Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Hotel Darwin brings together three distinct pub spaces in Darwin CBD: a steakhouse, beer garden and sports bar. It is open seven days a week from 10am until midnight, with the kitchen serving from 11am to 9pm. The venue caters for lunch, dinner and late-night service, with walk-ins welcome alongside bookings. A late-night menu is available through to closing in the Sports Bar and Beer Garden.
Food is centred on a full steakhouse menu, a sports bar menu and a separate coffee menu. The venue says it focuses on quality ingredients and local produce where available, with options ranging from steak to familiar pub meals. Its weekday specials give regulars another reason to visit, including rump cap skewers on Monday, buffalo or bourbon barbecue fried chicken wings on Tuesday, barbecue pork ribs on Wednesday, 300g sirloin on Thursday, and snapper and chips at Friday lunch.
The Sports Bar is set up for live sports and also hosts Wednesday-night pool competitions, while the beer garden provides another area for eating and drinking. These spaces make Hotel Darwin suited to casual meals, watching a game or meeting friends for a drink. Larger groups are catered for too, with reservations requested for tables of 12 or more. Bookings and walk-ins are both accepted for the broader dining service.
Hotel Darwin has received recognition including AHA NT Best Overall Metropolitan Hotel in 2022 and Hospitality NT Gold Plate awards for Best Casual Dining Venue in 2018 and 2021. The venue also offers functions, gaming, membership and Loaded Rewards gift cards, giving visitors options beyond a standard meal. With its long daily service, late-night food and mix of dining and bar areas, it suits groups looking for a flexible CBD pub venue, sports fans and diners after a straightforward steakhouse or pub meal.
