The Best Place To Take a First Date In Darwin

darwin2For the ultimate relaxed first date, meet up at one of Darwin’s favourite pubs, Squires Tavern. Sunshine, drinks and bar snacks in a beer garden are a great way to while away an afternoon getting to know your date. If it extends into the evening, get a meal at the bistro or relocate to a waterfront restaurant.

The Best Romantic Date In Darwin

If your date isn’t a steak lover they have a choice of local seafood dishes. Share a bowl of the chips with harissa mayo over sunset views and sea breezes and it will be a date to remember.
