Alice Springs: Bars & Nightlife

Despite its laid-back vibe, night life does happen in Alice’s pubs and taverns, and there are even casinos and clubs if you're bent on gaming or dancing. Sports fans can keep up with national and international events at several bars that broadcast live with Fox Sports. Also, there are several annual music festivals including the Bush Bands Bash (September) with indigenous music, and the Bass In The Dust (October) which both bring good tunes. Stay tuned, and check the local newspaper for upcoming festivals and events. Do keep in mind, however, that Alice is officially "dry" so drinking is not allowed in public but only at a private premise, bar or restaurant.
