    Press Club

    The Press Club is an elegant spot of amber hues, leather sofas and ottomans, glowing chandeliers and fabric-covered lanterns, giving it a touch of Near Eastern glamour. Live music happens on Thursday – jazz, funk, rockabilly – while DJs spin on weekends.

    Bowery

    Exposed-brick walls, gilded mirrors and antique chandeliers lend a classy, old-fashioned vibe to this long, narrow bar. The cocktails are top-notch (and priced accordingly), and there's a tiny patio in the back. Live jazz Tuesday to Thursday; DJs spin on weekends.

    Trinity Bar

    Sleek, DJ-equipped Trinity has fine vodkas, martinis and cocktails to sample, plus beer pulled from ceiling-hung taps. Look for the deep-red lighting and the tri-stripe symbol on the wall – they're the only signs directing strangers to this out-of-the-way haunt.

    La Ruche

    French for 'the hive', La Ruche is indeed a buzzing place, where a well-dressed crowd banters over nicely mixed cocktails and tasty bistro-style tapas plates. The main room channels Alice in Wonderland with wildly sculpted chandeliers and elegantly mismatched furniture, while there's a spacious (smoker's) courtyard in the back and a small, cosy retreat upstairs.

    Greenhouse

    In a city so in love with the great outdoors, it's surprising that nobody's opened a rooftop bar in the central city before now. Hip, eco- conscious Greenhouse is leading the way, mixing up a storm amidst the greenery above the award-winning restaurant.

    Distill Cocktail Bar

    Super-sassy Rundle St bar with a tight dress code (to the nines) and a kickin' organic cocktail list. Sustainable snacks (sourced within 100 miles) are creatively paired with SA wines: Limestone Coast cloth cheddar with juicy Shiraz; organic basil pesto with herby Riesling.

  15. 1806

    This cocktail bar doesn't pack up its stirrers until 3am most mornings (and until 5am on Friday and Saturday). Not only does it serve a long, long list of cocktails, it also runs sessions designed to bring the mixologist out in you ($170).
