The Swinging Doors
Saba’s one and only “Country & Western saloon”. Husband and wife team Eddie and Pat have a policy on the music they play, Country & Western only, he has a massive collection so even if it's not your kind of music, there'll always be a tune you'll leave with... humming and whistling you on your way.

Tuesday and Friday nights it's B.B.Q. where Eddie cooks excellent ribs and chicken over an open charcoal grill. $12.00 per person for ribs, chicken or a combo served with fried rice, baked beans and a smile.

Sunday night it's Steak Night. $18.00 for a rib eye steak, baked potato with butter, sour cream and side salad. Due to its popularity with tourists and Sabans alike reservations are definitely recommended on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday for food.

All three popular nights are great value as Eddie & Pat always serve up an ample plate of delicious food and enough jovial banter to make you want to stay afterwards and drink the night away... until Eddie utters those cheerful words "drink up folks, you don't gotta go home... but you can't stay here". Cash Only.
