Formerly Fowler’s Live, this heritage live music space is one of the best places to see live music in the city. It's had a modern revamp by a team of SA hospitality veterans, and now it stays open late with a diverse line-up of bands, DJs and more.

This inclusive bar and nightclub is a safe space for Adelaide’s queer community, but it's open to anyone who's looking for a gay old time. Mirrored ceilings, light-up go-go dancing cages and a giant rainbow are the canvas for your Saturday night boogie.

A "polished-up" dive that splits the difference between pub and small bar. You could just as easily come here to sip from the 300-strong spirit list heavy on tequila and bourbon, or dance to the jukebox rock 'n' roll tunes spinning until late.

Anything goes at this basement bar and live performance space. If you don’t know what you’re in for, you might stumble into a niche club night or an art exhibition. All you need to do is find the entrance, hidden down a low-key laneway.

At this seamless music venue and club, one minute you’re swaying to a live band, then next thing you know the band is gone and you’re dancing to indie tunes with three new friends. Its double-level layout makes you feel like you’re in a Brooklyn club but the constant flow of Coopers on tap keeps your location in check.

Hailed for its stellar cocktails and pizza, this place has become the cool older sister of Adelaide’s dancing scene. It’s a boon for lovers of house, disco and tastefully-selected party tracks.

Hidden behind Leigh Street Luggage, this good-times cocktail bar is a love letter to the Adelaide hospo crowd. It's the kind of place you can drop in late, grab a fancy toastie and a well-made cocktail, then boogie to a rotating cast of DJs spinning everything from hip-hop to house until the early hours.
