fiogf49gjkf0d Like the surrounding desert, night-time Alice initially appears lifeless. However, something can be found going on somewhere most nights, particularly in the latter half of the week. The fortnightly freebie,
Pulse
, or Alice's daily
Centralian
Advocate
, carry details of what's going on.
The
Todd Tavern
, at the top of Todd Mall, is the town's landmark
drinking
spot, complete with "unofficial" segregated bars. Thursday night at
Bojangles
on Todd Street is all action and
The Stuart Arms
, right by the "Sails", also features
live bands
most nights. The latter pub also houses
Legends
, the town's most popular
nightclub
; if you want to get past the bouncers, then collars and covered shoes are "the go". There's
jazz and blues
at
Scotty's
and at
The
Winery
on Sunday afternoon from 1pm.
Sean's Irish Sibin
at
Malathi's Restaurant
is a quieter option, while homesick Brits can head for the
Firkin and Hound
, on Hartley Street, a British theme pub that shows just what can be done with a multilevel car park and a little imagination. If nothing else tempts you, there's always the
cinema
at the top of Todd Mall, with cheap nights on Tuesday. Check the programme at the
Araluen Arts Centre
(tel 08/8952 5022) on Larapinta Drive: you'll usually find a worthwhile play, film or concert. And if you're feeling lucky,
Lasseters Hotel Casino
on Barrett Drive can accommodate you - but again, not in thongs and a tatty singlet.
