Entertainment in The North

  1. A

    Central

    The Hotel Formby’s popular bar Central, across the road from the river, is Devonport’s happening- est bar, done out in leather couches with concertina windows opening onto the river on warm summer nights. There are live bands on Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday arvo is saved for laid-back acoustic music.

  2. B

    Spurs Saloon

    Serves you drinks in a Wild West setting with barrels for tables and the requisite stuffed animal-head menagerie on the walls. There's karaoke here Thursday night, and the eight-ball tables are popular with the young blokes.

    Warehouse Nightclub

    This is one of Devonport's few clubbing hangouts and draws a young crowd to boogie to up-and-coming bands a few times a month and Saturday-night DJs.

  6. F

    Central at the Formby

    Devonport's best bar is all flash with leather sofas and laid-back cool, and they fold the concertina windows open onto the river on warm nights. There are live bands Fridays and Saturdays; Sunday afternoons see acoustic sessions and a more sophisticated crowd.
