2 Best Nightlife in Adelaide, South Australia

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.

For generations the front bar of this classic pub has welcomed everyone from students downing beers to businesspeople taking advantage of the surprisingly good wine list, and when the sun is out it’s nigh impossible to get one of the outside tables. Local DJs and bands still regularly play here and if you’re passing by at lunchtime, the steak sandwich is one of Adelaide’s best value lunches.
