Adelaide Entertainment

  1. Archer

    A great place for a drink, with a room for every mood - from the jovial front bar (with sports screen) to the fireside lounge with Chesterfields, snooker room and upbeat music room - and DJs on weekends. A parade of beautifully dressed women sweep into the joint on the weekend - make-up is your friend at the Archer. Excellent Matilda Bay beers on tap.

  3. Exeter Hotel

    This popular, old-style inner city pub attracts plenty of post-work and uni imbibers for a casual, laid-back drink. Pull up a stool or claim a wooden table in the atrium-like beer garden and settle in for the evening. Music (most nights) ranges from acoustic to electronica but is never too intrusive.

  4. Fumo Blu

    A hip, 50s-style underground cigar bar/club with a tropical fish tank, super-dry martinis and Moët by the glass. If that don't tickle your fancy, try the house signature cocktail 'Blue Smoke'. Oh, and dress to impress - no jeans in here.

  5. Glenelg Jetty Hotel

    A great place with an open bar to Jetty Rd; it's the perfect Glenelg spot for viewing the passing traffic. If you're tired of the polished, brushed, shiny look, this is the place for you. It's the hub of this suburb and a great place to meet other travellers.

  6. Grace Emily Hotel

    A fantastic pub with Bollywood posters and other eclectic clutter furnishing the walls behind the bar. This is a real neighbourhood place with no TV and no pokies. Sit up at the bar and have a chat with the locals. We just love pubs like this - it's what makes Adelaide special.

  7. Moskva Vodka Bar West

    Moskva Vodka Bar West Moskva is a 20-something fashionistas dream with four bars and patrons wearing their weekend finest. It's one of the city's hottest clubs with a packed, chandelier-decorated dance floor and watermelon martinis.

  8. Ramsgate Hotel

    Located on Henley's bustling square, the Ramsgate has a lovely green wrought-iron exterior contrasting with the cream and pale beetroot stonework. The bar inside is a riot of polished wood and is just begging to be propped up by an elbow joined firmly to a hand gripping a Coopers. Sit outside and admire the jet skis buzzing around the water and do a spot of people-watching.

  9. Tap Inn

    Although a shrine to golfing (there's an indoor driving range and rooftop putting green), this huge pub is for all types - but especially drinking types - with a plethora of beer and wine (yes, wine) on tap. Stylish Mulligan's Bar is the place to start before migrating for a bite in the Sand Bunker Beer Garden, complete with gigantic palm tree.

  10. Worldsend Hotel

    In Hindley St, grunge and sleaze collide with student energy, and groovy bars sit amid adult bookshops and strip joints. Here you'll find student hangouts like the Worldsend Hotel (which also serves bar meals) and the cool, ambient Supermild Lounge Bar.
