There are too many changes to keep up with so we have limited information at the moment.

Ten Litchfield Located at 10 Litchfield Street, Darwin - Take a phone as it's hard to find Tel when in Darwin 8981 1024. Actually an easy way to describe it is a side street one over from Cavenagh Street. If you go down Knuckey Street from the Smith Street Mall it's the second street on the right.
As any true local would know - Tim (a very close friend of Marg and myself) know hows to treat his patron's.
Great prices, good meals, natural outdoor shaded setting 'Ten Litchfield' has it all.
>>>>>>> Actually we went to the APT xmas party there in December 2007 and it was so crowded but bursting of the 100's of folks comes Tim with that grin that would charm anyone and shouting our names.

Rendezvous Cafe Best
Many locals really like their Laksa in town and a range of Asian dishes to please the discerning pallette.
Located at the back of the Star Village in Smith Street Mall.

Salvators
Can't miss it it is opposite Smith Street Mall on Knuckey Street. Cafe but a good place for a bit and coffee/tea and watch the world pass you by. The service is quiet good when we have been there - very professional and rather quick for the volume of traffic they had through.

Mitchell Street located one street back from the The Esplanade and one street over from the Smith Street Mall in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Mitchell Street is currently regarded by the locals as our entertaiment district.
Did you know around the late 1980's the entertaiment district was also covering Cavenagh Street and the Top End of Mitchel Street. Nowdays it is centred around a 500m stretch of Mitchell Street in the CBD. Mitchell Street is regarded as the nightlife centre of Darwin with it's cinema's, sidwalk cafes, open air sidwalk bar's, upmarket restaurant's, 5 Star hotels and quaint Irish, English oh yes and Aussie pubs.
We are proud to say Mitchell Street is one our 'clean, proper and peaceful' entertaining areas of Darwin for the friends, groups, family or singles. Especially our own Darwin Entertainment Centre.
This photo's sums up Mitchell Street's flavour for trend, style and old Darwin charm - The euorpean vista bike outside of the sidewalk cafe nestled in an old style Darwin building.

 

Monsoons Bar & Restaurant in Darwin
Located at 46 Mitchell Street, Darwin.
Tel: +61-8-8941 7171
Actually known as the old Rorkes Drift adjoining the new section above near the corner of Knuckey Street.
Monsoons Bar & Restaurant occupies the city's original cinema building, which formerly was O'Rourke's Drift, the venue has been restored and remodelled to create an atmosphere that fuses The Orient with Middle Eastern and Australian charm. Capable of accommodate upwards of 500 people it has one of the largest entertainment floor spaces in darwin currently.
The premises has a relaxed feel but you get the impression from the staff's hussle and bussel it's a tight ship in service.
We have been in a few times but haven't eaten there yet. When we do we will let you know.
Bill's Reminising!!! This used to be the old Dunlop Tyres storeroom i the 1970's

Safety: As most of our clients we find are very responsible with their movements then going out at night with your normal guidleines for safe entertainment will apply. Yes there are some altercations this generally happens at the early hours of 4am in the morning when nightclubs close. We are lucky that our council and local government leaders such as the recently retired chief minister Clare Martin have been paying particular attention to safety on the streets. It was nice the other night to see Clare walking Mitchell Street late at night with the Police Chief inspecting police safety measures on the street. Well done Clare we really respected that.

So to all our clients just be sensible and take care.

Suggestions - Always as in any city, in any country be careful at ATM machines, try to go with friends, don't leave your drinks unattended, don't leave alone with people you are unsure of and have just met, make sure you don't walk back to your accommodation - get a taxi or walk back earlier in the evening.

Police: Maybe weare biased but we feel the local police are the friendliest we have ever known around the world. As travel agents we have seen more countries than the entries we put in for tattslotto on a mega draw.
