Venturing into the city bars

There are some wonderful laneway bars around Adelaide these days. If you have visited Adelaide many years ago, you will not recognise it! The State Government has made a project of reinvigorating the city by approving warehouse conversions into funky night-time venues as part of their Laneways Masterplan. If you venture in to Leigh Street or Peel Street in the West End, you will feel like you have been transported to Europe, with tiny cosmopolitan bars in a variety of themes dotted everywhere.

We attended a few Cabaret shows this year and explored some of the laneway bars before and after shows. For Leigh and Peel Streets, catch the tram and hop off at the Town Hall stop. Walk north along the western side of King William Street, turn left at Currie Street and right in to Peel Street. There are several bars and restaurants, including a hidden bar beneath the Bread and Bone Wood Grill. If you, like we were, are on your way to the Adelaide Festival Centre, it's just a five minute walk across Hindley Street, along Bank Street to the Adelaide Railway Station. From there, the quickest way is to walk down through the Railway Station directly to the Festival Centre. Enjoy!
