The 46 best places to party in Adelaide

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience involving Tam Boakes at this venue. My partner accidentally left his cymbals in the band room for a few weeks and attempted to contact the venue multiple times without any response. When he finally managed to speak with Tam, he was met with a surprisingly rude and dismissive attitude. We were told, “Someone came in and shipped them off” and “We did a clean out,” with no accountability or follow-up beyond, “I’ll ask them about it.” . No responsibility was taken. Just keep in mind, Tam, that these musicians are the people keeping you in business, the same musicians that rallied to keep your venue open just a few years ago, and this is how you treat them in return.

Saw Alta Falls play their national tour here, and the venue was amazing! Such a fantastic vibe.

Incredible venue, great bar, small and close up with your favorite bands

Lovin the old jive bar great atmosphere and sound is better than lion arts up the road that's for sure

Well run place, was great to be with lots of other people loving live music, good stage, good bar, perfect size

I love Jive. drinks are reasonably priced, lots of seating, lots of standing! when there’s a good sound guy you’ve got yourself a little haven for live music. a great intimate venue. nothing better. cheers guys

It's old, but it's a cool place to see great bands... Cheap too and good beer range.

From United States California and saw a post with there signs. This place is becoming a meme for poor customer service. I will remember to never ever come here. As someone who appreciates my rights as a human kinda disgusting. Can’t even wear Ugg boots. Honestly this pub needs to look at themselves

we went for my friends birthday, got a booth, some random people kept coming to our booth and drinking our drinks. the bartender who came over to help us was really awesome and we loved her. we got kicked out of our booth for some reason tho and the "owner" was speaking to us very condescendingly. my friends also got yelled at for being in the alleyway outside for a smoke, thought that was the reason for that area but who knows? tbh never liked zhivs and it's all going downhill like dogs and reds did.

As a bartender, the drinks are horrible. I asked for a drink with Vida and they served me a drink that didn't have vodka. When I complained, The bartender was upset with me as if I were an idiot, Man, I'm a bartender, I've worked with drinks and I know what I'm saying. He was trying intimidate me. It was a terrible experience. I didn't recommend that place. And also, The birthday tables and courtesies are not worth it. The worst night club I've met.

This is not a safe place for anyone. The bouncer kicked me out because a guy accused me of taking photos of him. Which I did not. This brown bouncer lied about seeing me doing so while he wasn’t even there at the first place. A group of drunk men surrounded my two female friends and bully them. The security let that happen. What’s worse is that the staff joined the bullying, tried to steal my camera away from me, violently attacked us. A police report has been filed afterwards. This is awful and disgusting behavior i would not recommend this club to anyone.

Was given "free drink" voucher by staff prior to entry; had to pay (exorbitant) cover charge to enter club, then bar staff REFUSED to honour drink voucher!! SCAM!!

Shivago is like the sewage of the night life, at the end of the night everything drains there, good music, nice vibes, dark vibes, would probably end up there again somehow.

Was nice and accommodating for all walks of life. Bar staff was nice and a great vibe.

Female bartender 12:45am refused to give us drink even though we are completely sober. I have never witnessed such disgusting service from someone in my life. I would rate her 0 stars if I could :(

$25 for entry and the only floor available was the bottom one. Renovations is fine but lower the entry price if you decide to open the venue at the same time. Music was good and the aesthetic is cool.

The bartender broke someone's head with the door. And the owner, instead of helping, just threw the person away, insulting and attacking him more. The club sucks. Don't go.

Security guard was literally doing drugs infront of us, 40 buck entry, so not worth it

Venue has a sick aesthetic, trippy visuals were glorious. Staff were nice. Sound system was high quality. Music was the most dreadful noise trash I have ever heard, to the point where it shook me to the core that the DJ managed to get the job, and not in a stylistic way where I just didn’t like the genre it was just the composition had no quality at all. I know so many people who don’t even call themselves DJs who can cut 100x better mixes. Hire better DJ‘s.

Female bouncer pounced on us before we'd even considered entering by asking why we were walking down a public access road, then proceeded to tell us that I wasn't allowed in because I was wearing strappy sandals for safety reasons which is complete bullshirt as I imagine if those same strappy sandals had a 3 inch heel there'd be no problem. I said we were just wondering what type of music was going to be playing since we hadn't been to Electric Circus since about 2007 but she just wielded her tiny bit of power saying we couldn't come in. Clearly she'd peaked at door girl.

Awful and empty paying $25 the entry for that “party” a joke..

Ladies WATCH YOUR DRINKS. This place is known for drinks getting spiked. I've had friends, and SO many female acquiantances who have been spiked at Cry Baby. I spoke with a bouncer about their reputation, and he was well aware. I asked why they would only have 2 guards on duty if Cry Baby is renowned for women's drinks being spiked, and he couldn't answer. They also don't station a bouncer inside to even watch. This screams a complete lack of care for the safety of their patrons. Such a dangerous place to go.

James poured us a drink at 1:48am, calling last drinks, card declined so went to get my wallet to pay then 1:51am said that he wouldn't let us pay then took the drinks away and said service was closed Question that the drinks were there can just let us pay he declined Said he couldn't pour drinks after last drinks called but the drinks were already poured just needed payment

This little gem is hidden from the main roads so I was surprised when I found this place because I really like going here now. Cry Baby has a great range of beers on tap, friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere. They have large booths and this is great if you are planning to have an after-work drinks or large group gathering for any event at cry baby. Let's not forget the music, I have been here every time and the music is amazing. Ranging from your 50s to your 80s and 90s top tracks.

wild policy to let ppl cross over into another bar and not let ppl back in… my friends are trapped and couldn’t get back. maybe think ur policies through idiots

Came here visiting from Melbourne and I’m itching to go back! Your typical dive bar that is clearly a staple of Adelaide. Really pops off on the weekend with old school 70s/80s/90s tunes and an array of different characters dancing the night way

Come at 9 and you don't need to queue. My friend told me at 9 They can enter whenever you want. But me come after 10.40 and I have to wait till 11.30. but all this paid with the ambience. The songs is quite a bit 80's 90's and I like it. It's so crowded inside. So you have to be carefull while bringin your drink. my bag was wet bcs someone broke the glass and make the floor was sticky. Oh my friend getting annoyed by the other while dancing but It's getting fun hahaha.

Think about an American dive bar. This is it! Cool small bar with very good selection of beers and music. The staff are nice and friendly. The bathrooms are fun to see all the Playboy old covers...no good for kids, please. After midnight the music is pumping with great songs people dance and drink around the tables.

Mary's is really Adelaide's only gay club. If you want a night out somewhere inclusive, where you can be yourself, have fun, and dance your heart away, Marys is the go to (unless you dislike pop music). The drag shows - fantastic. The venue / layout - perfect. The staff and the overall vibes - .. sadly can be hit or miss. Let's get into it. Starting off with the staff. Some of the workers at Marys are the sweetest and friendliest people you will ever meet on a night out, whilst others are the complete opposite. Generally, there are really good people on the door, which I think is the most important. It's such a great feeling when the vibes are high lining up because the door staff and security are bringing that energy from the start, so hats off to them. This is very rare to see at other clubs in Adelaide. Unfortunately, the good service sometimes ends once you're inside. I would not describe a lot of the bar staff as friendly. Too many of the bar staff are only nice to the people they know, and quite sour to everyone else. It almost makes you not want to go get a drink. Now, the biggest issue I actually have with the bar staff here is the speed. My friends and I joke about Marys having the second slowest bar in Adelaide, behind only wax, and if you have been to wax, you already know. It's very clear that the hiring process for the bar staff is more of a social check than requiring properly experienced bartenders. This is a club, one of the busiest bar environments you can get, you need people who can handle that. If you hire people who don't have experience in an environment like that, then you need really good processes in place to upskill them. Now, I never really realised this as an issue until I went to Melbourne, and man, the clubs there, those bartenders are pumping out drinks unbelievably fast. It's not all bad though, the schlongs are fantastic and the water jugs on the sides of the bars are something I think every club should be doing. Next up the music and the overall vibes. For anyone reading this who hasn't been, it's all pop music, non-stop. Even the upstairs r&b saturdays... c'mon, who are you kidding, it's just regular pop playing up there too. The themed music Friday nights are some of the best nights out, Period. That first Chappel night was insane. The vibes on the dance floor are very good. Marys is one of the last clubs in Adelaide where everyone is actually dancing. Overall, it is a great atmosphere, and I would highly recommend for anyone into pop music who is looking for a good night out in Adelaide. However, sometimes it can kind of feel like a main character off, where people are just trying to be the best, and the hottest, and the most fun, and that can feel quite toxic. Almost as though people lose sight of the fact that the club is a place to let the music set you free and just be yourself. There's nothing management can do about this, but I thought it is worth mentioning for anyone deciding whether Marys is a place they should visit. Overall, very good atmosphere. Music is good if pop is what you're into. The dancefloor is actually dancey (which sadly can be rare nowadays). Lastly, please please remember this is an inclusive space. Be respectful, and most importantly, have fun.

Brilliant venue, great music, I love the updated entrance. Fast service at the bars. Good show. The upper level with the stage should be renovated next, a themed room with darker lighting such as RNB, or 90S would be awesome.

The bar is amazing! It has such good vibes. Sadly, the security guard (Nac) was extremely rude. He kicked my friend out just because she was dancing on the stairs. Usually, security would give a warning in these situations — we were simply dancing, nothing more. It was really disappointing given how great the place is otherwise.

For an inclusive club they were incredible EXCLUSIVE turning women away for wearing flats but heels were okay… the only difference is a 1 inch heel… horrific when not advertised online. Just another venue looking to exclude women. Used to love this space but will never return now.

Great bar set-up, 3 spaces to enjoy

The music and the show were excellent, everything else was really good. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined by a security guard whose behavior was rude and aggressive, which is completely unacceptable in a customer-facing role. People with such an attitude should not be employed, as instead of providing safety they create discomfort and distrust. It is urgent to review the quality and conduct of your staff.

Horrible experience tonight. Was approached in the line and told that open toed were not allowed unless they were wedges or heels for safety purposes, oddly specific. I was wearing a 4 inch wedge which I held out and showed and was told it was a flat and refused entry. When other members of our group arrived and challenged this some else came out of the bar and told him to let us in. So if it was a safety issue that caused him to approach us when we were not even at the front of the line why was it suddenly reversed. Honestly it felt targeted at women, especially those who had been before and had no issues, as of tonight there is also nothing on the website. Whoever you have on the door tonight was a real let down to this establishment. There is a large group of queer people who will no longer be supporting marys due to this man's targeted and rude behaviour. I know it seems petty to be this mad about a shoe, but that's the point. He told us a dress code requirement. I showed him that I was within that requirement and he started an argument that a 4 inch wedge was a flat and was extremely rude and dismissive the entire time. Do better.

Probably the worst place I’ve ever encountered. Whoever was the girl sitting taking entry at the door at 10:45pm on Saturday 7th of June was absolutely horrible. Her attitude and demeanour was appalling. I think her customer service needs to be reviewed. I understand you have rules but treating customers and people in general that way is absolutely appalling. We were kicked out for wearing a hat as she spoke to us with disgusting profanity and told we were to throw our hats out and line up all over again or we would be removed after another worker informed us we were fine to go through. We were nothing but friendly and understanding and queried why we wouldn’t be allowed in with a hate and she spoke to us with such a horrible profanity and language that it was borderline bullying.

Lined up to go into Rocket on Saturday at about 2am. Line was huge. Midway through the line up they start splitting people into two lanes. Kinda felt like they’ve already made their decision on patrons who they want to enter. Felt like a cattle cart. My friend was first out of group to be ‘assessed’ and was told he couldn’t go in. It was my turn next and the bouncer looked me up and down (checking me out?) and declared I could go inside. I explained I’m not going in without my friends, bouncers became aggressive towards my friends and blocked them from the entrance after another bouncer had said we could all go in? Mixed messaging and terrible aggressive attitudes from staff. Don’t bother.

When it came time to be let in I was getting my License from my wallet at the front of the door. I was told by the security guard to show my ID to another bouncer standing outside of the line. When I walked over to him he told me to go away. I asked him why and he asked how many drinks I had and I told him (3). He accused me of lying and said that I was sent over to him because I was too drunk. I was pretty clear with him that I was not lying and I was clearly not drunk, talking fine, standing fine, and so on. He told me to go speak to the other guy again. When I did, he asked me how many drinks I had, and I answered, he laughed and said "if you were honest I would have let you in" which was obviously a lie because he was not planning on letting me in anyway. He told me to go back to the other guy and said "he's the boss go talk to him". When I spoke to him, I asked him why he thought I was drunk and he kept giving childish responses like "nothing, I'm kicking you out for no reason" and "the police are walking past if you want to ask them". I told him that he was obviously saying it to get rid of me because the police were not going to make them let me in. At this point, my friend who had been let in, was waiting for me at the side of the entrance, where he was told he was allowed to stand but after he mentioned that he was waiting for me, the bouncer that checked my ID and his buddy grabbed him under the arms and threw him into me. Then the guy I was sent to and the guy that checked my ID (and assaulted my friend) kept saying "it's not my decision, go speak to the other guy" amongst other things like telling me I'm "bullshitting" and to "piss off". By this point it was obvious the guy I was sent to and two guys that assaulted my friend were making fun of me by sending me back and fourth because they kept looking at each other and laughing while being rude to me. Then when I got annoyed at them for laughing, they started yelling at us and the security manager came out and pulled me and my friend aside to talk to me about what happened. He explained that they have a job to do and it is within their rights to decline someone based on a "visual assessment" of how drunk someone is. I acknowledged that, but I made a point of how rude they were in doing so, and how they did not even tell me what was going on until I asked. He said that he still cannot let me in because he has to stand by their decisions, which is pretty poor given the fact that I had demonstrated that I was not intoxicated like they were saying. He was agreeing with whatever I said to him and it was clear to me that he was just trying to get rid of me and my friend, he said that he will review the footage and if what I am saying is true, it will be addressed. Then I asked if I could be let know what the outcome was, his response was "these guys are pretty replaceable, if you don't see them standing here, then you know it was dealt with". Was annoying because if he handled the situation properly, he would have gotten my contact details. He obviously had no plans of addressing the situation and advised us to go somewhere else to continue the night (it was 15 minutes before lockout at this point), but my question is, if he thought that I was sober enough to go somewhere else, why not let us in here? Needless to say, I was really annoyed at what had happened, and even more annoyed that after having agreed with me that what happened was wrong. The manager still didn't let me in or do anything to resolve the situation beyond speaking to me (i.e getting my contact details, asking them to apologies, or letting me in). Even after having written an email to rocket rooftop bar about it, I was not surprised when I was not told how this was dealt with and the same people were standing at the door when I returned, giving me the same attitude.

Strap yourselves in. I am what my friends call a rocket rat - or I used to be. Back in the glory days I was going to rocket every weekend dancing my little heart away, getting my life. As you can imagine, rocket will always have a soft spot in my heart but my feelings have changed over the past few years, as has the overall vibe and experience. Starting off with the music, I really like the music at rocket. On the bar floor it is housey, and electronic, and dancey, but still a lot of popular songs so people who aren't particularly into those genres will still have a good time. Now, I love the music upstairs on the rooftop. On a good night, it is very disco. But this really isn't for everyone, and I know a lot of people who hate the more lowkey disco house that is played upstairs, but that's all personal preference. To each their own. Next the overall club vibes. Now I don't know about yall, but for me, the club is a place to dance. Rocket's dancefloor is very hit or miss. Some nights it is going off, its is a party, it is a movie, we are getting our liifee, and other nights.. honey, more like a stand floor. So, you just have to manifest that you get lucky but I will add - if you want the dancefloor vibes to be high, you need to bring the high vibes yourself. Lots of people are too scared to be the first dancing, or they feel embarrassed, but you just gotta let the music set you free. If that doesn't sound like something you can do, then maybe the club isn't the place for you. Bar service is pretty good, but can be slow at times with staff talking to each other. Door girls.. oh door girls. Yall. Sometimes they are super sweet and sometimes its giving sour candy by lady gaga ft black pink. I know the door girls have to be somewhat strict, that's their job. But at the same time, the line and the entry is where the vibe of the venue begins and they need to get those vibes going at the door, otherwise the inside suffers. I must also add that there is a hint of discrimination at the door. One night I was lined up, quite late 1:30/2am ish, there was almost no line at that point. A group of arab blokes were just ahead of us in the line and one of the door girls kept saying to them "It's very busy, we're at capacity the line could be a while like 40 mins to an hour" seemingly trying to convince them to leave. Sure enough, the left the line, then she turned to us and said something along the lines of "we don't want their type in here. they cause problems" and next minute me and my friends were inside in no time. I was taken back; all my friends were. This was one of my favorite places to come and enjoy myself and meet new people, and to find out it was being run in a discriminatory way. I was devastated. Finally, somewhat tying back into my dancing point I just want to touch on how I feel it has changed over the years. Very obviously, people don't dance like they used to. This isn't unique to rocket though, lots of clubs are suffering. They are becoming, as I said, a stand around fest. If you want a boogie in town, especially if you are out for a dance by yourself, I would not recommend coming here - not anymore. The responsibility is on us, the people, to bring back the once legendary vibes. Even the staff and their friends, I see them mostly sitting around upstairs not dancing either. Maybe that's the vibe rocket is now going for, and if so, that's ok. But I miss what it used to be. I miss being able to come here by myself and dance till dawn with others who are there the same. 5 stars if it were 3 years ago, -2 because the vibes have changed. Also, one final final point for those wondering, I see you - this is the go to club for the DL bi men of Adelaide, trust, if you're looking.. yall know where to go.

Sorry but when the website says free entry before 1130 and then charges you $30 at 10:15 rip off. Posted one day ago on Facebook free entry false advertising

I got denied entry although I had my ID and told them that this is how I always look. They denied me entry because I looked funny.

Ben on the rooftop deserves a promotion. Much love to this guy.

We popped in yesterday and loved it. Massive (like huuuge) selection of drinks, really good service, and fun, easygoing vibes. There was a wine tasting on, so we shared a lovely bottle of Sangiovese while a DJ played chilled tunes. Intimate, a bit quirky, and just a really good night out.

Bank Street Social is a great place for a drink. Excellent range of....everything! Cocktails are always great. Friendly staff. Great vibe. You can order burgers from Bank Street Burger to go with your drinks!

We had a fabulous time at Bank St Social. We were celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary and were welcomed kindly by a beautiful staff member named Rose. We don't get out to Adelaide often, so we had to use Google to find our place of choice. We spotted this place and decided to give it ago, we booked in using the free online system. We booked from 5pm for drinks and were the only people at the venue for 30mins or so. We had great conversations with the staff and were delighted to see the variety of drinks and foods available. We had multiple of different drinks ranging from whiskey to cocktails. We ended up ordering the charcuterie board and it had great variety and amounts of food. I have never seen so much prosciutto at any venue in the past [thanks chef team!]. We finished the evening off by ordering a whiskey/chocolate pairing board, which was absolutely perfect. It was hand delivered to us by Drew who was most definitely a whiskey connoisseur! Thank you to the team, and if we're ever in Adelaide CBD without the children again, we will be back!

This awesome little bar was such a vibe! Drink choice is literally unlimited…their whiskey selection is out of this world!! The ambience of soft lighting, and the warmth of the intimate space is spot on!

I’ve been to plenty of bars, but Jazmin genuinely stands out. From the moment we walked in, she made the whole experience unforgettable. Her energy is unmatched — friendly, attentive, and always making sure everyone’s having a great time. The drinks came out fast and perfectly made every time. Highly recommend.

Great place for drinks in Adelaide any night of the week. Incredible range of whiskey, great cocktails, pizzas and top-notch service. Dimly lit, smooth tunes, and good vibes. Cranking with DJ sets on the weekend.

amazing venue amazing staff. amelia our bartender was quick and kind Marcus was also a brilliant guy to converse with i will be back every day if i could be. i love bank street social loads.

Very rude staff and security. Called abusive words to us and did not let us in. This guy ( big tummy and big in size) was so rude and called us two girls very abusive words and even lied about the things which we haven’t even said. Sometimes they just think that the world is under their control just because they work as a security for a club.

I went to a party and asked only for tap water. There was an Asian guy serving, he saw me and he just refused to serve!! I wasn’t even asking for alcohol… very very disappointing to be in the queue and get a “no” for water whiteout any reason.

Went to the 20th birthday party, terrible experience. Staff refused to give me tap water, twice! That's 100% unacceptable. Should report the Asian looking dude but this 1 star will hopefully do the work!!!

This place is way over hyped. It is very small and cramped. Drinks are overpriced. Music is way too loud. Venue smells awful. Owner has a questionable reputation. Security can be unnecessarily heavy handed with young patrons. This place really has very little going for it unless you are pinging hard and want to stare at the light up dance floor.

They let the staff treat you however they want. I had never met or known the VIP girl and the girl with coloured hair and glasses before. I was on a night out when they provoked, targeted and attacked me. To then just be banned when I was the one left with bruises and swollen face. The staff will treat you poorly and then just ban you. It’s not a safe venue at all.

Music choice Is pretty decent, keeps me moving. The venue itself is quite small and often becomes overcrowded and smells bad. Personally I'd spend my $20 on entry at a larger venue. Drinks are reasonably priced. If you can get in while it is free. It's 100% worth it. Gotta experience reds at least once!

Was walking past outside as was literally attacked by the owner, he tried to grab our drinks and say because it’s his property he could. Take them thankfully he was a 5’5 weak man and us teenage girls could easily take our drinks back

AMAZING ATMOSPHERE, came here for the underage Will Sparks tour and was amazed by how beautiful this place is, staff were very helpful. Crowd was crazy and had a good vibe. 10/10

My mates and I used to go to this club every weekend until the security guards changed, they started being very brutal and abusing their power dragging people down the stairs when they passed out instead of picking them up. Putting people in headlocks and dragging them out of the club, for a fight they weren’t involved in. They are discriminative to people wanting to enter the club. Also highly recommend having 000 on speed dial because you will more then likely get spiked in this club don’t recommend

Two 4 one cocktails was an added bonus. Great meals, plenty on the plate and lower prices than others in the area. Daily specials like a parmy and a pint fot $19. Lots to choose from, good friendly service. We will be back.

What is wrong with security guards?? A little guard pushed me twice. They harassed me. 4 men guards were in the woman's toilet now and again. Just Disgusting and worst place ever with security guards. Tho all the bar tenders were super nice and were dancing with us.

Fun place. Enjoyed my cocktail in a bucket. But way to much tomato on the margerita pizza. Slices were huge and cut thick. And the tatter tots with bacon cheese were yummy

Went to check this place out the other day (old haunt years ago) and it had a cute little ice cream bar you can access from the street! Had the best tasting rainbow ice cream I had in years! Better than paddlepop! Had a wicked name too!

Place is good, friendly security and face control, bartenders etc. But some (brunette lady) of bartenders was not smart enough to count from 1 to 2 and didn't serve additional drink although it was paid. My advice: don't waste your time and mood on stupid argument with not smart people!)

We attended a private Christmas function upstairs. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. The finger food that I tried was good. The decor and ambience was pleasant but unremarkable. Downstairs in the main bar area was very busy and very loud.

It is a wonder how distill maintains their liquor license. Not checking ids, letting anyone grab an over eighteen wristband, and even WORKING STAFF taking shots behind the bar. Just a reminder to staff, when you think someone is "too drunk" you either refuse service or kick them out, not shut them in a separate room with the security and disallow anyone else from entering.

Kayla is the best bartender I’ve ever seen in Adelaide!!! Definitely will come back amazing place and a very good vibe

Cannot comment on quality of food or drink, as service was so poor that we weren't acknowledged on a fairly quiet day by the 2 gents working 5-04-2025. Maybe the worst service I've ever encountered. Do not go here.

They still haven't paid me correctly.

Distill hosted my 30th birthday party and I couldn't be happier with their service! Great bartenders, great sound system, great decor. The venue comfortably held 100 guests with many areas for people to sit stand and mingle. Thanks again for a great night team!!

Leaning more to a 3.5 than a 3 stars. The venue is quite nice though I find that for a place that now claims to specialize in cocktails and heavily advertises them, they had run out of all ingredients to do cocktails by 11.30 (for a venue open till 3am). They also claim they are focusing on whiskey sours for winter (huge signs over their bar) and once again where out of eggs by 10pm. But the music upstairs was great and the line moved quickly to get up there too, generally clean for a club and staff are quite friendly, just a shame that half the reason you go there isn't available at a reasonable hour, hopefully they take their menus popularity into account soon when getting their stock so they can serve their amazing drink all night long. Picture: Luckily we got our hands on one of their lovely cocktails, this one is called Marigold and was beautiful!

Loved the waitress that served us. Shout out to Sarah! Tables were too close to each other and I could not squeeze in as the chairs and tables are just too narrow. Very uncomfortable and tight! Overrated food if you ask me. Not a fan of the in house whiskey sauce, it is just too darn sweet and do not go well with steak. Will come back to try something else.

Great place, amazing food and outstanding customer service. The lady on the front desk who welcomed us in was a pro, very friendly with very good people skills. We have eating at many TGIs and this one is up there, awesome lunch time deals too. Definitely worth a visit for sure!!

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and it was a lovely experience The prices were on the higher side, but the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was just as good The staff were all very friendly and attentive Each dish we ordered felt carefully prepared, with real attention to detail I think this place would be great for group gatherings as well :)

Food was pretty tasty, price seemed mid-range for a steakhouse, but service was so terrible. We went in without a booking, the restaurant was very quiet. There were 3 staff talking to each other at the cashier desk and when they looked our way didn’t acknowledge us. Two walked away eventually and we were seated by the other one. Took another 20mins for someone else to come take our order. We ordered dessert to come out after we finished our meal. Had a steak, delicious. No one came to clear our plates and we sat there for 40mins waiting for our dessert. Multiple staff hanging around, no one thought to clear our plates or to check on how our meal was. Husband ended up having to get up to ask someone to help hurry along the dessert. Another 15mins later they brought out the dessert. Again, delicious, but we had to prompt the server to clear our plates. I think the cherry on top was 2 minutes after they brought the dessert out they had the audacity to send someone come to our table to tell us they were closing soon and that we would need us to finalise our payment before they closed. It’s the most attention we got from serving staff all evening. Good food, but terrible service which doesn’t make it worth the price tag.

I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was just as impressive — the staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the finest casual restaurant in Adelaide. The manager recommended rib eye steak with signature glaze n crispy chicken wings as entry, passion fruit margarita for the beverage. Me and my partners enjoyed everything very much! It was all spot on!

Wanted an early Birthday 🥳 treat so went to TGIFridays at Marion for dinner and felt like trying the new dumplings and loved 🥰 the free onion 🧅 rings with purchase and enjoyed the GARLIC CIABATTA with cheese 🧀 and had a discounted Southern Ice 🧊 Tea for $12 instead of paying $20.90 and had couple of cheap drinks at happy hour before dinner as well . Thank you for your friendly service and good food 🙂.

Friday after works drinks, had a few nibbles which were nice and the gin cocktails which were very nice. A nice spot, with the exception of slow bar service, very loud with the DJ and sticky floors!

This was our first time here and the experience couldn’t be any better. The food was delicious and the waitress who served us had a lovely smile and took care of us amazingly. Despite busy and pumping, they constantly kept checking up on us and even helped us pick the best menu options. Will come back again !!

Great place for a quick lunch in the city. The “bar” on the ground floor is a pleasant, light area with the very high ceilings and huge windows of a bygone era. Food was much better than we expected. Service with a smile was polite, friendly and helpful. Impressed with the beef burger which was slightly pink in the centre as befits a gourmet burger and juicy, but without juices leaking messily everywhere. Fried chicken and chips were superbly deep fried leaving not a speck of oil on the greaseproof paper lining the serving basket.

10/10 interior, good value for money, minimal on floor presence of staff, however were very friendly. Food was tasy, well seasoned, extensive cocktail menu!

The ambience was great and it was nice and quiet for a business meeting. The food was really great! The steak was cooked well and loved the sides. Especially the roasted Brussels sprouts 😍 also the salmon starter. Will definitely come back here again. Thank you for your patience with our table.

I really liked this place — the staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. I’ll definitely consider coming back. P.S. The pork belly and chips are definitely worth trying!

Such a vibey place, the interior is lovely and the atmosphere is great. The music played by DJ was good. We utilised the 25% off shared plates and ordered a few plates for the three of us. The sweet and sour tofu and a good spicy kick to it which made it really flavourful. The pork belly was not overall sweet, had that nice stickiness from the sauce and cooked well so it fell off the kebab. The chips well salted and crispy. The kingfish ceviche was fresh and seasoned. Would come back here for the food as well as the drinks!

People may have their personal views on the upgrade, but I would like to comment on the fantastic staff that were on shift for Leo Sayer last night. I attended the concert in a full leg splint due to an injury, and the team, especially Jane , number 11, could not have been more accommodating. It's not only the venue and the artist that make for a great experience at a concert, the staff can definitely make or break it, and last night's team definitely ensured that I had a great night.

Best sound system out of any South Australian venue. I've never heard anything sound bad here. Staff are always friendly even when it's super busy. Seen an odd mix of performers - The Living end, Hanson, Vance Joy etc.

$8m upgrade. Are you serious? New toilets and another bar, extra parking,tick. Awful acoustics. Original plastic seating where you are crammed in like sardines. Theatre itself the same, albeit a coat of paint. No tiered seating. We couldn't see the show at all. 2000 people and no tiered seating. Are you kidding? You charge $130 per ticket for a show!!! If you pay that for a show at the Festival Theatre or Her Majesty's Theatre you get more comfortable seats which are tiered, great sound and clear vision of the stage. First and last visit for us. So many left at interval.

The seating is atrocious, luckily we were on the end of the row (row s) and we stood up against the wall to watch the show just before interval & again after interval. (Leo Sayer concert) Seating needs to be addressed. Trish

Just left the Leo Sayer concert, the concert was brilliant. Leo Sayer and band were magnificent. The seating was terrible, squashed in, couldn’t even sit back as no room between 2 men. No staggered seating made it almost impossible to see the stage. Very disappointed in the Thebarton theatre seating arrangements..

Attended opening night at Thebarton Theatre for Elvis Trilogy Show. Renovations are awesome apart from seating. Disgusting small plastic seats clamped together so you are sitting on each other's laps. I am disappointed I have already booked another two concerts as will again be very uncomfortable all night!

Music was great 👍 the seats were the most uncomfortable seats ever .. people over flowing into my seat either side they were that narrow.. Was like sitting on a concrete slab People were leaving at interval because they couldn't sit there any longer .. not sure what was renovated at the Thebby theatre but it sure as hell wasn't the seating

Yeh nah mah Old Paint took me to Willie’s on mah way home from bible study. Thought it would be a quiet hovel for a cowboy to have a glass-a-whisky. I heard music and a yee-hah’n, so I hitched mah steed to the post and pushed open the door. The saloon, full of Daisy Dukes in denim shorts with their thumbs in their belts dancing in line synchronicity, kickin and a-howlin, turned and stared as the music stopped and I stepped inside the bar. The place was packed to the rafters, so I shuffled passed JC (Johnny Cash) who was bouncing at the door, through the pack of cowgirl boots and smooth legs to the bar, where I ordered a drink as the music and dancing continued playing. It was hard to see through all the bouncing bodies but as I scanned the room I could see that there was a lot of Willie Nelson photos and other original country paraphernalia. There was a good amount of warm and coloured lighting, helping give authentic feels to the deer heads and dart boards amongst the pine dressed walls and timber stage and dance floor. The bar was lit like a Christmas tree, and behind the latino girls pouring drinks were shelves of assorted liquor, below Shotgun Willie merchandise T-shirts hanging from above. As more cowgirls packed in, my personal space began being impinged on, so taking my drink I ducked a few elbows and dodged a few kicks and scooted my way to the door where I took a seat out the front of High Spirits next door. If I weren’t committed to the Lord and was still walking in sin, I’d reckon I’d have enjoyed Thursday Boot Scootin Night at Shotgun Willie’s. It’s definitely a place I’d return to hopefully have a quiet drink with me Old Paint sometime.

Great little bar tucked away in the backstreets of Adelaide. Visited on a Sunday evening. Food was good, large portions. Stefano Hauk playing live. Worth a visit

First time here and we are wrapped. The cutest little American dive bar ever. Decor is so cool with the presence of all the original country music artists throughout and Live entertainment. Staff and service are great, and the atmosphere is awesome with patrons walking in in their cowboy hats and boots. Menu is true American style and I can highly recommend all of it. We tried a bit of everything and were not dissapointed. In love with this place and will definitely be back!

The bar is very nice, the service is friendly, but the organization is poor. It's very crowded because the place is very small. The band finishes playing early, so people get crazy, climbing onto the tables at 10 PM (a fairly early hour). If the band started playing a little later, there would be an opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere. They should have better control over the toilets ; a lot of people are using drugs in the toilets (nothing different from other bars in Adelaide).

The atmosphere here was amazing, and the music truly hit the spot for all the country music lovers in attendance.

An incredible venue; it's like stepping into the best man cave ever. The beer (Hefe) was great, and by great, not too hoppy. But you're going to enjoy the decor and atmosphere. Make the effort and visit soon 👍😁

This is such a COOL bar in the heart of the city! On a Sunday evening, there was an awesome bluegrass artists belting away on his guitar. Great beer and sensational wings. We had a sweet time on a Sunday evening

Great amusement in the heart of the city. Great friendly staff, extended hours for convenience. Great drinks deals. Parking is somewhat difficult with location.

My kids had heaps of fun here, it was only $12 per person for 2 adults, 2 kids (you have to enter a code at checkout). Pizza combo deal was $48 for 2 pizzas and large fries which was great value, $12 for gin spritzer cocktail. Kids had fun in the arcade too. It took me a long time to come here because I thought it would be really expensive but it was actually great value and a good place to come on a hot 38 deg day.

Went for the bottomless, had an amazing time!! This very lovely bartender Keziah took care of us! Excellent service, people and overall atmosphere.

Amazing venue, the gaming area upstairs is a great addition, drinks are good and the staff were awesome!

It was my first time playing mini golf with my family and it was the best experience ever! I’ve been here before for their food (highly recommend the nachos, hot honey pizza and burger) but I’ve always wondered where the golf area was! It was just tucked away upstairs 😆. Enjoyed the different movie themes it had per hole. Which you’d definitely enjoy if you’re a movie buff. The staff was really friendly as well! Highly recommend 🐣

First class customer service…Goes to Emily!!!! 🥇 There was a hiccup in the booking and she was so kind to offer another drink for the whole team. So nice of her and super duper friendly :) Thanks!

Spent well over a hundred dollars here just to wait over half hour to receive my drink after ordering it. The staff member was not in any hurry to get the drinks out. Then waited ten or so minutes for each hole, even when there is a booking system in place. Then on top of the whole night we played a hole where both our balls didnt come out the other side so we lost each others ball on the yellow course on the wonka hole. Will not not be be wasting money there due to our experience and won't be recommending it. I get that Saturday can be a busy night but the poor execution with the booking system and staff not caring how long they take it kinda a crappy experience

Good place to watch big and small gigs. Decent food and a PLENTY of space. This place has a mix of areas- ranging from the intimate small stage and living room type area to regular front bar to big dining area to concert venue for 700 people. Nice beer selection.

An amazing live music venue! La Bomba Latin Productions have been running our shows at The Gov since 1999 Our Salsa bands and Latin dance lovers have rated the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel as their fave Latin dance spot!

Fresh salads 🥗, amazing fish & chips 🐟🍟, and thin & crispy pizzas 🍕 that are totally worth it. Drinks are always cold and refreshing 🍹❄️. Super friendly staff 🤗 and a really sweet vibe ✨. Great food, live music 🎶, and fun performances 🎤 hands down the best pub in Adelaide

Fantastic venue with many different rooms to sneak off to. I went for a student expo but would love to go to a concert here.

First time visiting the Gov to eat, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I had a fantastic dinner and drinks. Gov had fabulous menu options (had a handmade pie for dinner wow!) and a thoroughly pleasant atmosphere. Waitress Amani was accommodating to all of our needs (complicated as they were) and helped us out above and beyond. Will visit again and stay for the music next time! Thank you team at the Gov.

Great pub for live music, food however is pretty average. We've eaten there a couple of times, but had dissapointing experiences when ordering a steak. Each time we've requested (med/rare) but we end up with dry well done pieces of meat. Even with replacement steaks, they still come out over done. Staff are cheerful and attentive, beers are cold, and the live music great. If you want a steak, give it a miss.

Caught Testament few weeks ago at the Gov. The sound was spot on and really brought the energy. Staff were super friendly, and the food hit the spot. Definitely recommend the chicken wings. Thrash metal and yummy food. can’t think of a better way to wrap up the weekend.

Quizz nights great, run in the beer garden. It was well run and great entertainment space. Service was good, however Food and drinks were a bit of a wait. Some occasions dishes are fantastic, others improvements could be made, ie. grilled fish & chip was terrible on an occasion. Feedback was given to when food sent back. No offer to rectify unfortunately so won’t order this dish in future! Will have to come back for quizz nights and to try the other dining spaces and extensive menu.

Food and environment are super good in our visit. Kids loved them! The only catch is kids were there for Wednesday wings promo but only got told that not all restaurants selling them and you cannot order take away on this item. Should be much clearer on the promotion message. We ended up dining at the Greenhouse Restaurant which has great food.

We love wing Wednesday! Fantastic atmosphere, considering how busy their food comes out really quickly. This has become our groups regular Wednesday night go to.

Nice clean place. Service was great, food was hit and miss. I expected a higher standard from the food, to reflect the high price. Probably won't go again.

I always ordered Haloumi fries and they were 4 large pieces with sour/sweet yoghurt or something which was very good. However on Wednesday I ordered the Haloumi and it came in 5 small pieces (like they cut 2 full ones in the middle) and this time the sauces were weird and didn't go with the Haloumi, they didn't add honey and not only that they also increased the price. Very disappointed. ☹️

A really nice pub with a great vibe & even better menu. The churasco mixed grill was amazing but next time I'd share it as it was way too much food for me. Not really a bad problem to have!

The Avos Smash was fresh and delicious, great coffee. The undercover patio area was a bit cold but understandable as it is winter, we sat under a heater so we were warm and comfortable.

The theater is good. Location is a bit tucked away. Kept well. Neat and clean. The cafe has quite a variety of Snacks, coffee & Juices. They serve wine too. Lots of good movies playing. There are around 12 Cinemas. Been here to see The movie...THE SUBSTANCE. On the whole a good experience 👌 ✨️ ☺️

I came here a couple of weeks ago to watch Death of a Unicorn before the Gather Round opening game. I honestly never knew this cinema was related to Cinema Nova in Melbourne. What even surprised me more is that this may be the only independent cinema with a Premium Large Format. (a cinema that isn't Hoyts or Event that has a PLF). Cinema 1 is named EXIMAX and it used to be an IMAX theatre, the screen is huge there. Besides the history, the place is quite nice, loved the French Jazz that was playing in the foyer, had nice atmosphere. The staff were helpful and the cinema was easy to navigate. The value is so good for students, 13 dollar tickets EVERYDAY for students is a steal, 13 dollars is the price of Cheap Tuesday tickets at Hoyts, Event and Village. 13-16 dollar tickets daily should be the norm for all cinemas depending on the experience as it brings loads of people to watch movies. Loads of people were in my theatre due to the extremely affordable tickets. The auditorium I was in was comfortable, but it could use an upgrade. The sound and screen quality was good. My only gripe with this cinema is that it's hard to find, no signs to follow and its tucked away behind very small laneways. But overall, it's a great cinema, very affordable and good value for students.

The floor is looking a bit worse for wear but the seats were good. I was in a smallish screen but it was still quite good and the audio was fine. Overall I would recommend it if you are in the city or if you are after a movie that is less mainstream or at the end of showing.

My go-to cinema to see new films! The bar staff are lovely and make good drinks. The popcorn is always fresh and delicious ☺️ The seats aren't the most comfortable but they have cup holders and the cinema has always been clean when I'm there. Prices are good here and if you're a regular movie-goer, they have a good membership plan for you to get great value too.

We had a private screening of The Substance to cap off a Halloween bus tour in 2024. We arrived fairly messy and left even messier however the professionals at The Palace took extremely good care of us. From the setup to the end - they were amazing. For a great price, I cannot recommend a private screening for you and your friends enough at Palace Nova. Thanks so much guys :)

Great movie but foyer is tired and struggling, needs a dynamic upgrade. Get rid of the old thread bare carpet go with a timber look flooring far easier to clean and maintain bench seating is hard and showing signs of the abuse it has been subjected to.

Cool cinema in a cool little alley area in the Adelaide Uni precinct. Great location and near the groovy Howling Owl bar serving gins and other beverages from SA. Also surrounded by jazz record, book and comic book stores.

I recently visited Alma Tavern. The portions were generous and definitely good value for the price, though I found the taste to be fairly average. The staff were attentive and helpful, which made the experience more enjoyable. The atmosphere is lively and quite noisy, with a classic pub feel — great if you’re after that kind of vibe. Overall, it’s a good spot for a hearty meal and friendly service, especially if you enjoy a busy pub atmosphere.

had a fantastic experience recently at the Alma, greeted by friendly staff members who looked after us the entire night, top quality dishes, large dining and entertainment bar area with TV for sports, specials Mon-Thu, this venue has everything covered for any occasion, bring your family or mates any day of the week, laid back relaxed dining or cheer on your footy team on weekends, The Alma Tavern checks all the boxes. *inv by IG:@natsmyfoodielife*

The new Chef at the Alma is outstanding, probably the best Lamb Shank I have ever had and I have had a few. Fell off the bone and paired with a nice wine, it was perfect. The staff were friendly and attentive. Thanks Alma..

We had the dumplings and whipped fetta for entrees (my husband particularly loved the homemade forcaccia), they were delightful and we would've been satisfied with these as our meal. We then had the Pork Loin and Marlin, which were cooked perfectly, both were moist ad delicious. Would go back again for the food.

Rocked up to the Alma for a feed and strewth, it’s like someone nicked a bit of heaven and parked it smack bang in Norwood. First up, the chicken wings, skin so crispy you could hear it crack from the other side of the pub. Golden, glistening, hugging the meat tighter than a bogan in a mosh pit at the Gov. Then that rhubarb chilli sauce kicks in, starts all sweet like a Farmers Union iced coffee, then whacks ya like a copper catching you doing a burnout down Cross Road. Prawn linguine rolled out next, fat juicy prawns tangled in pasta like they’d been netted down at Outer Harbor. Sauce was that rich I half expected it to start a bidding war at the Central Market. Had me making those little mmm noises that the oldies at the next table pretended they couldn’t hear. Then the big dog, the scotch fillet. Bloody oath. Thick, tender, dripping with juice, and crowned with spiced butter that melted slower than traffic on South Road. Chips on the side, perfect for mopping up all the steak juice when you reckon no one’s looking. The owners run the joint like pros, it’s got the vibe of a Sunday sesh down the Bay mixed with a Friday night at the footy. Leave here hungry and you need your head read. Next beer’s on you two legends, I’ll be back for it.

Absolutely amazing! Lovely decor, great dining spaces, awesome customer service. They come and take your order at your table! And when they bring the table.water (which is ice cold!) they pour the first glass for you! I ordered a Eggplant parmy and woodfire garlic bread, my friend ordered the 300gm sirloin steak. Meals are absolutely PHENOMENAL. Taste amazing. Garlic bread best ever on this planet. Will Absolutely be returning. Highly recommend. My friend words on the steak- it is to die for!

Last night we booked a table in the restaurant and it was a great meal. The area was table service which meant we didn’t have to line up. The area is nicely styled and the booth seats looked like a great spot for a date night. We had a table by the fire which was a good spot on a cold night. The food tasted great and was a decent serving size. I took half the curry home as I was too full from eating the garlic bread. Definitely recommend and would come back again. The desserts sounded so good I want to try them.

Had an amazing time here, the rooms were very detailed and I had so much fun doing the room. Bella took care of us and made this experience 10x better will definitely come back next time I’m in Adelaide ☺️

I recommend doing the hardest option for adults, it’s pretty fun, reasonable price. I think the timeframe given for the sessions are perfect. Easy to locate, staff are all very friendly, welcoming and professional. The room we chose was just enough for six adults, anymore would be too crowded I think, making it uncomfortable and in the way of each other.

I have the absolute best time at this escape room, it was challenging yet very clever. The staff were very supportive, specifically, Olly and Jack were fantastic from start to finish. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Our group did an outdoor adventure - Return to Wonderland - and had a great time :) Our game master, Bella, made us very welcome. The tasks were not too challenging - exactly what we needed that day! And we will definitely be back to try our hand at the other outdoor adventures.

Had an amazing time! It was my first escape room ever and I had so much fun. We did the Deadly Discovery and let’s say my brains were utilised very well ⭐️ Olly was amazing and so helpful the whole time. Definitely would be back for more 😁

We had an incredible time in the “The collectors curse” escape room — one of the best themed rooms we’ve ever done! From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported into a world of eerie enchantments, mysterious relics, and shadowy secrets. The puzzles were cleverly crafted and immersive, with just the right balance of challenge and excitement. Every detail in the room felt deliberate and atmospheric — from the lighting and props to the sound effects that gave us chills in the best way. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was our game master, Olly. From the very beginning, Olly set the tone with a perfect mix of humor, mystery, and energy. They were incredibly attentive and knew exactly when to step in with a nudge (without giving too much away). You could tell Olly was passionate about what they do, and it made the entire experience feel even more magical. If you’re looking for a room that’s spooky, story-rich, and genuinely fun, this is it — and if you’re lucky enough to get Olly as your game master, you’re in for a treat. We’re already planning to come back for another round of adventure!

We absolutely loved it ✨We might be too newbie and needed lots of hints but Jack was there to give us the best clue, the rooms are so well prepared and it wasn’t easy, fantastic way to do teamwork here We had a special occasion, last day of our friend before starting placement, classes will be boring but we have the escape hunt next to us, so we will definitely come here to challenge ourselves 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Went to Woolshed for a night out and had a really disappointing experience. One of our friends (Indian guy, visiting from Sydney) was refused entry because the bouncer called his Tommy Hilfiger jacket a “Sports” jacket. It was just a regular one with a small logo. He even took it off, but was still told, “Once you’re refused, you’re banned for 24 hours.” Meanwhile, others in much more casual clothes were let in without an issue. Funny how this “rule” seems to show up selectively. Judging by other reviews, this place seems to treat certain ethnicities differently. At this rate, even Armani would be labelled gym wear. We had already been waiting a long time, and after all that, the whole group had to leave. Woolshed clearly isn’t the place for everyone. Won’t be back.

The street girls are so cute and friendly! and the girls on the barbecue are always super sweet, sausage is always done right. good job keep it up girls xx

Was just horrid. Never again. The people are so violent and needlessly aggressive. The security and bar staff trying their best to counter this but they are losing an impossible battle. Appreciate the effort guys but until the people that attend change their attitudes I will not be returning

the staff are so good, always making sure your having a fun time. great music and the managers are super dope

Thank you Nicole. You usually work behind the bar but tonight you saved my life. You gave me a signage. Your sausage gave me life, your sausage gave me life, the sausage you gave me for free from the barbecue was yummy and yummt

Friendly bar staff, great vibe. Had some of the best nights by ending my night here and riding the bull.

Love this place. A girl named Crystal served me, she was so fast and my drinks were amazing!

Enjoyed the cruise & commentary. We booked 10am & that worked well with then fitting in other things for the day. Booking was easy & instructions worked well. I enjoyed the old photos. Getting off at the zoo worked well as we walked back through the Botanical Park & Gardens. Adelaide put on a beautiful day too. Thank-you! Captain following swans was a hit too as l we come up from Melbourne to see swans!

Fantastic experience not only for my grandchildren but also for the adults aboard the river cruise. The “Captain” was terrific - absolutely across the history and current news of the area. I learnt so much about my own “backyard” as did the children. The crew were extremely personable yet professional, funny and entertaining. The Captain kept all aboard totally engaged throughout the 45 minute tour. My seven year old grandson wanted to join the following cruise to go again! We will definitely be buying vouchers as gifts for friends and family. A classic example of forgetting what we have in our own backyard. It made me proud to be a South Australian! Congratulations on a premium tourism experience (I used to be an Australian Tourism Awards judge in a past life so I can say that!). Have to give the nearby Home Ground cafe/restaurant a big shout out too for great coffee and al fresco lunch after the cruise. Thank you for making the day such a memorable experience for my grandchildren and me!

I had a beautiful time on this river cruise! Sam and Anastasia were very friendly and passionate about informing guests about Adelaide and its history. We got to get off at the zoo and botanic gardens and get picked up later in the day. Highly recommend!

What a great little morning cruise this was (Devonshire Tea option included). The 45mins doesn’t seem long, but in that time “the captain” dishes out in a typical Aussie fashion the history of Adelaide from the perspective of the river, and the story behind Popeye the boat. It’s really quite like going back into time to small cruises with locals running the show. The staff were great - the Devonshire tea huge (2 massive scones, heaps of cream and jam plus a coffee/tea), and just a pleasant way to learn more about the city. (You can tell that the “captain” giving the commentary loves his city!)

It was a nice little trip on the Torrens River - with Skipper James who had lots of information about the city and the adjacent river sights. It was interesting and something diffrent for 45min spending time on the water in Adelaide. Thx

Booked a Popeye River cruise through GetYourGuide and was not disappointed. Although the cruise is brief with 40 ish minutes ($26 pp) we enjoyed it a lot. It provides a good insight for people who haven’t seen anything of Adelaide yet. The boat was really cute and the 2 man crew was very lovely. I believe we had captain Sam and helping hand Flynn in charge of us. We loved the commentary and the jokes from the captain. There is a bar on board to purchase snacks and drinks from. We had absolutely stunning weather for our cruise. People did not have to have pre purchased tickets; it is also possible to purchase tickets on site where the boat docks at Elder Park. Many thanks for the lovely tour 🛥️🌊

We did the Kangaroo Island Spirits trip yesterday and it was fantastic! Jamie our host was engaging and very informative. Finn was on the ball and helped to serve us our drinks. Captain Sam was lovely and tooted the horn to all the passersby! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with friends.

I’d love to offer a great review, but … Sign out the front at lunchtime advertised daily specials and live music at might. Four hours later, after arranging to meet friends here, sign was gone, doors were locked. No replacement signage to indicate what’s going on. Treat customers with contempt, they won’t bother coming back.

Had dinner, drinks and a fringe show. Schnitzel night for $10.90 is a bargain but the beef schnitzel looked a little shriveled and was very dry. Can't complain too much for such a cheap price though. Unfortunately I was let down by the service at the bar. Ordered a jug of soft drink with "not too much ice". She put in plenty of ice but only filled it to an inch below the line. When I questioned it she said the ice is meant to make up the difference. This is the first hotel that has ever said that. Postmix is so cheap, why would you be so stingy? $14 for a jug of soft drink is on the higher side too.

Edit, new menu/price hike as of late-2024. No more $10.90 specials. Their schnitzels (Monday and Wednesday) come with chips, salad and sauce, and their salt and pepper squid (Thursdays) taste really good!

Me and my partner were customers last night and we were very happy with the service that we got from Jordan last night he was absolutely fantastic looking after us with our drink requests and making us absolutely fantastic cocktails we will definitely be back and will have to check out the other venues as well as he highly recommended those to

I love coming here to play pool. It’s a great pub and does cheap drinks at happy hour.

Considering I was the only table in the pub that had ordered food, I was surprised how long my food was taking. When it eventually arrived, both burger and chips were lukewarm. Seems like staff forgot to bring it when it was ready. Think I’ll steer clear of this place in future

No frill pub. We attended a private event upstairs. Well serviced with bar and staff catering to the night.

There was a sort of ante room with a gallery but this is not the gig room. It is adjacent through sliding barn doors. There is a little seating towards the sides but mainly it's a largish flat room with just the stage. Nice room really for a gig, but being tall is a bonus (unfortunately not for those behind you!)

One of the best venues in Adelaide for heavy music, a large room with a busy bar and a nice little beer garden out the back. I've seen 3 of my favourite bands of all time there and never been disappointed.

Seen an international DJ last night here and I have to say one of the worst venues I have ever been to. The smell comming from the toilets was horrendous, broken toilet seats, no toilet seats and blocked toilets. Only 5 female toilets for 500 people! Huge line ups. Extremely hot with no ventilation inside. Empty drink cups everywhere all over the tables never saw staff picking them up though the night. Cheap watered down vodka at $11 a drink. There was a horrible noise outside near the toilets which made having a quite moment in the smoking area unberiable too. Thankgod the DJs made up for it with awesome sets. I rarely write reviews and Im not a "karen" but feedback needs to be given. I had been told by others that it was a terrible venue but never would I have guessed it was this bad.

One of the best venues for music lovers. You next function or party can be here

I attended an event held here last night. Music and venue were amazing. Bartenders were horrible, judgmental and gossipy throughout the night to the attendees. To me and others that I overheard. Huge disappointment there. Toilets were beyond disgusting. The floor in the men’s bathroom completely sticky for the amount of piss, drinks 11-15 dollars for watered down vodka carelessly nudged in your direction. The whole outdoor area reeked due to the bathrooms. Music there was probably the only redeemable quality, would not recommend

Bar and Bar staff are great. Sound guy. Not great and I can say that with experience as a sound guy. Slow on the upkeep ruined the mics of Peep Temple for at least 3 songs.

Small and intimate place to enjoy concerts of your artists. The sound system was great, not too loud, and had no distortion. The stage can be seen from any angle without disruption. Furthermore, there is another section in front of the main bar where you can partly see the stage with the provision of tables and sofas. In addition, there is a beer garden, and you can go outside to smoke throughout the performance. The bar has general wines, spirits, and some tap beers. I dont think there is an extensive list, but anything you need in basic level.

Not too bad a spot👍 trendy bar and setting, couple of rooms/areas to choose from & best views are the slimline rooftop area for a quiet drink & fees overlooking the city facing east. Trendy bar means trendy pricing (expensive) but id still drop past again

Enjoyed a few drink up there on a perfect evening. I had booked but didn’t love the table near the loo so wandered outside. Bar staff were excellent and some appear on Hazels insta feed.

This place has an enchanting atmosphere with dim lighting and cozy seating indoors and outdoors ✨💫The bartenders are mixology wizards, crafting delicious and creative cocktails that will leave you wanting more. 🧙🧙The stunning panoramic views of the city skyline 🏙️ add an extra touch of magic to the experience. It's the ideal spot to sip on cocktails, enjoy the company of your special someone, and soak in the romantic ambiance. Cheers to unforgettable nights at this rooftop gem! 🍹❤️

We had Hazel serve us in the rooftop bar and my gosh, she was so kind and polite. Drinks were amazing! Thanks Hazel

Hennessy Bar is a standout destination for those who appreciate class with a view. It’s not just a bar, but an experience. While the food and drinks are satisfactory, it's the ambiance that makes your visit worth it.

This is an absolutely stunning rooftop bar. The moment the elevator doors open you are instantly greeted with exceptional service and an aesthetically pleasing view. Well looked after interior and exterior providing guests with a superior experience, I definitely will be staying at the Mayfair hotel again to experience this once more!

The staff here were honestly fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and really on top of things. I have zero complaints about the service. But the food? Absolutely terrible. We ordered pizzas and couldn’t believe what we were served. They were undercooked, floppy, and just straight-up gross. And the kicker? $26 for what was clearly a frozen margarita pizza, the kind you’d grab from Aldi’s Special Buys section. I’m not even joking. Coles or Woolies home brand would’ve been a serious upgrade. So if you’re just after a drink, sure, this place is fine. But if you're even thinking about ordering food, don’t. Try GYG down the road. Their nacho fries are top notch.

Came here for a kids birthday party and over all great. Great facilities. Staff are very good.

Great party venue! Lots to do in all different areas of the venue, staff were friendly and happy to answer any questions, communication was great! Kids had an absolute blast! Would definatley book again and will recommend. Parking is great, affordable pricing and our party host Jett was lovely and did an excellent job of slicing the cake and making sure all the kids got the requested character off the top of the cake! 😂

We used to absolutely love coming to AFL Max before the renovations. It had such a great mix of activities the trampoline section, the rock climbing walls with harnesses (the kids loved climbing to the very top and then flying down), the big slide, the kicking space with the interactive screen, and just the extra room to play. It was always a favourite spot for our family. Since the renovations, though, the experience has really changed. With the trampolines, the harnessed climbing walls, and the slide removed, there’s not as much variety anymore. The new climbing wall without harnesses and the air pillar to jump onto just don’t keep the kids entertained in the same way, and the space feels smaller and more crowded. While we appreciate the new padded play area upstairs for babies, our older kids actually found that more fun than the activities designed for them which was surprising. We understand changes happen with renovations, but unfortunately, it doesn’t have the same excitement or range of activities that it once had. The kids now get bored quickly, and it no longer feels like the special place it used to be for us. Sadly, we won’t be coming back anymore, which is really disappointing given how much we used to enjoy AFL Max.

My son had his 8th birthday here yesterday on 29/6! Staff were amazing! Lots of fun activities! Money well spent in my opinion!

Changes are for the worse, same price yet half the experience, they’ve removed all my sons favourite bits, the rock climbing, web play area gone - trampoline area section off from GA? They’ve added an obstacle course but it’s very basic, seems tailored to 5 and under maybe? No longer appeals to a 7yo unless you want to just kick the ball

Super cool facility! Great for all ages & yes us dads got in there and had sone great fun (paying for it today with soreness). Rock climbing walls, trampolines, tramp pillow, soccer pitch, football arena, inflatable section, party rooms, kitchen & beverages including beers🍻 plus some great merchandise👍 Kids want to go again today.... Very busy place so advise to book in We will be back again for sure 5⭐

100% recommended for kids birthdays! If you want a fuss free birthday for your child and their friends, this place is going to provide a seamless, very well organized experience and the children will love it!

We had our sons first birthday party here. They allowed out side catering for lunch and we were able to have soft play inside near the fish tank. There is no hire fee or booking fee for the venue that was required. Sophie was amazing to work with with booking the space last minute. We also had an open bar tab to what suited our budget. I wish I found this place earlier.

Had a 22nd birthday party here over the weekend, food was a little expensive but didn't disappoint us! Had an area for 35 guests booked in the fish tank area, we were given a small seated area that fitted around 10 of us, we were the furthest away from the fish tank. I was responsible for the cake and I was never told they didn't supply plates or napkins to serve. If you are gonna be advertising to have birthday, engagements and other events at the venue it should be made clear to bring your own cake supplies.

My husband and I recently celebrated a joint 60th at Atlantis Lounge in their private function room. We had over 100 guests and the space was perfect. Lots of seating, tables and huge dance floor area. We had a guitarist and the venue even supplied a small stage . The venue had Tv screens that we could have a photo slide show. We arranged platters of food which were all delicious. Sofie and James were a pleasure to deal with and staff on the night were fabulous. All our guests commented on what a fabulous venue Atlantis was. Looking forward to celebrating our 70th there !! Thanks again. Karen and Graeme

i booked a booth for my birthday on the weekend. had a great time, good drinks. great dj. however at 12am everyone was kicked out due to it closing although on the website and from last experiences they don’t normally close till much later so it was a bit disappointing

The fishes from the aquarium has to be release. They are too big for this aquarium also this is not the proper environment for them with a loud music The tap beer is horrible and drink pretty expensive.

The music at the bar was way too loud, making it hard to have a conversation. On top of that, the songs they played were really tacky — definitely not going back again.

All this drama on the news, just from one silly lady. She says the music is too loud for the fish. Those fish are fine they have been there for years with out any problems. If they were so stressed they would be dead by now but they’re not as they’re completely fine. All the pacu, retails, hybrid shovel noise and bass are just fine as she said on the news there’s some fish that are completely still then they go on and swim that’s what retails do. It’s normal, there’s nothing wrong here, she just waisting her time and the business owners time over nothing. There’s more damage right now in our oceans right now than worrying about a single fish tank. That’s not doing any damage to the fish. Keep up the good work james. Just feel bad for as there’s so many un educated people writing bad reviews as they have no idea about fish.

Nice bar with friendly staff, coupled with great wines. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly and professional staff. The bar has a rooftop area, but our preference for the night was to sit downstairs at the bar; soft lighting, comfortable seating, and cool decorations.

Flew in from Perth today and this is our first bar of the trip. The cocktails and wine selections are amazing. If all Adelaide bars are like this, we might not leave.

Proof is one of Adelaide's best hidden gem wine bars, up there with Rascals. The vibes are immaculate, and warm, and the service is so friendly. Proof is the perfect place if you're looking for somewhere hidden away from the chaos of Adelaide's nightlife hotspots. It is the perfect place to start a night out.

Such an amazing wine bar with the most perfect collection. We came here for date night and were floored by the presentation. Amazing choices, great atmosphere and a sophisticated environment - a must visit

I had the most amazing night laughing and getting served good drinks. Ciara and Ella were in the team behind the revolutionary experience of learning about digestives at the end of a night of eating. Forever grateful for the experience and highly recommend this bar.

Cosy little two storey joint with a bijou outdoor area is a fantastic city cocktail, beer and wine joint. I visited on a Friday arvo and the place was very busy at 5pm. Would definitely recommend this place for a quick bevvy or an afternoon sesh to head into the wee hours.

Offering a concise wine list, skilled bartenders capable and willing to throw together even the most obscure of cocktails (or a Penicillin in my case), and with a relaxed atmosphere, Proof Bar is the perfect spot for a late-night tipple. Highly recommend.

It is definitely a lot more welcoming with its refurbishment. It looks far more open and less gloomy. The service has also improved with welcoming smiles and thankyous on departure. I had the southern chicken and while the serving size is great it was a little too spicy and herby. I would still stop by for another visit though

Dark, dank and dingy. Food is fairly good. Sometimes that’s what you want from a pub. Toilets are a bit of a walk though...pity. —— December 2019 update. Stopped by with the kids and have to say they have decent sized kids meals. Food is pretty good here. Also have improved draft beer selection and customer/bar service was great. Love that carlsberg. Upgraded from 3 to 4 stars. 👍

Ok meal, staff friendly enough. Quick lunch. Check out the daily specials

I come here often. They have daily specials. Tasty, quick and comfortable.

Really cheap drinks and extremely helpful staff. Young crowd as the night went on. Overall a good Friday night.

Fast friendly service. Meals are good values, especially the daily offers.

Who could resist free entry, $3 vodkas between 8-10pm and $5 vodkas 10pm til close! Union entry we had our IDs checked 😆 being over 40, bless you... I was "only 2mths older than security" I haven't been here in nearly 20yrs, it used to be the place to be and it was a beautiful well maintained posh after work club filled with well dressed people where you would start your night. It was disappointing to see the renovation. Instantly extremely filthy, sticky and uninviting floors which would easily ruin good open shoes. Bar staff were extremely friendly, quick you were served straight away and more staff popped out if you were waiting. The DJ was just straight up BAD. They were vaping all night long, jumping and the entire set up was shaking. They handed out the microphone to heavily intoxicated people which just sounded like 2 yr old was screaming karaoke, it was awful.. the mix up and mashes were at an awful beat, which sounded like a 2yrold switching radio stations instead of a live DJ. It sitting at approx 100bpm which is incredibly hard to dance too and sped up to still only a very slow 125bpm (average being 128-132bpm 32 count). I couldn't work out why it sounded so off and realised that the inexperience of the young DJ was trying to mash already mixed songs which ended splicing up to 10 different songs into a set which should only have 4. So instead of having the first running, second bought over the top blend into the next double pairing all shortened and mixed, it was 2 Mixes spliced which were all odd beats overlapping making it EXTREMELY had to dance to and at most you got less than 45sec of dance to the same beat. In the end 3 of the 4 of us just couldn't handle another moment of listening to it. I suggest the young kid to have a good listen to Darley Jefferson and tidy his set up. If it wasn't for the nice bar staff and cheap drinks without a doubt we would have just walked out like the majority of patrons. Most stayed less than 15mins before walking straight back out. The amount of young girls without shoes on was so bad, lucky there was no glass, but I have NEVER been in a club with the dance floor that was mopped atleast 6 times because of the amount of spilt drinks. Purely on staff and specials, I'd go again and try, but if the same DJ was on without changing, we wouldn't stay long and would more than likely head across to the casino instead. Luckily good company saved the night and we were still able to let our hair out and have a good night.

Had a wonderful day for a kids party. Super friendly and helpful staff who demonstrated facilities for us and always had a smile on their face. Went out of their way to be friendly. Wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend.

Minigolf was good fun with the kids - some of the courses looked simple but we're actually annoyingly challenging! The food was above average and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. Nothing was an issue. Overall we spent about $100 for a 2+ hour outing with the kids, including lunch.

12:28 18/05/25 I haven’t entered yet but I did just do a call up and Neil gave me fantastic customer service broke down what the cost was for each package deal, how much it would be per head down to what’s more preferable booking vs walk-in, he is extremely knowledgeable and anything he didn’t know he looked up straight away didn’t pass me on anybody else and did his job very professionally. “I’ll add more later”

Great place to work on your swing with data feedback, or just have a hit and a few drinks with friends. Friendly staff, great menu with plenty of vegetarian options, and well priced drinks.

Excellent service, exceptional and friendly staff. We played the mini golf it was a fun and great course

Bit of fun and a laugh with mates. The staff were brilliant. Often came round and had a chat and gave some pointers.

Good after-work session. Cool place to hangout and test your skills of golf. Nice atmosphere, similar to a pool hall. Can order food and there are a variety of drinks to choose from. Darts are also an option. Fun time.

Great little cocktail bar! Didn't try any food, but the cocktails were fantastic and very reasonably priced, service was excellent and had a great vibe.

My husband and i absolutely LOVED this place and has become our new found weekly drinking spot! They have the BEST alcohol drinks and don’t get me started on there cocktails, ‘WOW! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Also check out the new menu with yummy, delicious hot side food, DELICIOUS! All I can say is the drinks, food, service and atmosphere is outstanding and a place you need to experience :)

I hosted my best friend's hens party at El Cheeky Flamingo, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the night special. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, the food was incredible and the cocktails were next-level. They were super accommodating with our group and made sure everything ran smoothly. My best friend had the best time, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. Organising the event was super easy and stress free. Rachel the events coordinator was on the ball and responded to emails super quick! Jarrod the bar manager was very accommodating, flexible and was willing to go with the flow of the night. I'm so keen to go back just for a couple of drinks and some arancini balls (the 4 cheese ones were AMAZING). I don't drink very often either but ended up having 3 Flamingo Colada cocktails! I highly recommend this place for any special event—you won’t be disappointed!

We had possibly the worst experience at El Cheeky Flamingo. After booking the venue months in advance for 7pm, we arrived and they firstly said we were supposed to be in at 9:30 and later said they had us booked for another weekend, despite us having the booking confirmation. They did the bare minimum to pull some tables together for us, but then proceeded to be incredibly rude for the remainder of our stay. Two staff stood near our table the entire time, whispering, staring and complaining about us. They threatened to kick us out because we had a large group which threatened their outdoor liquor license, despite their error and the fact we had booked inside. Further to this, they blamed us for the mistake and told every potential customer that came by that ‘we rocked up when we were supposed to’, despite us having our booking confirmation. Although bar staff were lovely, we will not be returning to this venue and encourage you to also take your business elsewhere also.

Staff booked us at the wrong time and then blamed us for the error. They moved us outside and then threatened to kick us out for having more people than we requested which was untrue. We further overheard staff complain about us to other costumers stating that it was our fault for coming at the wrong time and was the reason that they couldn’t seat other costumers. One of the female managers was also very passive aggressive towards our party. Will not be coming again. Sadly bar staff were lovely.

Funky place to catch up with friends for a drink! Loving the colours and walls of Pink Flamingos, booth seating or bar stools. The food menu is limited but enough to enjoy with the great gins & rum drinks on offer. Staff are always happy and flamboyant!

I love this place. We are going to be regulars for sure

Worst venue I’ve ever been in Adelaide! We organised a Brazilian party and the staff which was very incompetent sold tickets at the door without checking with the promotor of the party! long short story, we ended up staying outside, under the rain, because they sold too many tickets and people that had tickets couldn’t get in! I don’t recommend this place not even for my enemy :)

One of the best bars/clubs in Adelaide. Quirky to the max in the best possible way, great events, friendly staff, affordable drinks, great vibes and crowds always.

Ancient world is by far one of the best clubs in Adelaide. If you are a fan of electronic music, love to dance, and want to support local djs and producers, this is the place to be. The music genres at Ancient World can be quite diverse, so I recommend have a look at the socials ahead of time. It generally all falls under the electronic umbrella, but this is incredibly broad, and each night is always different. If you find a night with music that you love, there is no better atmosphere in Adelaide. The crowd is perfect. Perfect. And the staff, perfect. Everyone is friendly, everyone is respectful, everyone is unapologetically themselves, and everyone is there for a good time. The dance floor on a good night is one of the, if not the best in Adelaide. It's very hard to describe, but the best I can do is that nothing and nobody feels performative here. Everyone is just there to have a good time, and everyone is there for their love of the music and the community. Some people might find the vibe a little 'out there' compared to the other clubs for electronic music in Adelaide. I would describe it as more of an alternative vibe, with strong queer energy as well. Whether that's your vibe is up to you. All in all, would recommend to anyone who hasn't been. It's places like this that make it hard to believe people say Adelaide doesn't have a good music scene.

Be careful standing too close to people of another group when the RSA Marshalls won’t get rid of loud people. Guy was yelling up at the stage and the guy in the skirt kicked my group out who had nothing to do with the other group Weirdddd

Great shot choice alcohol is kinda expensive though and Karoke is fun

Super cozy amazing nightlife spot run by local artists! A variety of fantastic music ranging from DJs to live bands every week, with karaoke on Wednesdays. You'll always hear music here that you won't get to hear in the more mainstream clubs on Hindley, check out their Facebook page to see what's on if you're curious. Friendly and warm staff who are passionate about the venue and cultivating a safe space for all. Fireplace, chess board and live microscope for your enjoyment. LGBTIQA+ friendly. 🏳️‍🌈 Vibrant and unique art throughout the venue. Features a beer garden on ground level and the main bar/dancefloor space is underground. The vibes at Ancient World are unmatched! It's noice, it's different, its unusual. 🤩

Interesting little underground bar and venue. Heading down Conrad Lane to get there feels like you're being sent into an ambush, but you're not! It's lovely to find a friendly alternative place tucked away in the heart of the city. A friend who works in the city plans to make it her regular!

I do t go there for the night club experience, but for the band's they get. I enjoy it...easy to move it around as they don't over pack the venue. Security I've found to be doing their job. Looking after people. Bring on the next gig!!

Across the 5 floors, the $10 before 10pm or $20 after entry is worth every cent. Great music and djs and fantastic lighting!! Love this place! ()

Went there for a Friday lunch with my work colleagues (14 of us). Reasonably busy for a Friday lunch but there were free tables everywhere - but only 1 person on the bar, 1 at the coffee bar, 1 or 2 on the floor; it was an absolute mishmash. We were just told that long table was ours, after waiting 5 minutes. We never had any table service; we went and ordered at the bar as I assumed you got table service because another table had someone at their table 15 minutes later. Anyway! Food was average at best. Lamb + pumpkin salad was meant to be spicy - there was no spice and the meat was all fatty. Dressing was so/so. Saving grace: arancini balls. They're great!

Me and my friends paid $20/head to go into a dead club on a Saturday. Asked for a refund after being inside for all of 5mins and after some very confused looks from the staff got told "this is a club....go on Facebook to get that". There are many nicer places to go that won't charge for a dead venue......make the smart decision people.

Not a great venue for a band like Simple Plan! But they were amazing

Wow it was so quiet in here at 6pm. What a beautiful vibe however. Waitress was helpful and informative. My partner had beef nachos and I had vegetarian. Best nachos I've ever had in over 40 years, ate the lot which i have never done. Go check it out. Close to Rundle Mall. You won't be disappointed.

Went here for a colleagues final day at work, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We ate at lunchtime, and everyone was happy with the meal they received. Pricing wasn't at a point that you would attend on any regular day, but for this kind of occasion it was great.

One of the clubs in Adelaide with good DJs. Mainly 20-30 age range tho. Service is good. Music is nice and you can dance with!

Nice vibe with cocktails and drinks!!! The owner/ manager was friendly but others were quiet…. Slow service as well. Seemed like there was a group and one small pizza oven wasn’t coping with many orders on Saturday night. Perhaps that’s what they are trying to do - we drank much more than usual, while waiting our food comes out. The woodfire oven makes their pizza nice but the dough wasn’t the best, too chewy for me. Also they were making pizza on the street without facilities for the pizza maker to wash their hands…. So I’m not sure how it would work… hopefully they change gloves often. I’d go back for drink perhaps! Just nice vibe and good time.

Absolutely disgraceful. On Saturday night I came to plain Jane with a group of five friends. We waited over an hour in line to be let upstairs to go onto the main dance floor. The security guard was refusing to let anyone in the general line to be let up stairs and when I asked him twice how long the wait will be, he told me he didn’t know and was extremely rude and dismissive. Many people came down stairs so there definitely was room for us to go up and yet he still did not let anyone for the general line go up. He did however let anyone with a wristband or girls he liked up stairs (without a wristband). This was completely unfair as we had waited so long and had wasted majority of our night waiting. I have been to plain Jane many times before and I am honestly disgusted with what i experienced Saturday night. Other people in the line were equally disappointed and confused and I hope you’ve lost heaps of customers as a result. There was no reason why we had to wait as long as we did and I hope for future customers you at least give them the courtesy and tell them that people with wristbands will be prioritised over them so they don’t have to waste their time. Oh and it’s nice to see as well the security guards all letting in underage girls and flirting with them, it’s reassuring to see them really focused on their job and to reiterate the fact that they are all creeps, looks amazing for business. Please do better for future customers.

I didn't know this place did breakfast until 2 weeks after it was open. It's a secret that needs to get out! The breakfast, first class, the coffee is good and the service 2nd to none. All in all, everything I want first thing in the morning. They have turned me into a regular. Check it out! Oh! Lorry is a star!!

Went for drinks on a Friday night and I must say, the DJ was killing it. All musics were nicely done making us all dance like there is no tomorrow. The drinks were fine, I ordered the special cocktail (as per picture) but the bartender (I assume he's new) made it way too bland - it tasted like ice water. Tonic was a bit off as well on a G&T. Good overall, would come back for the dance floor.

A stunning bar/restaurant in Leigh St. Everything we ordered was amazing. Great looking place with a cool vibe. Can get a little noisy. Service was quite slow. I would definitely return as the food was great!

Pretty decent overall. There is a outdoor area, front bar and a upstairs bar with a dance floor. The tunes were decent and the atmosphere was good. I tried to dance on the stage as I saw 2 other random girls doing the same but was denied? Seems like they pick and choose but I do enjoy my time here and been back a couple times.

Al Ru Farm is timeless. From blooming gardens to antique interiors, there’s inspiration in every corner. I’m always amazed at how different each wedding feels here—it’s so beautifully adaptable. A photographer’s dream.

Beautiful venue, has great accommodation too. I stayed there on the night before my wedding and the night of. We had family stay in the other two rooms. Lot's of great places for photos and the barn is already so pretty with the mirrors that we didn't need much extra decoration. The team was super helpful throughout the whole lead up to the day and the day of! (Images by Run Wild Photography)

Karl and I had our wedding at Al Ru Farm on the 8th of November 2024. It truly was a magical day and could not have asked for a more beautiful venue. Karl and I booked in the venue over a year and a half before our date, and one of the reasons we chose it was because of Ruth. Her passion for the garden and property was obvious, and we just loved her and Allan’s story. She made us feel welcome and gave us tips to make our day even more beautiful. As wedding venues go we also thought the price was very reasonable, loved we could store our own alcohol and drinks, and the caterer and food was absolutely fantastic! Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you to the whole team at Al Ru for making our day an unforgettable one!

Thank you for a wonderful day for my daughter's wedding , Nikki and Christian. The venue was amazing ,as was the staff from catering, to wedding planners. Special thanks to the Barman on the night, great service.

Just got married here, cannot fault the venue or staff. Beautiful people, beautiful garden and so very accommodating. We have had such a nice time visiting, planning and the wedding was stunning. I could write a poem just about the sausage rolls haha. Food was great, everyone loved the arancini balls and the feast. The owners are super involved and want you to have a great time, the staff were incredible from Tobi, Mardi and Robbie. We're so happy we chose this venue.

The most beautiful venue, like being in a fairytale. Everyone was so wonderful to deal with and very accommodating with our requests for our big day. We look forward to returning.

Cute place for a wedding. Lots of parking and the catering crew were lovely

Terrible experience – extremely rude staff and security I had one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. The security and staff were shockingly rude and unprofessional. Instead of creating a safe and welcoming environment, they acted with aggression, arrogance, and complete disrespect toward customers. I was treated with zero courtesy, and when I tried to calmly address the situation, I was met with dismissive and hostile behavior. It’s absolutely unacceptable for any establishment to allow this kind of attitude from its employees. I left feeling angry and disrespected. I will never return, and I strongly advise others to avoid this place if you expect to be treated like a human being.

Waited for 40minutes to be told not tonight denied entry no reason why Second time I tried to go here denied entry again for tattoo sleeves showing 3rd time denied entry for small neck tattoo I have for my sister that passed away. I don’t know if it’s discrimination as a friend had half slave tattoo showing and was able to get in. But also door girl and guards were absolutely rude!!!! I would not recommend anyone to go here at all!

This is why aussies love to party in bali. Everyone is nice and clear. No bs waiting for 30 mins just to get in. “I can’t let you in” she said to my friend. “Why?” I said “Dresscode” “What? what’s wrong?” “Doesn’t matter. Read the list” What kind of answer is that? Gotta ask a security guard where I could read the policy for dress code and he asked me if the girl at the front refused my friend for entry. And he told me to look it up at the website. Guess I still prefer partying back home in bali. Maybe I’m not used to this Australian “hospitality” Like we were staying at a nearby hotel and could have changed if she would’ve just let us know what’s wrong with what we’re wearing.

You can't even throw up in the toilet anymore without security banging on the door and saying "get out" with no other explanation. It's a nightclub. The security is extremely rude and the short bald guy literally does everything EXCEPT his job.

The nightclub refused to let me in just because I had a braid. It felt unfair and honestly discriminatory. A hairstyle shouldn’t determine whether you’re welcome or not.

Damn - paid $25 to get in, only to be kicked out for being "too drunk" mind you, as a 20-year-old woman ALONE as I couldn't find my friends and was being touched up by some random dude. Despite being labelled "too drunk" the security guards were more than happy to leave me inebriated and alone in an alley way without checking if I had someone or somewhere to go to. My safety was the absolute LEAST of their concerns.

Joshua was the best servicer, we love him and other tho he smelt like cheese

Brilliant experience on a warm Sunday autumn lunchtime with family and friends to celebrate a birthday. We loved it and highly recommend to others.

This was a fun, relaxing experience on a beautiful day. The male attendant was perky and happy. Our electric motor died once on us and it had to be replaced but was fast and not too much of an inconvenience. We cooked our food but id recommend bringing or ordering platter food as cooking took too much time. I'd definitely do it again.

We brought our own food for BBQ, had a great afternoon and experience.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday on a boat, and while the experience had its enjoyable moments, there were a few issues that made it less than ideal. First, we originally booked for 4:00 PM, but just an hour before departure, we received a call asking us to either cancel or reschedule for 7:00 PM. This was quite inconvenient, as we had to contact all our friends to inform them of the last-minute change. Fortunately, they were all able to adjust their plans. During the trip, we encountered a problem with the motor, which nearly caused us to get soaked by a nearby waterfall. Additionally, the beverages we had purchased were placed too deep inside the fridge, making them difficult to find, so we weren’t able to enjoy them. For those considering renting a boat, here are a few things to keep in mind: Daytime trips are better. At night, visibility is very limited—while the city lights are beautiful, you miss out on the sunset and scenic views. Opt for a platter instead of a BBQ. Cooking takes up too much time, which means you end up focusing more on preparing food than enjoying the experience. Having two drivers is ideal. If there’s only one, they have to stay focused on navigating the boat and can’t fully engage with everyone. Bring your own BBQ utensils and kitchen towels. The boat didn’t provide enough, so it’s best to come prepared. Overall, while we had a nice time, better organization and amenities would have made the experience much smoother.

What a bloody brilliant time! Hiring a BBQ Buoy is an absolute ripper of an idea. Grilling your own feed on the river is just the best. So much fun with your mates. A true blue Aussie experience!

Staff were friendly and gave full briefing on how to control the bby buoy. You can chug up and down the most scenic parts of the river and see iconic sights. Drinks must be pre-oredered and purchased beforehand. We had our own bbq on the boat but it took a while to fire up and cook the food (it’s a ‘bug’ but we struggled with getting decent gas supply). You can also order platters if preferred. You get over two hours on the river - which is ample time. You do need a dedicated driver who is prepared to captain the boat the whole time and must not exceed alcohol limit (driving licence required). There are fines for negligent behaviour. All up an enjoyable experience and definitely worth doing if just to view the best scenic parts of the main river section in Adelaide.

Terrible attitude from the guy who works there (runs through the operating procedure). The motor on our bouy had a fuel issue, causing the motor to constantly cut out. We had to phone the operator 3 times to come out the 100mtrs to look at the motor. He was rude, giving excuses each time and implying there wasn't an issue with the motor. We gave up after my husband had to pull start it for the 25th time and headed in early. No apology, no offer of compensation, he just walked away. When we told him the whole experience was terrible (mainly due to his poor customer service), he showed his arrogant nature and said, "How do you think my day has been", (needing to come out to fix the motor). I wish I had read all the other bad reviews about the same motor issues and this guy attutude beforehand.

Some of the sweetest tunes to be found in Adelaide. I really like the vibe here. However... while friendly, I think the staff need to be managed better. Plenty of staff standing around, when there are glasses and sticky tables throughout the place. Ummm hate to say it but the toilets are close to the worst I’ve encountered. Take a mask. 😷

Went on a Thursday, not super busy but they had pool tables and I won the game, so definitely adding an extra star just for that.

Filthiest most absolutely revolting place I’ve ever bothered to visit. Not only are they the dirtiest and most putrid sticky floors & absolutely disgusting lack of any sanitary glasses or even have ability to walk without a shoe being permanently stuck to floor but the bar staff are absolutely awful! Not only did one of the worst customer service treatment mortify me but being intimidated & aggressively stood over and to have a water and Coke Zero confiscated AFTER paying for it is baffling. Even after contacting the venue to obtain a refund for being ripped off by the bartender they still haven’t returned my money and unfortunately am now contacting liquor licensing commission for their abject lack of capacity to act in safe and sensible manner or any kind of honest way. Never have I seen such confusing and abject contempt of the legislature regarding liquor service and alcohol laws and sheer ignorance of the health and safety of the public. It’s a putrid pathetic excuse for a venue and pure waste of money. Seriously save your money because it’s not worth the washed up has been old crusty div to begin with and a sweaty Smokey crusty hole which has to be so easily fixed by leaving that place to rot with the abject lack of integrity of their staff and cleanliness issues!

Bouncer here was great and very friendly, the club was actually clean which seems to be rare in Adelaide, even the toilets were too which was great. If you like a disco vibe the music and lights are great. However the bar tender told me he could only do red bull and Malibu. But overall was a great club!!

It was probably one of the most magical places I've ever been too, the artwork was glow in the dark, but I loved the atmosphere it was so genuine and fun, great music, fashion is important, would love to make a painting for this place, the interior design was beautiful loved the decorating 💖🦄🍭

Absolute one of a kind venue. Nothing like it in Adelaide, never has been and never will be. Great staff, cool venue, only the best music and sounds, and pro-socially responsible - something you don't always see in venues in this era. Big love to Driller and Co.

Since i saw all the european and american artist this club brought to adelaide i have to say that you guys here need to be more appreciative cause this is an elite selection of music artists, the crowd was too small the other day i guess adelaide people dont have elite taste. Club looks nice with funny small balls pool tables. 8bucks for gin and tonic not so bad, i guess other prices are ok too. The only thing is the sound, its kinda bad, they have funktion one but it is either too old and dont produce good sound anymore or somebody need to adjust the amp.

My partner and I got married at Chateau Apollo in March 2023 and could not recommend it more! The place was recommended by a friend and it quickly became our first choice after looking at some other options. We were so impressed with everything at Chateau - from the initial contact and planning all the big & small details through to the generous tasting menu (wow - so much food!), coordinating with the furniture hire company to the running of the actual event. They were so flexible about how we wanted the event to be run, but organised and experienced enough to guide us when we needed it. It was fantastic having a space reserved at Roxie's next door for canapes and drinks during the break between the ceremony and reception. Jess, Tim, Ebony, Matilda and the rest of the team were just perfect. They even had a designated 'dietary requirement' staff member on the night who was making sure all of our guests with dietaries knew what they could and couldn't eat. She came up to me partway through the night to clarify the ingredients of the cake (made by my cousin) and knew by name which of our guests wouldn't be able to eat it. I was blown away. Special mention about Jess, the event manager, who went above and beyond in helping us organise everything for the wedding. She was great in guiding us on the timing of the afternoon and night (being newbies to this whole wedding thing, we really appreciated her help) and was flexible, kind, funny and patient as we worked through everything together. A lot of our communication was via email because we live interstate, but it couldn't have been easier. Jess unfortunately wasn't able to be there for the night itself but it still ran smoothly because it's such a great team. We were excited about getting married before it happened, but honestly doing it at Chateau Apollo made it even more special. Chateau exceeded all of our expectations - perfect vibe, great communication, delicious food, excellent wine and drinks list, lovely staff, and super reasonable pricing to top it off.

We recently had our wedding at Chateau Apollo and could not recommend this venue more. It was so beautiful and rustic, with minimal decorations required as the space itself is just so gorgeous. Jess and Ebony were our event managers and they both did such an incredible job. We had a cocktail style reception and the food was to die for! We highly recommend this venue for any event, especially your wedding 🤍

My husband and I recently Got Married Here over the Long weekend in June, Could not be more Pleased and Amazed at How Much the Venue Managers (Tim, Naomi and Kelly) and Staff both Front and Back of house went above and beyond, to bring together our Vision and Dream wedding. The communication, care and support from all the Staff is and was outstanding, The Food and Beverages served was exactly what we had arranged and wanted, to perfection. Can not Appreciate and praise enough for all that they Did for us, Setting up and packing down for us. The Venue is definetly somewhere i will and do recommend for anyone wanting to have any sort of function here. Thankyou so much for all that your Amazing Team did for us.

We recently had our wedding reception at Chateau Apollo and it was incredible! The food, the venue and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Jess, the venue manager, was so easy to work with. She has such a great energy and vibe, and made us feel so special from the moment we first met right to the very end. We will treasure our night here for the rest of our lives!

Convenient space for cycling specialists during the TDU. This year Black Sheep Cycling and SpecializedAU again share the space and host popular events. Tuesday's Reunion Ride was a sell out - well organised and hosted. Ride, check out the kit, including new releases then watch the racing on the big screen while enjoying a drink from Roxies

Chateau Apollo was amazing! We recently had our wedding there and it went perfectly. Jess and Ebony were responsive, solved all of our problems and went above and beyond making sure our day went exactly how we wanted it. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how good the food was and how much there was! It was a really great night and I would recommend Chateau Apollo for any function.

We recently had our wedding ceremony at Chateau Apollo. Jess and Ebony were extraordinary - so kind and with exquisite taste - they attended to every little detail so we didn't have to worry about anything. I had my dream wedding thanks to you! 💕

I came here on a Sunday night, the food was nice. Just last of bread and rice, it was 20 dollars I didn’t think it lived upto my expectations. Would like to try other things. How ever most the fools was in a warm bay marine not made fresh. So when they served it was cold. I would love to have more spicy options there. There not open every night for food!

I attended the Speak-Hear open mike poetry evening on the first Tuesday night of the month (July). The venue is beautiful with its African influences, the customer service was friendly and on point. No stars on the food as I didnt eat here.

Only went in for a beer, great vibe, cool little bar. Cheap beers too. Afro beats on a Sunday arvo with live Dj's Really worth a visit for a great little place with character.

Worth a visit, nice African vibe. Usually packed after 12am Friday and Saturday If you are lucky that the kitchen is open (not every day), definitely should try those African dishes. I love the jollof rice with oxtail and chicken. I think this is one of not many places serving African cuisine in the CBD.

Great Customer service💟, excellent vibe and groovy jams. Extremely upmarket and friendly Managers with a warm welcome. Will definitely visit again , Drinks are affordable and clean an safe environment.

The previous owner Friday Tobias Juma still owe my money back to years ago, and he blocked my profile and refused to pay me back The bar is not trusted

Quirky little multicultural bar with cute signs and pictures scattered throughout.small and intimate setting at the west end of Hindley so parking isn’t too much of a nightmare. Staff are willing to fix any issues when asked. Offers live music and special events regularly. Just check the windows.

Hard pressed to find somewhere to eat on a Monday night? This is a great find! The challenge is not ordering everything on the menu - it all sounded delicious. Thankfully we were a group of 5, so were able to order generously. And we were not disappointed! Great venue, great service, great wine, great food! I can't wait to return.

This was the top dining experience of my trip to Australia on this ocassion. From the moment one steps inside this pastel coloured clean lined Scandi interior, with open kitchen at the end, one feels welcome. Service, atmosphere, knowledge of staff of the dishes, calibrated engagement level with diners - spot on. Then there is the food - innovative, clever, and even more better known dishes (eg zuccini flowers with fabulous vegan lemon mousse), beautifully executed. Pork head croquettes paired up with green salad (yellow pickled and fresh green long beans, greens) - divine! Beef tongue skewes with grilled pineapple - something that one would not only not cook at home, but not find at many restaurants these days. That was a thing of beauty and an explosion of flavour! Grilled sardines with jamon -comfort food on the plate. Beautiful stone fruit tart to finish. Bar Riot carries a fab sharing and caring menu, with great wines by the glass selection. I heartily recommend this fabulous, vivid new addition to the Adelaide dining scene.

Such a lovely place. Food is amazing! So far I’ve tried the steak sandwich and it was very delicious for its price! I would definitely go back and try out some of the other food in the menu 🩵🩵🩵 Crew were also very friendly! Place is spacious for large group and outdoor sitting available for those who have dogs/cats. Beside this bar/pub is a cosy cafe/florist (which is also deserves some recognition)!

A fantastic bar and eatery, the food, service and drink selection are top notch.. One of the very best around Adelaide CBD .. The Wednesday quiz night was a real blast.. We had a ball. Once again the staff were outstanding .. Hospitality staff of Adelaide if you want to see how it should be done get down to the Bar Riot and watch and learn! Excellent work by the whole team I give this a Mega A+A+A+A+We will be back again and again!

Loved it, great addition to the CBD dining scene. Informal tapas style dishes and service with a smile, great work Mon 🙌

Allow yourself to be mesmerised by a menu chock full of thought-provoking options, delicious food, and a lovely setting, where the freshness and welcoming service will keep you going back. Fantastic!

Been here twice now and it's been fantastic both times. Really thoughtful and creative menu that matches really well with the types of wine Riot makes. Vegan options are fantastic, we were treated to so many delicious options. The summer greens tart, grilled snow pea salad and roasted carrots are essentials. And don't forget the yellow stone-fruit tart - it might be the best dessert I've ever eaten! The flavours and textures all compliment each other so well, it is clear there was much care put into designing this menu. The lemon spritz is amazing also, the fresh rosemary is such a nice touch! As well as the wonderful food and drink, the atmosphere and team are lovely. Love the design of the interior and the open kitchen where you can watch the cooks work their magic. Service is outstanding, such thoughtful staff that want to give you the best experience possible. (Thank you Jake for making us feel extra special). Very worth the visit if you want an easy going meal and some lovely wine to match (especially fellow vegans, you will feel right at home).

Experience avery disrespectful driver who parked his car in between two lanes. An old lady begged him to park his car nicely so she could also park . But instead she ignored the lady and walked away. This was so annoying experience to see happening in respected place of worship.

Peaceful church, but with strange parking space. Located right next to St. Mary's College of Adelaide.

It's good to have a church wedding. First time for me to get inside and saw my friend in a long gown. Never tried in a church service but one day would try.
