Adelaide
Sights Shopping Performing Arts Sports and Activities

There's something going on every evening in Adelaide, although clubs are especially packed on weekends. Cover charges vary according to the night and time of entry. Nightlife for the coming week is listed in Hit, a pull-out section of Thursday's edition of the Advertiser. Ripitup.com.au is an online music-and-club publication aimed at the younger market.

Bars along Rundle Street, the west end of Hindley Street, and Gouger Street are trendy, while Hindley and Waymouth streets are lined with traditional pubs. North Adelaide's O'Connell Street buzzes every night, and the popular Sunday-evening beer-and-banter sessions really pack in the crowds. There are also a number of vibrant pubs on The Parade at Norwood and the Glenelg precinct, especially popular on a Sunday afternoon in the sun.

  • 1. Clever Little Tailor

    City Center

    Adelaide has a fascination with small bars and hole-in-the-wall-style venues, and the Clever Little Tailor was one of the city's first. Named after a German fairy tale, the warmth of this place is undeniable. The bar staff is welcoming and helpful and the venue is cozy and charming with its contemporary interior, exposed red bricks, and hanging ferns. The cocktails are delicious, too, and the boutique wine and beer list is impressive. Plus, the music is soft enough to chat to your heart's content.

  • 2. Bar Torino

    City Center

    The children of the owners of Chianti, a mainstay Italian restaurant in Adelaide, opened up one of the city's coolest places to hang out and enjoy great cocktails, wine, and beer (right next door to their parents' restaurant, where you may want to have dinner after a drink here). Banquettes and exposed brick walls add sophisticated touches to the chic atmosphere. Don't miss the house vermouth, which features in many of the cocktails. There are more than 20 variations on the classic gin and tonic here, as well as some interesting fortified wines. Small bites include burrata and kingfish crudo and there’s a strong Italian influence in the heartier mains.

  • 3. Udaberri Pintxos Y Vino

    City Center

    One of the first of Adelaide's growing trend of "small bars," Udaberri is a cozy, intimate setting where some of the city's best wine and beer selection is served alongside delicious Basque-style tapas. The narrow space is reminiscent of a barn, but it's a very chic barn. DJs spin house beats, but the music is never overpowering as interaction and conversation is encouraged. If you're lucky enough to beat the crowds to the loft, you can unwind on the sofas while enjoying the view. In addition to tapas, heartier plates with Mediterranean flair, like straciatella with figs and pistachio, or semi-cured chorizo, are served.
