Seriously get off the plane and go to this bar whenever we come to town. A local crowd who clearly love community set the vibe for a great night. Bands are brilliant. A local man dances all night and has become iconic to us!!! Wish we could transport this bar to Adelaide!!!

Live Music Thursday to Sunday, good atmosphere. Pretty safe if you want to go there at night, it’s in the casino.

We went to see Killer Queen as a family. Kids are allowed in the bar area. Music and food was great. Definitely worthwhile checking the even schedule of Bar36 when you are in town. No entrance fee.
