"With leather-bound menus and million dollar views, 2KW is where high society gathers. Eight storeys above North Terrace, this slick venue is reliably crowded with savvy scenesters capping off a big night, or partying into the early hours. Their Oakbank cocktail is named after the famous(ly messy) local racing carnival, and is just the ticket for when you’re surveying the best view in town."

"2KW is eight floors high – not quite as lofty, but it's an upmarket spot for a cocktail and eye-popping views out towards North Adelaide nonetheless."

Since taking over this moody basement in 2014, Maybe Mae has forged a mighty reputation as one of Adelaide’s most suave watering holes, with an ever-changing menu of cocktails loaded with freshly juiced fruit."

"This Gilbert Place establishment has a two-word slogan – ‘lifting spirits’ – and it doesn’t disappoint with its extensive selection of quality gin, rum, and whiskey. The exterior of Hains & Co looks like a classic London pub, while the interior looks like the cabin of a ship, the outside area’s cigar smokers whiff like in Cuba, and the deep-fried bar food taste like the southern States."

"This is a place where you should go if you want some amazing drinks and gain some knowledge. Yes you heard it right!. The bartenders and people at hains and co have astounding knowledge about the drinks they are serving."

"The nautical vibe might seem incongruous on a hot Adelaide night this far from the ocean (diving helmets, barometers, anchors etc) – but somehow it works. A really clever fit-out of a tight laneway space, with..."

"Small underground bar and venue tucked away in the heart of Adelaide. The Ancient World is a hidden gem in the city, and definitely one of those places you do not want to miss out on. Try their whiskey from Tasmania and the Mexican cola Jarritos, and put your signature onto the bathroom door--it is, actually, encouraged!"
