Beach. The view through the palm trees from the beer garden is a winner, and there are
often live bands.
Deck Bar
BAR
(
www.thedeckbar.com.au
; 22 Mitchell St)
At the nonpartying parliamentary end of Mitchell
St, the Deck Bar still manages to get lively with happy hours, pub trivia and regular live
music. Blurring the line between indoors and outdoors brilliantly, the namesake deck is
perfect for people-watching.
Darwin Sailing Club
SPORTS CLUB
(
www.dwnsail.com.au
;
Atkins Dr, Fannie Bay)
More upmarket than the ski club, the sailing club
is always filled with yachties enjoying a sunset beer overlooking the Timor Sea. Tunes
on the sound system are surprisingly un-yacht club (no Christopher Cross or Rod Stew-
art), and its waterfront bistro is a great place for dinner, too. Sign in as a visitor at the
door (bring some ID).
Shenannigans
PUB
(
www.shenannigans.com.au
;
69 Mitchell St)
It's a long way from Cork, but Darwin has a few
Irish-theme pubs. Shenannigans mixes it up with a big Mitchell St terrace, hearty food
and big party nights. Guinness aplenty, live music and rugby on the TV.
Wisdom Bar & Grill
BAR
(
www.wisdombar.com.au
;
48 Mitchell St)
Bright blue walls, velour couches and a streetside
terrace with a tree growing out of it add up to a more intimate version of the Tap on
Mitchell.
Ducks Nuts Bar & Grill
BAR
(
www.ducksnuts.com.au
;
76 Mitchell St)
A big backlit cocktail bar, regular live music and the
swanky vodka bar give the Ducks Nuts plenty of cred.
