The crowd is super…read morelocal and often the place is quiet but they are now putting on jazz mid-week to add some pizazz to the venue. An ever changing and simple wine list of SA wines by the glass and bottle as well as a few ciders and beers to boot complement the gourmet tapas style menu on offer. I love sharing food and so this place suited me perfectly however my partner was hoping we would go out for the "main meal" after dining here! Every dish was incredibly well flavoured and spiced as well as being rich enough to be filling. It wasn't the healthiest meal but every we tried couldn't be faulted. From the thai chicken balls with a caramelly soy sauce to waygu meat balls, fennel and orange soaked olives (my fav) and the fried haloumi it all worked well with each other and what we were drinking. This venue is also deceivingly larger than you would expect as you walk up to the counter (in a room behind the front bar and dining area) and can explore a larger carpeted dining and entertaining area as well as seating out the side of the house. It has been furnished very classically with old wooden chairs and tables but given a modern twist with the quirky addition of wine glass chandeliers and a mirrored room indoors. So if you're looking for a pre-dinner or late evening snack over some unusual local wine and tasty tapas, this place is worth bookmarking.

We discovered this spot some time ago and have visited it a few times since…read more Time for a review. Last night we got an off the cuff invite for drinks at 16:30 and to hear a band The Prospectors. Arriving late (that's our style) we missed the first set so sat out the back with a glass of bubbly and had a chat. There are a variety of rooms from the main with couches, large and small tables and bar stools, to small quiet intimate side rooms that can be used for groups. The wine is varied, many by the glass at fair prices and the staff are well versed in wine so are able to find something you'll like. The food is so very tasty. Mustard cheese bread, arancini balls, crushed potatoes and a three cheese plate. Ordered just at the end of the bands second set we were up on the dance floor. Tradition states with The Prospectors, that one of their last songs of an evening is 'dancing on the streets' in which you go and do just what the song says. A final note on the first Wednesday of the month they do a wine food pairing night with a local wine producer. It is a very popular event often being booked out weeks if not months in advance (we booked the last seat for the December event, 2 months in the future from time of posting) So expect an update in a few months.

This is by far, Adelaide's best kept secret right now. Small bars are popping all around town, but…read morethis one stands true to the whole hole-in-the-wall hidden bar concept. GENIUS. It is so refreshing. If you're not looking hard enough you would easily miss it. Walk in and it's like the prohibition era, from the grungy shelves to the dark, moody decor and booths to the sad music. It is easily one of the best themed cocktail bars in Adelaide. Drinks are fantastic. Some bars have expensive drinks for not much and they don't taste great. Not at Baddog, they are top notch and the barman does it right in front of you on the bar so you don't miss a thing. Brilliant. Best find of the year for me so far.

The waist coats, crystal glasses and twisted stainless steel and silver spoons all work to make this a top spot for a cocktail or cheeky beer. A maestro of the common and rare cocktails and a range of spirits you wont find in many bars Zack makes this bar. Sitting at the bar is mandatory for the first drink in my opinion then sneak off to the lux booths for quiet and intimate drinks. Its dark, has very cool décor and edgy clean bathrooms. Bad Dog Bar doesn't have tvs, doesn't have pokies and doesn't have tap beer and for goodness sakes never order an apple-tini :) and that's the way we like it. Top Tip: order the pickleback - rye bourbon shot followed by some freshly made pickle juice. The SMoking Joint cocktail is also a fav!

All I have to say is that I absolutely love this place. Despite the fact that it is what I call a…read more'Railway Pub' (namely a pub that is really close to a railway station that you can jump off the train on the way home from work, grab a beer, and then jump back on the next train) I never went here all that often, despite living on the railway line that went past it. However, as I have suggested, this is an awesome pub, if only because of the Colonial India theme that literally permeates the place. It is more of a restaurant than a pub, though it does have a front bar. One of the great things about this pub though is that there are lots of little rooms which you can book for your dinner party, meaning that you can dine in private. Certainly a place to check out, especially if you are looking for a place to have a dinner party (I've done it and it was great).

I haven't been here for years.. Now I'm kicking myself…read more What got me there? Watching a new outdoor area being built, that had a sign out the front saying $7.00 Curries in Mondays* in the RajaBar. How could I NOT give that a go as it's just up the road from me. I am really glad I did. There are plenty of choices from the mildest Butter Chicken up to a 'Fire in a Bowl' Fish Vindaloo (well, they were the options tonight) Although the pricing is bargain basement, the flavours and serving size is anything but. All are served with Rice, Raita and Naan (Garlic or plain). *One stipulation is that a drink must be purchased per meal. Of course there are other options from full A La Carte (with plenty of curries) and even Brazilian Churrasco spit in the Backyard Beer Garden Available Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Public holidays. 12 noon - 10pm

This little bar is located in one of Adelaide's side streets, namely where there tends to be more of a hip crowd than the more youngish crowds you tend to find around the corner. However, this bar is a rather nice bar, though it certainly does get pretty crowded at times. However, it wasn't too bad.

When I was a kid, I used to dream about buildings like this. Such a cute little cubby with cute…read morelittle windows. Hidden & squashed between two big buildings. The botanical section in the middle is so well excecuted with the little uplights in the garden. Great, friendly service. The size of the venue is quite limiting though, difficult to get a seat given it was during the holiday period and nothing much was open in the area. Cocktails were just delicious. We went on a night where torrential rain hit so we we had to find an alternative venue as there weren't any spots left inside, so didn't get a chance to try more food or more cocktails (sad face) :( Will be back again perhaps on a less busy and less torrential night. xo

Everyone loves a good balcony bar. Not everyone. I'm supposed to watch my generalisations. But I…read morelike a good balcony bar. And this is a good one. So I like it. Just a quick warning before we jump into the meat of it: if you don't like the colour blue, don't bother. This place is as blue as a new divorcee. And that's about the long and short of it. So there won't be any meat after all, I'm afraid. You'll forgive the false advertisement, I trust. There's some pool tables here, though, and (once I managed to get a hold of one) my friend and I played a fantastic game. The eight ball went in on the same shot as the final coloured ball. Of course, the shot was my opponent's, but, y'know, I could appreciate the wonder of it all the same. And here's a Mario tip: ask the bartender for a 1 to 3 glass of absinthe, prepared using the bohemian method. Sip it on the balcony with a friend, and try to narrate the thoughts of passers-by, and beat-box their theme tune. (It's not so much a Mario tip as a Mario do-this-because-this-is-what-I-did-and-it-was-a-good-spot-of-fun.)

I believe the bar is open for the after work set Wed Thurs Fri and they do function the rest of the time. It's a great place to hang over the balcony and check the North Adelaide locals strutting about, and there's a cool fireplace in the middle of the bar for you to linger around in winter. The antipasto and hot food platters are all very good and they supply AV equipment and the like for people like myself to make amazing speeches on.

Eagles Club & Bar Bistro…read more Eagles Bistro is one of those friendly contemporary pub and restaurants catering for the elderly, or the hungry like I was. The service was instant and affable, whilst ordering at the bar, one of the staff overheard my drink order and immediately snapped open a ice cold cider and handed it to me. I cheerfully sat down and waited minutes for food to come careening out the kitchen door onto my table. I gambled on this simple pub food and ordered a half-dozen oysters. Surprisingly they were vibrant and fresh, with a healthy douse Worcestershire sauce. Next came the Chicken Burger, due to my 'Burger Fiend' status. The chips were well seasoned with chicken salt which I pondered on for a while with friends as to why they had sprinkled chicken flavoured salt on, because chicken was already the main feature of the dish. However the burger was delectable and full of the usual suspects all lathered with a spicy barbeque sauce. Not bad for $16. Unfortunately the wonderful experience was dampened by a sighting of a giant pepper shaker, that wasn't even offered to me by the waiting staff. A shameful display, I'll live on...
