After-Work Drinks in Adelaide

Updated August 30th, 2021

It's hard to find the right venue for work drinks.

Chances are, you'll be rolling with a large group of diverse ages and tastes. You need a big bar with an egalitarian streak – one that offers Champagne alongside Coopers, without judging your office get-up.

Some of our choices are smaller or more specialised. But for the most part, we've gone for the true all-rounders, where everyone can find a seat and a drink they like. Go on, get that weekend started.

  • Lady Burra Brewhouse

    Bar

    Freshly brewed beer, Portuguese food and plenty of space.

  • The Gallery

    Bar

    This rooftop is idyllic in summer and toasty in winter with the help of heaters and a retractable roof.

  • Bank Street Social

    A seemingly limitless warren of exposed brick rooms powered by gin, whisky, local beers and wines.

  • 2KW

    Restaurant

    If you don't mind a slightly corporate vibe, this one has great views.
