The rundown once grand art deco Commonwealth Bank at the corner of Bennett and Smith Street, Darwin, has been turned into an attractively revamped pub called Rorkes, with an outdoor beer garden in a courtyard at the rear . Upstairs is a nightclub. There had been a Rorke's Drift bar and café in the Mitchell Street nightclub precinct. Another part of the building is given over to medical services of some kind where presumably one can get treatment after a close encounter with a Zulu wielding a pointy assegai .
