Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Lizards Bar and Restaurant is a sports-focused venue on Mitchell Street in Darwin CBD, combining a bar, restaurant and gaming facilities in one location. It promotes live sports on screen, with pool tables, TAB, Keno and 20 pokie machines, making it suited to visitors looking for more than a sit-down meal.
The food offering covers morning, lunch, dinner, afternoon and late dining, although the supplied menu does not list individual dishes. Drinks include cocktails and tap beers, while the venue’s bottle shop stocks wines, craft beers and artisanal spirits. The website also describes the venue as a steak house, but does not provide further detail about its steak selection.
Lizards hosts live music nights, State of Origin screenings and themed parties, and offers space for birthdays, corporate events and casual gatherings. Its functions information highlights a vibrant atmosphere and a team that helps plan events. It could suit sports fans, groups meeting for a drink or meal, and visitors wanting gaming or entertainment alongside their food. The venue also welcomes solo patrons seeking a place to watch live sport, though the available website information does not provide enough detail to assess its suitability for families or intimate dining.
