Darwin Sailing Club + more!

Atkins Drive in Fannie Bay is home to several award-winning beachfront restaurants: Darwin Ski Club, Darwin Sailing Club and Darwin Trailer Boat Club. 

All three venues are prime spots to watch the iconic Darwin sunsets all year round, with expansive menus and a range of tasty weekly specials. 

Parap Tavern 

If you want a true Territory pub experience, look no further than the iconic Parap Tavern. Established over 80 years ago in 1937, the pub is a regular watering hole for Darwin locals. 

Their menu has all of your pub favourites as well as seafood, salads and tasty share plates. 

Silks 

Silks is one the areas newest venues with stunning trackside views of the Darwin Turf Club and racing action. 

It features a restaurant, outdoor deck, huge rooftop, gaming lounge and sports bar. Check out The Track specials with $15 meal deals every weekday. 

Silks also hosts Rooftop BBQ Nights every Friday in the dry season where you can indulge in a smoked BBQ menu under the stars.

Saffrron 

Described as authentic yet innovative Indian cuisine, Saffrron is all about reflecting the cultural diversity of Darwin and supporting local eating. 

Saffrron is big on sustainability and sources local produce from across the Top End, so you know you’re going to be served fresh food. 

We recommend the Barramundi Mooli, made with local Humpty Doo Barramundi. Saffrron is also BYO so grab a bottle of wine up the road at BWS Parap beforehand. 

Darwin Railway Club

Hidden in the back streets of Parap, Darwin Railway Club is one of Darwin’s oldest clubs, originally opening for railway workers back in 1974. 

The club has evolved over the years to become a social hotspot for the Darwin community, hosting a regular array of musicians and performers. 

The rainforest-like beer garden out the back embodies our tropical lifestyle here in the Top End and is the ideal place to enjoy an afternoon beer and a bite to eat. 

Oka Teppanyaki 

Appreciate the art of traditional Japanese teppanyaki at Oka Teppanyaki at Parap Village.

As Darwin’s only teppanyaki restaurant, you’re guaranteed a lively atmosphere as you watch the Japanese chefs curate flavour filled dishes.

Your Japanese dining experience is not complete without a bit of Sake, so give the Sake Testing Set a go if you’re feeling brave. 

Parap Fine Foods 

Parap Fine Foods is an iconic Darwin institution. Established by the Pantazis family over 50 years ago, the store has grown into much more than a corner store - it's a destination for some of Darwin's best local gourmet food and fine wine. 

Even better, it's right across the road from the Hudson. We'd recommend getting yourself a picnic from Parap Fine Food's famous deli and heading on down to East Point to enjoy the feast and watch the sunset.

Prickles 

Prickles is a traditional Mexican restaurant located in the Parap Village! Choose from burritos, enchiladas, and other dishes that can made vegan by removing cheese and sour cream. Vegan options include bean burritos, bean enchiladas, guacamole, corn chips, bean tacos, salsa, and rice.

Sip a tequila, chuck on a sombrero hat and settle in for a beautiful night of laughs and good food at this funky venue!
