CHECK OUT ADELAIDE’S THRIVING SMALL BAR SCENE

ADELAIDE, SA

Adelaide used to be the place where cool bars went to die. But no longer, because some of Australia’s best bars are now in the South Australian capital – you just have to know where to find them. We love cute-as-a-button bar Maybe Mae (15 Peel Street, Adelaide) for gorgeous cocktails and a Mad Men- in-Copenhagen interior. Pink Moon Saloon (pictured; pinkmoonsaloon. com.au) is a lesson in refinement, with its steeply angled roof and walls squeezed into a laneway’s width, like Tokyo’s Shinjuku Golden Gai redefined for southern climes. Stop in for a Rhubarb Iced Tea cocktail and consider yourself the embodiment of chic. Maybe a wine is what you’re after, though? No problem – head to Mother Vine ( mothervine.com.au) for a huge variety of wines by the glass that are as lovingly selected as they are delicious.
