There are two pubs in Adelaide called the Exter, a trendy one in the city, and one in Semaphore that is trying to be a trendy one, though that attempt is undermined by the existence of the pokie machines.

The second time was a little better though, and my friend even discovered that they had used a door as a table top, though I am still trying to work out if they were trying to be trendy, or are simply cheap. At least they have live bands, though since it is one of the ALH pubs I suspect they are not the indy quality that you would expect from the Exeter in the city. read more
