Shenannigans

City Center Fodor's Choice

You'll likely hear it before you see it—there's live music every day of the week, and folks are singing or dancing along with it outside on the terrace. This lively and local favorite Irish pub and restaurant offers traditional pub grub as well as a special Sunday roast, with Guinness, Kilkenny, and Harp on tap, among other popular beer selections. Join in on trivia on Tuesday night or don your cowboy hat for country music night on Friday.

Hotel Darwin

City Center

Built as a hotel in the 1940s, the original structure survived the bombing of Darwin and Cyclone Tracy only to be torn down in 1999 and rebuilt as the popular bar and steak house you see today. Stop by for some great tucker, catch a game inside the sports bar, try your luck with the keno and TAB machines, or grab a drink and relax in the spacious outdoor beer garden.
