  1. Bojangles

    Swing open the saloon doors to boots, barrels and bones, with a snake slithering through the eye sockets of a cow skull. It's all affecting a Wild West air, which travellers love. Grab a handful of peanuts from the barrel by the door and sidle up to a communal table with a beer in hand. Then settle in for some Territory tucker: camel and stout pie perhaps, roo fillet, fish or a veggie dish.

  2. Firkin & Hound

    This is a low-lit, subdued Brit tavern; it's a pleasant place to sink a chilly brew from the 10 on tap or down some pub grub. The cosy dining room (mains around A$12 to A$25 ; open lunch and dinner) at the rear emphasises UK fare like beef-and-Guinness pie and beef Wellington, plus some trans-Atlantic competition like American ribs.

  3. Lasseter's Hotel Casino

    Lasseter's is filled with flashing lights and musical blips. Along with the usual slot and table games, there's the classic Aussie two-up ring (from Friday and Saturday). The casino is named after a man who died a terrible death in his quest for riches - go figure.

  5. Todd Tavern

    Locals fall in and out of this no-fuss Aussie pub with regularity. More than just a bar, the Todd has pokies, plus the Pub Caf - one monster meal here should set you up for the week. The usual burgers and snacks are on offer, as well as buffet specials such as the Sunday roast.
