With every new bar opening, our city steps more and more into its own. This year alone has seen the opening of some of Adelaide’s most celebrated bars. Adelaide’s boutique bar culture is at an all time high, but that’s not to say it’s at its peak. But what constitutes a peak, and will we know we’ve reached the pinnacle when we get there? We probably won’t know until it’s over, but in the mean time, sit back and relax with a new cocktail made from produce supplied by new South Australian distilleries in one of these newly established bars. Oh and by this time tomorrow we’ll have another two for the list, so don’t forget to hunt down Laneway The Third and The Balcony pop ups.

Where: 116a Hindley St, Adelaide (hidden between a sausage shop and an adult store in an unnamed alley)
Highlight: Once you find it, you actually become lost in a whole other world. Are you in Adelaide? No. You’re in a jungle. A jungle that is also a bar and a café and a music venue and a gallery.
