This is a joint review from two yelpers who stumbled across this cute little cocktail/tapas bar one…read moreThursday night. The walls of this bar make you feel like you are in a child's bedroom. The theme is based on the tale of the flying trunk. The cocktails are delicious. We had the salted caramel star and the so flute. I loved the little pretzel star in the salted caramel. They also serve tapas food. They also serve tapas food. We had the pan fried gnocchi with artichokes, and the buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes. Mmm! The prices are pretty reasonable as well. The cocktails are $17 - $20. The tapas is under $15. We also had a lovely conversation with the owner evi about the design of the place. 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! Fast and friendly service, combined with some unique concoctions and names of cocktails means you will spend most of your time there deciding which cocktail you'll get when you next return. 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.

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.

Zack has built an amazing speak easy style bar that makes you feel like you've ducked back in time…read moreto a prohibition era. 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!

Nice little quaint and cozy bar. They had 3 beers on tap and the larger tasted great. We sat at the…read morebar one night and cozy lounge area another. Staff were friendly one night and the next night not very sociable. They are open late which is great! I'd stop here for an ale again thats for sure. Rating it as a small cozy wine bar I give it a 4.5 ( rounded to 5.

When you are made to feel like you are the only person in the bar worth serving (despite how…read morechaotic everything is around you) you know you are in for a good night. 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.

Not just putting in a front for the customers they seemed to love their work and it showed through the drinks also.

If you're lucky enough to get a spot at the bar, you can play a little game of 'what cocktail do you think they are making?'. Loser buys the next round. This can get messy... I personally love the Pavlova cocktail (it's fruity and delicious) and the Impeachment (more boozy, but smoother than Vin Diesel's bald head). I did also try the Nikki Webster and I can say that Nikki tastes 'so fresh'...just like the pop music compilations featured in discount bins across Australia! Bonus is it's tucked away from the ever increasing hustle and bustle of Peel Street! So when you're deciding on whether to people watch or whether to flash your new Mimco or BNKR purchase up and down the street, just head to the basement of 2 peel street and chill out for a while. The staff are great too. 5 stars of Nikki Webster's strawberry kisses!

Who doesn't love a secret doorway into a cool new bar?…read more Adelaideans seem to be spoiled of late, with a rash of new bars popping up across town, and happily they have embraced them with open arms. ...this however may mean a short wait to get into some of the cooler places like Maybe Mae on Saturday nights, but it's worth it. Only complaint was that it was really stuffy and boiling when we were there around midnight - obviously thoroughly warmed up from it being brimming with bodies since the afternoon. Could do with a touch better ventilation in some pockets of the bar perhaps. Otherwise MM is a great cocktail bar with a hefty range of cocktails and a cool place to introduce to your friends.

Their cocktail list offers a bit of something for everyone. Bartenders here are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my pint of local IPA, which was reasonably priced at $10. However, my Negroni Julius ($17) was weak, and finished in 3 sips. The glass was 99% ice. I paid $17 for ice and maaaaybe one shot of liquor. The two sips were tasty, but again, this was disappointing. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing. I would still recommend Maybe Mae-one of the best bars in Adelaide.

Do not order uber eats from this restaurant. It was the worst and most over priced Thai food I have…read moreever eaten. Both the green curry chicken and pad kra pao were mainly undercooked potatoes, tough large pieces of cabbage, overcooked old fried tofu and very old dead beans. As far as i know massaman curry is the only dish that has potato in it. How can they justify charging $39 for a container full of undercooked potatoes, old tofu, sauce and a few bits of chicken. Did the restaurant think they could get away cooking such food as it was an uber eats delivery.??? So people do not order uber eats from this restaurant!!!!

Why have I not been here before? For some reason I have walked past this place many times. I think…read morethat it might be a signage issue. But this place is really lovely. If you are looking for a classy cocktail bar in a beautiful old building with lovely décor, this place has the goods. The interior decoration is unusual, but cool. Kind of a upmarket eclectic feel. Large arm chairs and vintage furniture, while having a modern touch and a weird seated area with a wall of stings. Kind of hard to explain. Nonetheless, it is also about the drinks. Great selection of spirits and cocktails. Extensive menu, you will struggle to choose. The cocktails are well priced and do use good quality spirits in the mixes. The bar staff are attentive and there is complete waiter service here. So, find a seat and they will look after you. The cocktails are really lovely, I had a Pink Grapefruit and Tequila cocktail. Very fresh and tasty. The rim of the glass was rolled in sugar which cut through the citrus. Lovely bar and I will return on a regular basis!

Hellllooooooo..... Brklyn! A new kid on the block has set up shop (or you could call it three)…read moresitting above Rundle Street. This bar is really doing something different. Set to feel like a side street in a town, you will notice a subway chair on entry and three small stores. First up a deli prepping cured meat awesomeness, next up a barber and finally a recording studio. And yes, there is a barber set up on Friday night to get a cut while you enjoy a few drinks. It is quite well set up and really does create a different feeling in a bar. You are stepping off Rundle Street onto another street upstairs. In the middle you will find a long bar and a range of booths. Bottles of spirits line the back and four taps for brews. The cocktail menu has some twists to old favourites. I went for The Dreamer as I am a whisky girl. It was a good cocktail, a little acidic and fresh. It was a good cocktail, but nothing that really stands out in a crowd for $20. Next time I will order the Old Fashioned which had some coconut in it from memory. Interesting. What I really like about this bar is the aesthetics. It's almost trying to create an experience that no one else is doing with the shop fronts. I think it's quite clever. The owner here is a real sweetheart and really trying to do something different. Give it a few months and I think that this bar will be pumping! Well done for effort and looking forward to see this bar grow.

Not all bars have a deli, barber and radio station in it…read more BRKLYN is Rundle Street's newest bar. Its opening night was definitely no secret but entrance almost is; To get up to the bar you need to look out for the neon 'B' from Rundle Street (easy to walk straight past) I like the kind of 'neighbourhood' theme the bar is going for, which a string of local shops. After you walk through the subway station there's the delicatessen which serves up small bar foods and cold cuts. They have Vincenzo's barber if you need a trim (different opening hours to main bar) Soundpond have also got a little radio station setup down the end as well. The bar area was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, considering how much floor space the whole venue takes up. There are seats all the way along the bar which does make ordering a drink a bit awkward. Also I think the music could have been turned back down to 11, it was pretty much impossible to have a conversation within five metres of the bar. I liked one of their signature cocktails 'Pistols at Dawn' with Chipotle infused Tequila with capsicum and some other things. The first mouthful tasted like a pepperoni pizza which I kind of enjoyed. Overall I really liked the vibe and atmosphere at BRKLYN. I'd be keen to try the food selection next time, hopefully when the hype calms down a bit.
