A Drinkers Guide to Adelaide

[moses]

Following on from the drinkers guide to Melbourne thread, I thought I would start one up for Adelaide.

CBD favs:
Harry's Bar on grenfell at. Cheap jugs, plenty of room.
The Franklin Hotel on Franklin street - love the hotdog and can special. $10 long necks
Coopers Alehouse - epic Schnitzels. Decent beer specials.
German Club Flinders Street - German beer and wurst. Looks like a 1970s ski chalet. Never manage to walk out of their sober.

Are you staying in the CBD? Check out Peel Street, Bank Street and Leigh Street. Lots of awesome small bars.

 

[MarcusP2]

'Small bar' hipsterish spots I enjoy:
Udaberri (Leigh St)
Clever Little Tailor (Peel St)
That sail-themed place in Gilbert St.

Yeah, staying in the CBD on Hindley.

 

[MarcusP2]

Peel and Leigh St are right around the corner from you then.

Prefer traditional pubs, smaller places or nightclub types?

Also coming over this weekend for the Freo-Crows game!

I'll keep an eye on this thread

Oh cheers mate! Look out Adelaide.

Going to go and probably check out Roo's pub too

Haha hopefully!

Heading to the Arkabra Hotel after the game to watch Arsenal in the FA Cup final, but need a good watering hole on Friday night!

What do you like to drink?

Beer really, wouldn't mind trying out some local craft beers if they're available relatively easily?

The Alma's not right in the CBD so would require a taxi out there. Bit nightclubby as well IIRC but it's been years since I was there.

Highlighting my recommended from above:
Mother Vine, 22-26 Vardon Ave - Classy wine bar type, not for a pissup but very nice.
Barbushka, 14 Peel St - cocktails are the go here.
Hains + Co, 23 Gilbert Place - good beer selection but very small
Bank Street Social, 27 Bank St - overall great but popular and can get expensive.
Turi Café & Bar, Tenancy 3, 25 Grenfell St - On a Friday, they have good drink specials.

Absolutely disgraced themselves on the night/morning of the World Cup final with their lack of TV screens.

 

[Norwood1878]

The OG Hotel. Best happy hours. 4pm till 7pm Mon-fri $4 pints, anything on tap Sundays too.

The Franklin Hotel and The Benjamin Franklin (both on Franklin Street), both have a good selection of craft beer
http://www.thefranklinhotel.com.au/
http://www.benjaminonfranklin.com.au/

I recommend trying the Pirate Life Double IPA at the Benjamin Franklin - the stuff is 8.8% and knocks your socks off.

All the places on Peel / Leigh are full of local craft beer / wine.

Arkaba is round the corner from me, and it's a f***ing dive. There will be literally hundreds of better places to watch the game in Adelaide.

Only reason I'm going there is because the Arsenal Australia Adelaide fan club is based there, they're expecting 400-500 people watching it so should be a good atmosphere!

 

[BACCS]

Any of the pubs along O'Connell street are well worth a visit. Really liking The Cathedral these days, especially with all the meal and drink specials before a game. This is less than a 5 minute walk from AO.

Except the Royal Oak.

 

[Papa G]

Except the Royal Oak.

Used to drink a bit at the Royal Oak about 15 years ago as I had a mate who lived around the corner. Was during Derryn Hinch's heavy alcoholism phase and he was there every night.

For the guy looking for the a good craft beer place, the Wheatsheaf in Thebarton is pretty good for that. Just out of the city, even walkable from Hindley Street, has a bit of an eclectic/grungy and slight Lesbian vibe, but has an awesome selection of craft beers and malt whiskies if your into that sort of thing.
