Brown's Mart
Look in to see who or what is currently in residence at this multiform venue-for-hire. It's often at the centre of local events, so you could luck into anything from a short-film night, stand-up or a concert.

Darwin City Cinemas
It's the air-con as much as the blockbuster films that appeals here. You could stay cool for the day and make your way around the five screens, subsisting on popcorn and ice cream.

Darwin Ski Club
Most locals get through the working day with the knowledge that, before nightfall, they'll be standing beachside on a beautiful big patch of lawn watching the sun set on another Darwin day. Join the club - really: visitors gain a free membership to this waterski club on arrival. The ante is upped at weekends, usually with live music. With no neighbours, who's complaining?
-
Deck Bar
Wash down delicious Asian, Moroccan and European offerings with a selection from the excellent range of wines, many available by the glass, or the 20-odd ales on tap. The lubricated chatter out on the expansive wooden deck is about the latest mobile phones, the boss, the property market or the Deck's first-rate coffee.

Deckchair Cinema
Recline in a deckchair, catch whiffs of frangipani and watch an A-grade movie under the stars. Bring in some dinner, snacks or soft drink; alcohol is available to purchase at the bar, as are sweets and snacks. Jervois Rd is off Kitchener Dr.

Fox'n'Fiddle
Hands up those who think shouting at a shellfish counts as entertainment? Then hurry on down for the hermit-crab races, which are usually followed by bands most nights, bingo at 'lucky seven' o'clock on Tuesday, or come on Monday for something even more trivial: quiz night.

Shenannigans
Step inside and you'll feel as though you've been transported far away to the temperate zone. This attractive Irish-style pub has Guinness and Kilkenny on tap and hearty stews to stick to your bones when you get peckish.
-
Skycity
Darwin's flashy casino has all-night table games and hungry gaming machines, song and dance at Sweethearts bar, and a flush of restaurants and bars for you to spend your winnings or cheer up in if the chips are down.
-
Tap
Opened in '06, the Tap is not sceney, just scenic: open to the Mitchell St parade with mostly outdoor seating - some beneath the boughs of an enormous old melaleuca tree. Its techno-lit bar is well stocked with booze, and off to the side you can order greasies like fish 'n' chips and burgers till .
-
Throb
Darwin's only camp and carefree club, Throb can get flirty. Ladies, gents and transgenders come out of the woodwork and out of themselves, especially on one of the many dress-up nights.

Victoria Hotel
If the walls could talk at this old-timer, they'd regale you with decades' worth of drinking stories swirling around in its two stories. Hordes stop into this old stone hotel, including bubbly twentysomethings occupying the balcony and upstairs pool tables, busloads of tour groups and locals who like the company.

Wisdom
One of the new breed of bars emerging along the main drag, this sparkling place has street-side seating (more outside than in), and offers all-day meals. The kitchen fires up early for breakfast, and continues through to lunch and dinner. On the site of former dentists' rooms (hence the name), remember to brush after your meal.
