Darwin’s only duelling piano bar

Sweethearts @ The Cinema Collective – where live music, local flavour and late nights come together.

Step inside and feel right at home, where live music, local flavour and late nights come together. Named after ‘Sweetheart,’ the infamous croc who ruled the Finniss River in the ’70s and became a true Top End icon.

With live entertainment seven nights a week, Sweethearts is built around connection, sound, and atmosphere. At the heart of it all are our duelling pianos, bringing a one-of-a-kind live music experience with a fast-paced, request-driven show. From live bands to late-night DJ sets, there’s something for everyone, every night of the week.

Designed with warm, industrial textures, exposed brick, local timber, and an open-plan layout, Sweethearts offers a welcoming space for everything from casual dinners to lively celebrations.

Our Territory fusion menu blends pub classics with local flavours, while the bar delivers everything from signature cocktails to late-night favourites. Come for the food, stay for the music, and experience the true spirit of Darwin at Sweethearts.
