This is really a hub for creativity, whether it is for artists, businesses or events. No matter your venture, you will be welcomed here and looked after. The crew at Tenth & Gibson went out of their way to help me out with my event. No matter my enquiry, they found a way to assist and support what I needed. What I do love about this space is that it is well priced, open, well sized, funky, colourful and you can pretty much work the space you want it. There is nothing to navigate around; and there is great acoustics and lighting. There is some pretty cool street art on the walls and the decor is really funky and eclectic. So, you don't really need to do much to dress up the room. It already looks really great. The other bonus is it is just outside of the CBD and there is free street parking! Your guests will love that! If you need it, you can make great use out of the photography backdrop. You can project onto it or use it for your own photography for your event. It was a brilliant backdrop to my photos of guests. If you do have a catered event, there is a space to the side of the main Venue room you can use with easy street access. Speak to the staff about using this. I was absolutely delighted to have used Tenth & Gibson for an event. It is by far one of my favourite venues in Adelaide and I recommend it to anyone looking for a space for large or small events.

To be honest I was a little dubious when I heard that the old Tap Inn had decided to revamp and…read morere-brand, so the only way for me to find out about this new place was to get myself invited to their opening night! Which I did! The Tap Inn had become old and staid and lacking atmosphere save for their Tuesday quiz nights which were great fun. Bring on The Jungle! The new theme throughout is wonderful with palm trees, a massive gorilla, a reasonably sized elephant, vines, tunnels and surprises around every corner. The owners have done a great job in pre-creating the atmos before you've even had your first drink! Talking of which, there's an amazing array of beers, wines and champagnes available, and at prices that won't cause you to 'go ape'. Each of the bars is well stocked and they have a wonderful range of beer on tap as well as the traditional imports. The food is nothing short of spectacular! Their new Argentinian rotisserie is something to behold, and the meat that comes from it is a melt-in-the-mouth experience to delight every palate! There are over 80 'swords' that gently turn on the spit, cooking an incredible feast of meats and seafood. The Head Chef Praveen is a genius! The meat is provided by their own in-house butcher Michael, who is 'on display' as he cuts the various offerings. The menu is comprehensive, exciting and again, well priced. I even went there for Christmas Lunch which was an all you can eat delight. At $95 per head I expected a great deal - and I wasn't disappointed!! The staff are unbelievably friendly in each of their fantastic bars. They go out of their way to help and serve you with a constant smile on their faces. They are everywhere too - no need to wait an hour to be served here! My favourite of all the bars is the Rooftop. On a balmy evening it's open to the skies and stars with plenty of seating available. You can even have a game of Jungle Bocce if you're pissed enough! Just as an added bonus - if you're desperate for the loo - why use the stairs to get there when you can slide down one of the fun jungle slides! The Crafty Monkey bar on the ground floor has free fresh nuts (I know, right?), and is where you can enjoy their Happy Hour! All in all, I'm deeply impressed with the new Kent Town Hotel. I've spent many wonderful evenings there and intend to spend many more. Finally Adelaide has a new and exciting venue to crow about so let's hope that the powers that be ensure that it stays fresh. Well done to Paul, Kendel and all concerned!

The Coffee section isn't quite ready yet but the rest is in full swing with the rear section due for some more work including a new copper pot still arriving in January. The design business Toolbox is under the same roof, tucked in behind their coffee bar. There is obvious street appeal from its corner location with dark walls, a full glass front with a vertical lift front glass door, minimalist but not cold and kind of starting to get a look of its own. The bath tub above the bar is a great touch. Our visit was part of a North Adelaide Primary School fundraiser, where Adam, co-owner with Wes in this bar enterprise, is a parent. Our group took part in gin flights, with some mixing and experimenting of our own, along with some knowledgable commentary from Adam. Some ordered dinner with options of sliders (x3) and fancy toasties while others enjoyed an antipasto assortment. I will admit I failed to properly peruse their menu options on this occasion and whilst this is a gin focussed bar they have enough to please whomever walks in. The staff were lovely and approachable and I mention this because this can sometimes be a deal breaker for customers. They source their (wine) spirit base from the Barossa and even the tonic water and vermouth they use as mixers are Australian. Our gin offering on the night was their staple small batch 42% craft gin, the shiraz barrel 60% craft gin, and their monster 69% bathtub cut gin which should carry a warning label (great with a splash of tonic). We also got lucky and tasted a 'Christmas release' gin special with a cake like nose and obvious holiday flavours, a perfect gift or something to sip on the actual day (see photos re tasting notes). I didn't eat or drink anything on the night I didn't enjoy and I think PLC will continue to grow and attract new customers and become a regular on the Adelaide scene. I'm hoping their coffee is phenomenal. If you like a gin you need to go and if you don't just come for a look - maybe all the medals and accolades displayed around the bar will be enough for you to get curious :)

You wouldn't know it by the name, but this place is all class. Just look at the website!…read more This is a 'Rum and Members Bar'. It reportedly has the world's largest collection of fine rums. Admittedly, this is a fact I can't be sure of. I haven't been everywhere else in the world, y'see. I CAN, however, tell you that I DID try a veritable array of rum, and all of it was fine. Bear in mind, I've always been a vodka man. All other spirits are second-rate to me. (Except the green fairy, but I don't really consider THAT a spirit. It's more a monster unto itself.) But this is some good rum. The decor is great, and not at all cheap or tacky (as you'd expect from a members club), and the music complements the decorating perfectly. Though I'm not typically a fan of rum, if you've friends who love the stuff, bring them here (or be dragged along), and you'll have a gay old time. If you can claim a lounge for your own, many a deep, philosophical and ultimately meaningless conversation will be had before the night is done.

Rum is the thing at Bar Cuba (Surprise!) and though I'm not a huge fan of rum usually, they make delicious cocktails and as the saying goes, when in Cuba... The music is a mix of soul funk and jazz and the people lounging around may appear casual but their dress certainly is not. This place is booked for functions a fair way ahead so if you want to have a party here you've got to be organised. And here's a hot tip: having your gig here is not a cheap venture. If you don't have the cash you can always do as we've done in the past and gate crash more wealthy people's parties. You didn't read this but... we may have snuck in on occasion. Or better yet, subtly convince your friends to have functions here so you can attend. Yeah... do that.

It's next to the Norwood Concert Hall and easy walking distance. Brick and Motar creative had a special event on for and I was lucky enough to attend on of these workshop free events. This place is open 7 days a week from Mon-Sat 8.30-5, Sun 10-4. Independent design stores, creative workspaces, cafe, workshops + events. 49 George St, Norwood South Australia. I attended a ESTY Craft workshop and had to register online to get a placement. I attended a Friday night on the 17.06 from 6pm to 9pm. The theme was stationary, where each person receives free materials, instructions and guidance to make old-school paper stationery such as notepads, books, zines and notebooks, travel books, and it was all about being creative and book binding. This was a great social event, as many of us never bound books/note books by hand, it the guests and staff helped each other to complete out selected activity. I was greeted at the front door, received a name tag and greeted by more friendly and helpful staff. The place was cleaned, well situated and laid out with a workshop area and retail area and coffee/cafe area. We guests and customers and work on their projects while purchasing coffee/wine or nibbles. I made a japanese binding book and a traveller's note book, by selecting different papers, materials, stickers and then had to bind the book together with needle and thread. It was a fantastic experience and will probably do this again. It was fun if you are into arts and craft and social mingling. There are other events coming up, so head to their website as you can sign up for workshops/events to make soaps, stationary items, paper flowers etc or just come along to view the exhibitions and displays.

The outside of the Venue does not look like much when walking past, but when it opens up you will find a room filled with graffiti by well known street artists in Adelaide. So rad! There does not seem to be any limits with types of events you can run here. There are a couple of supporting beams in the space, so if you need it to be completely open this might not be for you. You can place staging in a couple of different spots. There seemed to be good access to power. There were some ceiling truss beams set up above the front of the stage with lighting. Not sure if that was in house, I presume that it is. I watched a DJ set there and the acoustics were good considering the placement of the stage being so close to the open entry. They had a couple of mobile bars set up that you could hire. Also good to note that there was decent access to facilities out the back and a backstage area for bands/performers. Another perk was the booths set up on the side of the venue. This is a great edition if you are running a gig here. Love booths. You can hire a bunch of furniture here as well, they are all quite well priced. And considering that you will not have to pay for delivery this is your best option. My thoughts are that you could run anything from a music show to a wedding here, depending on your taste. Unless the graffiti walls don't suit your event style. You could cover them with drapes they have for hire. Not the cheapest, but it's an option. If you are looking at including food at your event, they have a range of set menu options, which is great! Another surprise is the hire of a Food Truck on the packages. That is pretty cool!

The service is attentive and very friendly. There are only 2 red wines available by the glass, so it's not an extensive wine selection, but they are very nice wines, so I'm not complaining! I haven't seen a band here yet, but I look forward to that treat soon. It looks like it would be a magnificent place in summer sitting outside under the fairy lights, so I look forward to that too. Meanwhile, I'm very happy for it to be winter as I can't get enough of those gorgeous open fires!

Jade Monkey is going to be a great hub for live *stuff * in Adelaide…read more The performance venue fitted around 110 people with a mix of seated and standing. The main area I front of the stage is sunken, so plenty of room for dancing, or for the people around the edge to See over. An ample size stage for bands and choirs, and a huge greenroom area upstairs, that doesn't have you clambering over audience and ruining any costuming surprises. The inhouse PA is a pretty sweet inhouse system. A roof mounted projector makes for showing your slides and videos while you take up all the stage without making all the shadows too! Out in the bar side, the cracking fire and comfy couches while you knock back one of the beers from the local selection and munch down on some tasty snacks, and maybe if you're in for a bit of nostalgia, play a round or three on the pinball machine.

This is a new coffee and juice bar that has opened in Adelaide CBD, and I love it…read more They only appear to be open for breakfast and lunch, but when they are open, they are well worth a visit. They sell freshly squeezed juices that they serve in a screw top bottle, so they make the juice in the juicer, fresh, and then put it into a screw top bottle for you to take away. This would mean that you would be able to drink it later as it would not oxidise as quickly as juice that is not sealed. Their prices are very reasonable as well. I cant comment on their coffee as I am not drinking coffee at the moment - but for the juice - this is a definite must :)
