Whiplash Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Where abouts are you staying if your here for the v8's east end would be best as its on the gates of the track The Old Exchange (might be attending a little event there on the sunday night ) Distill - more of a lounge, go play old school mario on snes whilst knocking back some vodka Belgian Beer Cafe - already mentioned, sensational brews available but bring lots of $$ The Stag - will be over crowded as the bogan population of adelaide will be in there If you want to see the sights and visit the emergency room at RAH you can go down Hindley St Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/356372-radelaide/page/2/#findComment-5703923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRoNic... Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The Old Exchange? f**k me. Never ever go there. Ever since the new owners took it over, renamed it to that shit name (previously the Electric Light) they have ruined it. The Old Exchange? Sounds like I'm heading to a 1890's pub. Went there the other week, bar manager gave me a 'tour' of their 'renovated' back room where they have literally destroyed it. Bar looks like it's made from pieces of wood found on the side of the road. She couldn't even turn on the lights since half of them weren't working. Crowd outside in the beer garden was full of feral bogans. 2 guys wearing Fubu shirts and wu-tang trackies. Rest of the crowd were f**king horrible. That place is a f**king dump. The manager even admitted that the new owners "could barely afford to buy the place" let alone keep it half respectable. Tap Inn is a quality pub. Sugar on a Friday/Saturday night on Rundle St is real quality. Older crowd (early 30's and up) and awesome house music. Most places on Rundle St are decent. Also the Union is pretty good, as is the top room there. You can make your own judgement about Hindley street but it's pretty tame compared to other states around Australia.

elir32 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 plus one for the tap in. also maid and magpie on magil rd and the oriental great places for a feed. north adelaide also has a small selection of good pubs. victor harbour down south is not bad for a drive and sights, and moana and glenelg beaches have some nice sights too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/356372-radelaide/page/2/#findComment-5704105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattR Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 yes the tap in is under recievership, but still operating, the same people also own the bombay bicycle club and coopers ale house. tap in was never as popular as expected all welland good being packed all weekend but think of how much they put into the place.

CRoNic... Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 is the tap in still open, i heard they went into recievership? Spoke to a DJ who works there, they're bringing in $4 base spirits all night Friday and $12 jugs of spirits all night Saturday just recently... obviously to bring in more people. Such a nice place but too far out from town. Was a novelty the first few times you go there. And they removed the put put on the roof Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/356372-radelaide/page/2/#findComment-5705529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

910trx Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 book a tour at the coopers brewery. proceeds go to charity and only costs $20 or something and about $20 cab fare from the city unless you bus it. takes you for a tour round the site and after you try each of the beers - best to take a bus or cab home again but great fun! but coz your down for the 500 Hutt street (in the city- they close it off for a street party) is fairly nice after the race to have a nice alfresco meal with some of the Barossa's finest reds. Adelaide is a bad place to visit - but a great place to live Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/356372-radelaide/page/2/#findComment-5714260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
