Bojangles Saloon – A Bit O’ Fun On the Tourists

Bojangles Saloon – A Bit O’ Fun On the Tourists

I had the most fun lunching in the Bojangles Saloon, located on the main strip (and there’s really only one) of Alice Springs. If the swinging doors don’t pique your interest, check out the saddle seats at the bar, or the cowhide bench seats, or the boots that are nailed to the ceiling as if someone was dancing up there and just fell out of them.

Order at the bar and then take a seat and look around. Oh, and make sure to go to the washroom first, if you can get in! The “hinges” are painted on the side of the door that opens, so you push and push to get in until one of the locals takes pity on you and let’s you in on the gag. Once you’re inside, however, you’re on your own to find out which faucet the water is going to come out of. It makes no sense, but it’s loads of fun! Darn, I just ruined the local’s fun for the next time. Pretend to be stuck, make them happy.

While waiting for the food (and you’ll wait a while, it’s hot, and they’re in no hurry), check out the snake display in the glass case. Go ahead, fall for it – put some money in to make the snake move. (There are real ones in there, though.)

There are a lot of choices on the menu, and I was in a nachos mood that afternoon. When the bowl arrived at the table, I’d have needed me and a dozen hungry dingos to finish off the lot, but it was fun giving it a go anyway.

The place even has a webcam, and broadcasts stage acts 7 nights a week.

The food was decent (though I thought pricey, but then, so was everywhere else)and the ambiance was loads of fun. I’d highly recommend this saloon for anyone who wants to have a great time!
