A Central Australian night out
Alice Springs has dining options ranging from the fast and convenient to exclusive fare to impressive the most experienced palette. There are a myriad of restaurants, pubs, cafes and hotels throughout Alice Springs, or there is nothing like a meal out under the stars. There is sure to be a style to suite your taste or budget.
Thanks to the amazing mix of cultures and dining options you can enjoy a wide choice of superb international dining - Swiss, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Turkish, Mexican, Italian or the perfect Aussie steak – try beef, kangaroo, buffalo, crocodile or camel! There is also a fast growing bush foods industry in Alice Springs and many restaurants are taking on the wonderful flavours and experience of the local indigenous culture and cooking. It is also hard to believe that here in the desert you still have access to fresh seafood – flown in regularly from other coastal areas of Australia. Northern Territory Barramundi is our specialty! Alice is the perfect place to take your taste buds around the world without leaving the Northern Territory!
Nightlife in Alice Springs is as varied as the adventures you can have during the day. There are many Outback style pubs and bars; most come with live music and an outdoor area to enjoy the great climate. If you are after something a bit more sophisticated there are several bars to enjoy, such as the Crowne Bar, Juicy Rump at the Casino, or The Lane. Alice Springs also has some of the most creativity people you will find anywhere – perhaps it is due to there being such a convergence of cultures here. This means that there are always local plays, performances, musical acts and more, especially during the famous Alice Desert Festival.
