As being the place to see and to be seen on a Friday night, Treasury 1860 is trendy and upmarket. In a terrifically restored South Australian Treasury building, this bar caters to a finance and government clientele, but it also serves breakfast and lunch, being open nearly all day long.

Every weekend, DJs are spinning funk, house, pop, and rock at The Union, while you enjoy a cold beer or a tasty cocktail by the 30-metre long bar.

The two opulent levels of Mary's are finished with sleek edges and furnished with luxurious European décor, while a grand internal balcony gives an intimate view of three dazzling crystal chandeliers. These magnificent centrepieces cascade from ornate cathedral ceilings to the main dance floor below, creating a truly unique atmosphere that is held up by great drinks. Mary's is known primarily for its electrifying drag shows, but come before the party starts to enjoy the lounge vibe.

APOTECA is a stylish place offering high-quality wine, beer, and spirits. This is one of the best wine bars in Adelaide, and the food follows the very same quality standard. So, make sure to check that out.

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 on the bathroom door--it is, actually, encouraged!
