Globies Bar

Editorial Review

Editorial Review

Globies is a bit of an institution in these parts. Part of the Globe Trotters backpackers, there's no prize for guessing what kind of debauchery can happen here. And when a host of international travellers get together for a good time, the answer is always 'only the best kind'. Which pretty much makes Globies a party every night of the week. There's also a quieter lounge area, if you don't feel up to partying, where you can sit back and soak up the air-con.

Local sports fans are also drawn to the bar, owing to the installation of one of the biggest TVs in Darwin. Live sports and replays screen constantly, with locals regularly making their way to the bar for the latest match. Naturally, you'll also find homesick Brits and Europeans getting a fix of their home team's action. And when the game is over, you can cool off in the pool outside. Yes, there's even a pool, complete with its own bar.

Beers offered are your usual suspects: VB, Carlton Draught, Stella, Asahi, Coopers Pale Ale and more, all offer a reliable choice. Wines are also available, although the list is fairly humble. What matters is that drinks are ice-cold, served late into the night, and all come in an entertaining atmosphere.
