The two main and competing drinking holes are Swindlers at Hotham Central and The General The Jenny close to Big D. Swindlers seems to attract the younger, fashion-concious crowd while The Jenny is more down to earth. Both stay open late and often put on live music and DJs. Both get suitably messy as the night wears on with mountain staff trying to relieve the cabin fever.
Other places to go include The Snowbird Inn and Zirky's both of which are located within the village.
