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.

The service has never been 5 star and sometimes it takes a while to be served. Staff always seem friendly though and I try to relax into the beach vibe instead of worrying that things aren't perfect. I like the atmosphere and it varies delaying on day and time of day. Sunday evenings is always busy and there is live music, plus an enthusiastic dancing crowd. Quite an older crowd the later it gets on Sundays. I have had a few meetings here in the day and it's a great spot to chill out and pretend to work ;-) I agree with Chloe about the food being a bit overly deep fried. I have had some tasty food here, and it does always look fresh and nicely presented, but some lighter options would be welcome. The cocktails look amazing, but somehow I just about always order sparkling wine! I'd recommend keeping an eye on their Facebook page as they put up great photos and details of their specials and new offerings. They put up some enviable sunset photos too. All in all, a fun place in a brilliant location!

There are few and far between choices when it comes to grabbing a good, well priced drink outdoors in Henley Beach on a weekend in summer. And I know you're thinking - "What? There's tonnes of places down at Henley to grab a drink!" Yes but I could list them off for you and that would be enough said... Bacchus is one of the better locations because of their good wine menu and well made cocktail and drinks list. They would get 5 stars in my books for location and the fact you can drink on the foreshore alone. Unfortunately though they have an incredibly ordinary food and tapas menu and no matter how many times I give that place a try I am always disappointed by their unoriginal, over fried, pre-packaged food. It's weird, because their menu and photos of food from Facebook always look so enticing, so maybe I'm just ordering wrong? That said, I won't say no to a nice vino on the deck as the sun sets in winter or summer, enjoying the 25+ eye candy and imagining I own my own apartment on the beach in Adelaide!

Yeah, this was actually a pretty good place.

Bringing a hipster vibe to this bright and airy cafe; good coffee, juices and food are the main game. I enjoyed a quick breakfast here with my son about a week ago. The queue was out the door for people seeking a table, no bookings are taken. After only opening a week before, there are a few rough edges to be honed but staff are welcoming and attentive. The menu is not too large and offers a modern range of meals including the ubiquitous smashed av. Our meals were good, although my poached eggs and bacon were a little lacking in flavour and the toast came unaccompanied by butter. My only beef is that $25 for the full bacon and eggs breakfast is over the top. You'd expect to pay $15-$18 for the equivalent elsewhere.

I'd love to come back again on my way home from workies :) Nothing much more I can add to what Karen F had commented, both Adam & Evi are great hosts. Very attentive and explained both the cocktails and food very well and enticed us into trying them. Enjoyable evening.

I have only been here for a wine and cocktail so far but this place really adds to the quirky little shops, bakeries and cafes that are popping up on KWR!

The Elephant Espress is on my list to try next time. If you are like my other half though and think cocktail is for cordial drinkers then never fear - the wine and beer list is for quoffers and swirlers alike. These guys take their booze seriously and I am definitely signing up for one of their monthly "tasting flight masterclasses" in the future.

You'll crane your neck, pull the car over, and decide to go in and check out this cool new wine bar. You'll look around this awesome new space, maybe order a wine, pick up a menu to read, and have your mind blown: 'What, this is a Charminar Indian restaurant??' Yes indeed my friend, this is a Charminar, but not like the others. Instead of the usual design the owners have taken the site of the old Primo's and transformed it into an industrial, modern, fantastic little restaurant, that looks nothing like a Charminar. The manager informed us they've been open for twelve days and they took a big risk with this venture: a hot pink feature wall with a cow on it? Yeah they did, and it paid off. The enormous lamp hanging in the centre, the distressed white tables and black seating, the menu built into a huge scroll on the wall and best of all, the cow, it's a great! I am a huge fan of Charminar's trademark cheese naan and butter chicken and now I get to eat it in this cool new space! Win.

And stumble home..... So close to the beach that an after-meal walk along the beach is a great way to walk off any over-indulgences. Friendly and helpful staff, funky decor, good atmosphere.

We stood up at the bar and enjoyed the buzz of the place (not with doof doof music or loud obnoxious patrons) but with chatter and people weaving together a night of fun for themselves. You can also sit at a booth upstairs and watch over the crowd, perch in one of the windows at the front or sit on stools at small benches. If you are someone who hates making decisions, this tiny hole in the wall, 65 person bar has already made half of them for you. Their simple menu includes 3 beers on tap and a selection of craft brews by the bottle, 3 whites and 3 reds by the glass, a selection of wines by the bottle and then any cocktail you request can be made. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about all of the drinks on offer and make a point of telling you about what you are drinking, what it tastes like, or giving you recommendations. There are also only 4 food items on the menu - Coriole Olives, Pickels and 2 charcuterie boards made from The Charcuterie (a spin off from Lucia's Deli in the Central Market). We had the duck pate which doesn't sound or look that appetising but is actually not a paste but more of a shredded duck in pork belly fat goodness. The proscuitto platter again only came with bread and pickles but it didn't need anything else because of the quality of meat - it was a young cut of meat so not too typically proscuitto salty, very thinly sliced but still not bland. Now I have to warn all those typical Adelaidians our there who "refuse to line up." At 7pm on a Friday the line up was about 8 persons deep but we were inside within 20 minutes. Because this isn't a bar for spending hours and hours at people move in and out pretty quickly. So suck it up princess because CLT is worth the wait.

I would be happy if small wine bars were as prevalent as local deli in the CBD of Adelaide. This place is here to serve locals and regulars in a big way. Pop in Wednesday to Sunday from 4pm and end up crawling out at 10pm looking for some kind of fast food. This isn't the kind of bar you'd booze on at consciously, but after a carafe of wine between 2 in candle light with some scrummy truffle oil popcorn, it's too hard to say no to another carafe for $25-35 of incredibly sessionable sangiovese or tempranillo. Or if you want to get a true taster of all of the wines in the barrels then go for the tasting flight for $25 - great value. Service is good if you're a regular but, as Pablo M mentioned, if you're not then you don't feel quite cool enough to belong. If you don't let this bother you though then you'll enjoy the value, quality and general atmosphere of the place.
