I really like this place, they have a great selection of wine and spirits (and probably beer too,…read morebut I can't comment on that as I am not a beer drinker by any stretch of the imagination), they are locally owned and not part of a huge conglomerate which always makes me happy to support them and I have always found the staff there to be really helpful and easy to talk to. It always feels good to support a local business in a market usually dominated by the big players and here they make that a very easy choice to make!

I have to especially attribute this 5 star rating to one of the guys who works there. Super…read morefriendly, always bubbly and positive and the face of the place in my opinion! Not a bad range for a smaller bottle shop and frequent specials on some items.

The Prohibition (Gin) Crew have joined the Adelaide 'small bars band wagon' and opened up this gin…read morebased bar - design studio - coffee bar in the happening part of Gilbert Street. The Coffee section isn't quite ready yet but the rest is in full swing with the rear section due for some more work including a new copper pot still arriving in January. The design business Toolbox is under the same roof, tucked in behind their coffee bar. There is obvious street appeal from its corner location with dark walls, a full glass front with a vertical lift front glass door, minimalist but not cold and kind of starting to get a look of its own. The bath tub above the bar is a great touch. Our visit was part of a North Adelaide Primary School fundraiser, where Adam, co-owner with Wes in this bar enterprise, is a parent. Our group took part in gin flights, with some mixing and experimenting of our own, along with some knowledgable commentary from Adam. Some ordered dinner with options of sliders (x3) and fancy toasties while others enjoyed an antipasto assortment. I will admit I failed to properly peruse their menu options on this occasion and whilst this is a gin focussed bar they have enough to please whomever walks in. The staff were lovely and approachable and I mention this because this can sometimes be a deal breaker for customers. They source their (wine) spirit base from the Barossa and even the tonic water and vermouth they use as mixers are Australian. Our gin offering on the night was their staple small batch 42% craft gin, the shiraz barrel 60% craft gin, and their monster 69% bathtub cut gin which should carry a warning label (great with a splash of tonic). We also got lucky and tasted a 'Christmas release' gin special with a cake like nose and obvious holiday flavours, a perfect gift or something to sip on the actual day (see photos re tasting notes). I didn't eat or drink anything on the night I didn't enjoy and I think PLC will continue to grow and attract new customers and become a regular on the Adelaide scene. I'm hoping their coffee is phenomenal. If you like a gin you need to go and if you don't just come for a look - maybe all the medals and accolades displayed around the bar will be enough for you to get curious :)

So sit back listen to funky music, eat some yummy food and have a drink or two and soak up the atmosphere!

The Rest of Adelaide: "Ohhhh..." Me: "Look it's pretty cool, just follow them on Facebook and head down to one of their events. They have a bar there too." The Rest of Adelaide: "Ooo a bar!

Booked our tasting ahead of time per recommendation. We started the day of tasting with this winery…read morebecause it was the furthest away. The vineyard was tranquil and the vines had just budded the week (mid-October). Beautiful sunny day with exquisitely crafted sparkling wines. We did 2 flights and bought a bottle to bring back home. Highly recommend the wines at deviation Road if you're in Adelaide for wine tasting.

What's an amazing experience. You can't go wrong. Only a few minutes from Stirling. Stunning views…read more Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Do yourself a favor and make this winery a must stop. You can never go wrong with bubbles.

I first discovered hills cider when a friend recommended it to me at a pub. I loved the taste as it…read morewas it alot lighter and fresher on the palate than some other ciders that are not 100 percent apples, and more added sugar and flavours. Sure it sounds like a sales gimmic but I believe them and they are south Australian too. I have to support local business. I love their new nashi pear cider. Its like nothing I have ever tasted before in a pear cider. It has a strong woody after taste. I love it. Cant wait to try their apple and ginger flavour. I hope this local continues to do well.

So I would assume most people who dabble in cider are aware of The Hills Cider Company, but maybe…read morelike me I was unaware of their range, I thought mmmhmmm they have apple and they probs have pear, I have had the apple and it is too sweet for me, I like a cloudy tart cider, but that is fine...at the Radelaide Love Affair event i discovered there is so much more to The Hills Cider Company.... 1. Holy heck they have a hopped cider, this is amazing, my boyfriend doesn't really like cider and he loves hoppy beer like IPA's whereas I like cider and do not like beer specially not IPA's, this cider works for both of us and that hop flavour is so delicate but definitely there. Need to purchase over and over again. 2. Now, we don't want to condone binge drinking, BUT who doesn't love an 8% cider...Ginger and Apple cider i discovered is high in alcohol but not only that delicious, tart and tasty with that little ginger kick which I love, if you are a light weight you may only need 1-2 of these and be done. The event made me open my eyes to such a larger range which is so much tastier than the basic apple and pear, it makes things interesting, i hate sweet ciders but these two different options are not sweet nor girly!! Delish! Get me one now because work is hectic (obviously since I am writing a review whilst being at work).

Oh well, this is what Yelp is all about. Finding little gems and sharing it. Why am I so excited about this bottle shop? It might have something to do with the 400 craft beers and 2000 wines... Hells yeah! The selection is divine. This is where you will find all of the most interesting brews and vino. I love that there is a vast selection of Adelaide Hills Wines here. I have found that the wineries in the hills are selective on where they sell their wine. As for crafties, it is like a trip around the world. You will not be bored here. The store is a lot bigger than you think it is from the road. Rows and rows of glowing bottles. If you are stuck for choice (which I am sure you will be) be sure to speak to the very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are really helpful. Prices are great for the selection, so that is also a bonus. If you are after something special or if you are particular about what you drink, this is the place for you!
