Cry Baby: what do users think?

Ivy Bell: Love this place, always prefer going during the week otherwise u will be waiting a while x

Anne Powlett: I LOVE this place. But the seccy with the white beard is so infuriating, if he’s on don’t bother lining up , just tell him he looks cute tonight or something and he will just let you cut the line. But as a contrast shoutout to Errol, now that man is a security guard, honestly would make him the godfather to my children I trust him.All in all fantastic venue that deserves 5 stars but your “security guard” loses one

Ankit Dhakal: Atmosphere: 5/5

Ancient World: what do users think?

Jack Lastname: This place is magical. Highly recommended if you are alternative and/or queer. I came here for their UK Garage night with my current partner and we felt very safe and welcome to dance and be cute on the dance floor. You really feel that antisocial people are not welcome here, and thus do not come here. This is one of the best venues in all of Adelaide/Tarndanya.My only constructive note is that the toilets are a little gross 😅

Stephanie Sy: sanctuary for smelly artsy kids in adelaide. i would rate it 3.5 out of 5.

Tim Stew: for about five years ancient world has been my go to bar in Adelaide. It's pretty good and it's variety of karaoke on a Wednesday and live music over the weekend. If you can catch ancient world on a night where they're bands you get really good, intimate performances and I feel like a lot of the bands really do produce their best material in ancient world band. Space some of the electronica can be a little bit hit and miss, but I'm more a rock 'n' roll fan myself, I would recommend ancient world on any bucket list of backpackers, interstate, and international people wanting to get a taste of what Adelaide underground scene is like on any given night Tuesday to SundayVegetarian options: Excellent scan that was vegetarian/vegan sausage sizzle better than Bunnings

The Little Pub: what do users think?

Belinda Wellings: Don’t let the dingy darkness put you off. Push past the front bar and pokies to the back where the craft beer taps are.Take your time tasting the beers to find your preferred ale. Or grab a glass of wine.Watch the local bar flys and talk about life and love.That’s how we enjoyed the Little Pub!

James Arvanitakis: It has a certain charm

The Elephant British Pub: what do users think?

Iain McGregor: Great pub!Popped in before seeing a movie with the kids.Food was excellent and reasonably priced. We were served quickly, but it got quite busy before we left.Staff excellent, friendly and understanding towards three kids waiting for lunch.

julie sandford: A great hidden gem in Adelaide!We have dined here multiple times, great value for money and excellent service.I would highly recommend this for a cheeky catch up with friends or a meal with family .Added bonus is Kilkenny on tap!

alec tibbitts: The crumbed fish was huge and luckily, I had ordered one piece not two. The other meals people at the table had were the Thai red curry from the specials, the crispy chicken burger and the crumbed prawns. All of the meals were good.There is a wide selection of beers on taps, as there was before the renovation. I’m sure there are plenty of other drinks available too - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.As for the atmosphere, since the renovation, pretty much all surfaces are hard and although it wasn’t that busy, the noise was overwhelming. The music was quite load and patrons were having to shout to be heard. It was the one part of the night which really spoiled the experience.

Melissa Herraman: . Left the early morning and got to start of my 31st, I felt safe there and that is saying something since I have anxiety and trust issues. The atmosphere is wonderful especially the dancers and DJ. So worth going here!

Annabel Smith: Inclusive environment everyone looks out for each other the staff and security are friendly .The queens are really lovely to talk to and the numbers are exciting to watch . The only down side is the floor is sticky but you would expect that for a club.

Bar Peripheral: This is the best place to be in Adelaide if not Australia.

Chris Turner: Get yourself down there - it’s real good.

Damien Snell: Blues and whiskey. Excellently lit for atmosphere, vinyl records later in the night, and live music regularly.Private curved booths or a very welcoming bar to sit at - it is the sort of place you can chat to strangers quite comfortably. A very rare thing.The volume is perfectly set for coversation. I very highly recommend this one.

2KW Bar & Restaurant: what do users think?

Craig Jeffery: 2KW provide an exceptional dining experience. We enjoyed a long lunch, selecting the ‘feed me’ menu, which allowed us to sample several shared dishes, which we complemented with brilliantly recommended wines and rounded off with divinely crafted cocktails. 2KW excelled in every aspect of the culinary journey, however the absolute standout was the customer service provided by the front of house team, in particular Lisa, who delivered outstanding attention to detail, expertly balanced with knowledge, warmth and professionalism. It is evident that the team at 2KW take great pride in their work, and this translates to a superior dining experience in every aspect. 👏👏

celeste navacchi: 내 생일을 위해 여기에 왔는데 실망하지 않았습니다. Aaron은 밤새도록 우리를 보살펴 주었고 그는 유쾌했고 우리가 받은 최고의 서비스였습니다. 우리를 즐겁게 하고 행복하게 해준 그는 급여를 인상할 자격이 있습니다!!!! 그 사람 때문에 꼭 돌아올 것이고 내 생일을 특별하게 만들었습니다. 다음 생일에 그를 초대할 거예요.가서 아론 !!!

Ella Irlam: 마샤는 최고의 바텐더입니다. 그녀는 매우 도움이 되고 아름답습니다. 나는 그녀의 서비스로 즐거운 밤을 보냈습니다

Karen Ross: Absolutely Stunning! Classy boho vibes and setting over looking city grounds! Service excellent, stand out was Connor! Professional and friendly, helpful advice on a large range of wines and cocktails. Really appreciated his patience and guidance to find the right red wine 🍷or Shiraz in the end that suited me to a tea! Definitely recommend checking this rooftop getaway bar! 2KW was a stand out for me, for the 2 nights spent in the city checking out a few different venues. Most memorable experience was 2KW!! Highly recommend the Triple cooked salt and vinegar potatoes, they were devine! Will be back!!!!

Elizabeth Carter: and the wine was waaay too drinkable. The team of people who tended to our table were exceptional. Especially Aaron, he is gold. Thank you all for making a customer dinner a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will be back.

The Lion Hotel: what do users think?

David Paul: Sound system was not the best yet I've seen Beats on Parade play at other gigs without sound issues. Maybe replace the cables as whenever the DJ spoke it was this inaudible high pitched shrill. Once the DJ stopped speaking it wasn't too bad despite the system cutting out on one speaker. Once it was stable, it was fine. Don't use an MC if the mics aren't working - trust me, I'm a sound engineer.

Scott Hawken: One of the nicest hotels in Adelaide with a great restaurant and bistro with excellent food and friendly staff.

Hannah Alison: Gabby was immediately welcoming, so polite and friendly to all of us, good humour too. She is good at what she does!Food was delicious and presented really nicely.Tables were set up nicely, and was comfortably warm even though it’s freezing outside.My daughter had had her first taste of chocolate and approved.. Vegetarian options: I had 2 vegetarian appetisers and both were delicious and decent portions. I noticed a few v/gf options on the menuKid-friendliness: I thank Gabby again for how nice she was to my daughter, immediately getting her a high chair and offering plastic cups without me even asking. Always saying hello when she came to the table.She is a sweetheart and made our experience more than beautiful.Sorry about the mess on the table! 😝

Tom Reed: Good selection of beers, wines and spirits, great vibe.

Maybe Mae: what do users think?

Avijeet Sen: . The entrance is sort of “hidden”. The restaurant Bread & Bone and Maybe Mae are located in the same building, expect that for Maybe Mae you go downstairs to the basement and then try to find the “invisible door” 🙂Ended up trying 4 drinks - Bill Murray, Corpse Reviver, Odd Company and Poolside. Every drink was really good. I’d recommend folks to try more stuff from their ‘Hall of Fame’ menu.This place is a 100% recommendation for cocktail enthusiasts visiting Adelaide.

bonbon and pumpkin: When I arrived it has just opened and I was the first one in the establishment, which was very relaxing.Staff were extremely friendly and explained how everything worked

Woz Ray: .Thanks for a nice cocktail session.

Kym Tomlinson: , Poolside, Middleton Mango. All delicious and as described on the menu

Elizabeth de Lapp: Amazing cocktails, fantastic service, especially from Max! He made our night, thanks!Atmosphere: 5/3 …

Caitlin: Regular favourite for hubby and I when we go to the city! Fun twists on the cocktails, cute little spot with gas heaters in winter and very yummy. Thank you!

shane mitchell: Service was amazing, very magical place, had a lot of fun.Drinks were of great quality with extremely quick service.Felt like I was back in Hogwarts.Pretty sure Daniel Radcliffe was there.I was offered many free refreshing beveragesStayed there till 2am.Highly recommend this establishment.

anika weltweit (anikaweltweit): We found a great selection of magical drinks in the small bar. We particularly liked the effect with the color change and division into the Hogwarts houses. The advice on non-alcoholic drinks was very good, there was a price reduction for it.Due to the size there is no toilet.

Lana C: Nice place but feel like they pick and choose which cocktails they put effort in to, reasonably priced though and just a bit of feedback the cocktails are so sweet to the point they are sickening and not enjoyable, almost every single cocktail offered is mixed with lemonade nothing different everything is bubbly

Norman Stokes: Amazing drinks. Won’t be disappointed

Mick Wade: Small place, but awesome Themes and cocktails

Rob Roy Hotel: what do users think?

Mark Mywords: and had a distinctive smell that I could smell before it came to my table. The taste was initially fishy and over seasoned, and I wasn't sure I'd made the right decision. However, it was delicious and filling. I feel I must describe the smell and taste, and it was basically the smell of an Asian grocer, that odd fermented, spicy, musty, 'museum-ey' smell. It wasn't unpleasant, just different, and I enjoyed it.Staff are friendly and attentive, with full table service a refreshing surprise. Chilled table water was promptly served, but I followed it up with a Margarita

Pratik Christian: Boasting sophisticated black and white styling with raw timber cladding and a white marble bar, the Queen Street Ballroom provides a chic backdrop for any style of event.Complementary in-house facilities: Exclusive bar, screen, projector with HDMI connectivity, cordless microphone and audio with smart device connectivity.Food is really good. I would highly recommend to try here if you are a true foodie.However, in terms of prices it's expensive. Overall I had a good experience.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian available

Kylie McLeod: This was a fantastic place for my daughter's 30th birthday. It's a gorgeous place, with a nice vibe and the Queen Street Ballroom came up beautifully with cosmic themed decorations.Their food was delicious, not the average finger food selection but still some good options for those with sensitive or less adventurous food needs.The staff were awesome, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.Would definitely use this venue again.

Tan Me Baby: I’ve eat here and enjoyed takeaway a few times and figure it’s time for a review.The food each and every time has been delicious. I’ve enjoyed the Green Veggie Laksa many times, the Malaysian Chicken Curry and on my last visit the Sambal Char Kueh Tiaw and the Slow-cooked Lamb Shank and they are now the clear front runners.It was very quiet in the dining room as it was a mid week evening but perhaps some louder background music is a good idea as the two other groups inside were very loud and it took over the whole venue.The team are friendly and have always shown us a lovely time.On the downside, more attention on the cleanliness of the bathrooms needs to be prioritised. It wasn’t a great experience.I do also like that their menu items offer a wine pairing suggestion and there are a good range of GF options.

Claire Page: Lovely historic hotel. It has been decorated very nicely inside. We had the whole place to ourselves when we went for lunch on a Sunday around 1.30pm. The service was very good and attentive. We had steaks which were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Parking is free in the street right out the front. You have to go down some steps to get to the main bar so it is not fully accessible but they have attempted to at least make the dining area and entrance wheelchair accessible.

The Bibliotheca Bar and Book Exchange: what do users think?

Jacopo Guidone: Beautiful bar in the main center of Adelaide , good cocktails and especially nice the signatures one . The bartender was friendly and recommend my girlfriend a cocktails that she really like .Ps : Maybe could just improve by adding some more tequilas in the menu .

Paulii: It's not often a themed bar gets it right but Bibliotheca is on point. It's a cosy, tucked away bar with a definitive library feel. My friend and I got a cocktail each, The Drink That Shall Not Be Named and The Golden Ticket. Both of these were incredible, as was the service. Our bartender knew her stuff and correctly chose our drinks to suit us when we asked for help. I also enjoyed perusing all the secondhand books on the shelves and the traditional green library lamps scattered around the room. Really want to go back with friends because this is a place I want to show off, especially as an avid book lover.

Fiona Putt: Great little spot with awesome cocktails

melissa Gent: he not only has amazing service but nearly two years ago he helped me by calling an ambulance for my son when he had a medical emergency. Ever since that whenever we have seen him he has always been amazing and remembered both my partner and I and always asks how my son is doing.

Avijeet Sen: , the Honey Pot, and the Silmaril.Take a counter seat to see some interesting and ‘fiery’ cocktail preparation techniques.All in all, this cocktail bar is a must visit if you’re in Adelaide.

Bar Peripheral: what do users think?

Bane Williams: Listen, I don’t usually do this whole “love letter to a bar” thing. It’s just not my style. But Bar Peripheral, well, that place is different. It’s like stepping into a speakeasy in a forgotten dream. You feel this… magic, this weird vibe like the world’s running on a secret clock, a clock that understands that knowledge and passion are the only currencies worth a damn.The truth is, I’ve spent more time in that dark corner of the world than I’d care to admit. You’re never too far away from its siren call, that little voice in the back of your head whispering, “Hey, you want a good time? Go to Peripheral. You know you do.” The shelves are stacked with every damn bottle under the sun, and you get the feeling that every single one of them has a story, a reason for being there.You know, it’s like learning a language, not one you’d find in a textbook. Each drink is a conversation. Those behind the bar, they’re getting to know you, and you’re getting to know them. It’s this beautiful exchange, you both come away a little richer for it.Don’t get me wrong, the drinks are phenomenal. But we’ve all had those “exceptional cocktail” reviews. I’m talking about something deeper. This place, it challenges you. It throws you a curveball, something you’d normally scoff at, and then… bam! It changes you. I used to be one of those “no rum” guys. Couldn’t stomach it, not even in the most dedicated rum bar. But at Bar Peripheral, I told Vini, quite simply “I don’t like rum.” and that mischievous glint in his eyes, well, by the end of the night, I was eating my words.In the food scene, we talk about “cook’s eats” – places where cooks can just relax and enjoy a good meal. If there where "chef's drinks" this would be it. Dark, quiet, intimate, eccentric, a bit cheeky, and definitely, definitely not for everyone. A place to remove yourself from bright lights, loud noise, and constant visual clutter. Somewhere where after a few moments, the whole world melts away and you are just there, able to sit and relax and truly just 'enjoy'. A place that leaves you with a smile on your face and treasured memories. That, my friends, is exactly why it’s so damn special.

Jeremy Shapiro: Simply incredible - don’t want to detract from the experience by sharing too much … enough to say this was the best bar experience I have had. Vini - you are a true master of your art. No drinks menu ? That freaked me out initially but run with it - let Vini know what you like and what you want … great value, great service - a night to remember

Carmel Slice: If you find yourself in Adelaide and seeking the quintessential wing experience, look no further than this establishment. The wing night here is unparalleled, though I must advise you to place your order in advance to avoid disappointment.As for the other culinary offerings on different evenings, one might say they vary in quality, but the wings—ah, you simply cannot go wrong with wings night. It's a culinary certainty.The pub itself exudes a charming local ambiance, complete with a fine selection of Australian beers. During the winter months, when the fire crackles warmly, it becomes a haven for convivial gatherings and heartfelt conversations.
