  2. Aviat Club

    Serves the cheapest beer and reasonable Chinese; it's a very local scene with snooker tables, pokies and a band most Wednesdays. The main bar is members-only but the nightclub is not and considerably rougher.

  3. Club 69

    This is currently the club of choice with locals and expats alike. Security is top notch, which means you should be able to shake your booty to an eclectic mix of local reggae, R&B, hip-hop and pop on the packed dance floor in safety. There's no street sign; watch for the queue outside the stadium.

  4. Planet Rock

    A big nightclub opposite the old airfield where the music is deafening and security both inside and out is necessarily tight. There's no extra charge for fighting.
