Pubs & clubs

You might not expect to find much in the way of drinking holes in a small city like Darwin, but you’d be wrong! The place is full of pubs and clubs, and people looking to have a good time. Like all good Aussie’s the locals love their beer, and where else would they go to indulge themselves without a bunch of pubs in town?

It’s the traditional pub that is the chief attraction of the drinking scene in Darwin. Head down Mitchell Street, the main drag in Darwin, and play some traditional pub games while you knock back a cold one. Pool is often the order of the day, so grab a cue and enjoy the game! Gambling is also a popular sport in the Aussie pub, and it’s no different in the Top End. Have a go on the pokies, or place a bet on keno and you could end up with a bit more money to spend on beer by the end of the night! If this isn’t your thing, you might want to catch one of the live bands doing the pub circuit around the city, or just relax in a beer garden.

While there aren’t as many nightclubs as there are pubs in Darwin, you can find them if you look. Party into the night with DJ’s and live bands in nightclubs that stand up against some of the country’s best.
