Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group (ALH) has acquired its third Northern Territory hotel this year and has undertaken to cleanse the venue of adult entertainment.
ALH spokesman David Curry told TheShout the acquisition of Darwin’s Parap Tavern from NT Pubco Pty Ltd, will be settled today.
It follows ALH’s purchase earlier this year of two other Darwin venues, Palmerston Tavern and Airport Tavern, from Barreau Hotel Group.
Parap Tavern has been a favourite with the locals for its Friday afternoon strip shows, which ALH’s Curry confirmed are set for the chop.
“We don’t operate strippers or topless entertainment at any of our pubs,” he said.
Curry said the new venues “meet the criteria of good pubs in good locations” for ALH.
