What Nella Z doesn't like about Hot Tamale:
If i could give 5 negative stars i would. firstly, we came in and the lights were off, pitch black and my friend fell over and tore her ligaments after having surgery and stitches a few hours prior, see photo evidence. secondly, we have been threatened that they will call the supervisors. we were confused as to why thirdly, the pepsi was flat. furthermore, the cleaning station was exposed, but it took them about half...

Hot Tamale is known in Darwin and for good reason: They have excellent food and delicious cocktails (and they produce some of the best bartenders in the NT).

Nice waterfront place with terrace and bar stools. Great for a few drinks with a view. Had a few snacks that weren't bad, but did not blow us away either.
