The Barra Bar & The Souvlaki Bar

Best place in town for that drunken feast time. They have the most crunchy calamari rings i have tasted, bring on the drunken crunch obsession. Other drunken delights "cheesy curry chips" or "nacho chips" all over my drunken face. Haha

The Barramundi was good but not the greatest. The chips were very good and I did enjoy them. The salad was OK. the sauces were all dull. But enjoyable indeed. The next night we came back for souvlakia - same venue except now split into the Souvlaki Bar section. Average but OK. Next time, Barra Bar again.

I have bought fish & chips at the Barra Bar many times, and they have always been of the highest standard.

They also serve Yiros, and salads, and they look pretty good too.

When I was there a few days ago, Friday, I was told that they were open until 5:00am - maybe that's not every night - I'll ask next time.

Barra Bar is in the heart of the CBD & Tourist Precinct, so parking can be an issue. The trick is, drive up Knuckey Street, past the Police Station, and turn into the underground car-park. the first two hours' parking is free. Take the escalator back to ground level, and cross Mitchell Street, and you're at the Barra Bar.

There are tables & chairs at the Barra Bar, but there are alco ample parks within 500 metres.

I think I just died and went to fish heaven! The best barra I've ever had. The service was great, I enquired about serving sizes with what I presumed was the owner, he made a joke about my pregnant stomach vs 'putting on a few' and ' some sick type of cravin', it lightened the mood and made the wait worth it- cheeky bugger! I would suggest eating in as chips got cold by time I got back to hotel. Range of chip varieties (chilli cheese looked fab) and other food. Price looked ex-ie at $ 9 per small serve of barra however serve with chips ($ 16) was heaps and I have paid much more for imported fish in a restaurant which was not half as good. I'll be back, Yummo!

We were in Darwin a couple of weeks ago and ate at The Barra Bar. I had grilled barramundi and salad and it was sensational. The fish was juicy and tasty and the salad fresh and delicious. We were with a few friends and some had crumbed barra and some battered and they couldn't stop raving about how good it was. I will definitely go back.
