gday everyone, i'm flying over to adelaide on tuesday for the clipsal 500 and wouldnt mind checking out some night spots, so my question is where is a few good places to go out and on what nights? cheers max

hindley street, and rundle street in the city are where most of the clubs etc are,

cheers mate, any specific that are good?

There's so many places, just go for a walk, they are all bunched together in the city down a few streets, tons of places, depends if you want a pub/bar or nightclub style. Also, it's directly accross the road from the clipsal, so you can just walk there after. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'd reccomend HQ, its basically the place to be, corner of North Terrace and West Terrace

lol personally hate that place, but if entry fees, overpriced drinks and loud dance music that means you can't even talk to the person next to you is your thing, then perfect. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Alma on a thursday night cranks, located in Norwood, pub/nightclub style, pokies and beergarden located within the premises

Depends what style of night club you want to go to, as said HQ is the place to be these days, then thers other places like church sting hole, not to sure if St pauls is still open but that place was good

cheers guys, i'll have a wander around and have a look at a few.

Saturday nite is the main nite all places are open, everything is all with in walking distance

church is ok, i prefer the londoner

church has gone down hill, London is good

HQ is adelaides biggest club. Quality dance music , with a choice of dance music and dance music. Drinks are pricey but as i said , its adelaides biggest club with the best looking/dressed (but a bit snobby) people. (So nor ferals) Its cheaper entry b4 12 (i think $10 b4 12 and $15 after) Deffinatly worth a look. I go there myself regulary enough. Havent been to Tonic for about a year but if your of ethicnic (greek/italian) decent and like RnB thats the club for you. Thats Pretty classy as well (but its been a year so it could have changed) Tonic is on the square next to hindly street. If you want a good place to start the night and get pissed quick and pick up then you cant go past Church. Free entry b4 12 and 2 for the price of 1 drinks from 12-1. Club dies down after 1 and u gotta leave the place no latter than 3. After 3 all the hot chick have been picked up and taken home and its a sea of c ock. But if your enjoying your night then no point leaving. (Most times i goto town involves going to church for the cheap drinks) Church is a side street off rundle street. Dont like London. Drunk w ankers trying to pick up my g/f. They say cheap drinks but i didnt think so. Good for buying shots and getting the colourful plastic shot glasses and accidently going home with them. Red Square. Been there a few times. Pay entry and a bit rich for what you get. Good pick up joint. Its an RnB place. Heaps of africans and indians inside. Worth cheaking if you want to pay entry. Red is on hindley street. Base ment is a hole. Its free entry and its the place u go walk in , buy a drink and walk out again. Basically a good drink stop place when traveling from church to hq. Base is hindley street opposite red square. Ive always liked Stag. Its a pub that wants to be a club but its really small. Its just nice and comfortable and its drink prices are decent and the chicks that go there are decent. Stag's on the far end of rundel street on the corner. As someone stages St Pauls is good. I went there late last year. They use the premisies for raves as well so have to cheak there not doing that there when ur down. (Unless you want to pay $50 entry). More ravey kinda dance music. Only been there with g/f so cant say chick wise :P. Thats harder to find cause its not on the main "Loop" Basically if you stick to Hindley street and Rundle street you cant go wrong. But there is Rundle mall between the 2 streets so its a bit of a walk. Hindly is more the ruffer of the streets where Rundle is your cafe kinda area.

summed up nicely spirit77 But you forgot about iso bar is the place to go if you want to pick up underage chicks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

or go to the arkaba if you wanna pick up the senior women!

lol If your more into pubs than clubs then Rundle st is the best, Austral/Elephant/Stag/PJs are all there, 5min walk from the clipsal 500 Just follow the crowds after the concerts towards the city and you will be fine If your in general admin the Turn 9 is a sweet spot to watch, ive seen heaps of massive crashes there including radisich in qualifying 2 years ago and skaife last year Try and find some drunk blokes that have corporate passes and you might be able to sneak into a corporate box Free food/booze Its going to be 40c on friday so take heaps of water with you, its about $4 a bottle there....

Pub wise theres also Crown and Ancor (crankor) Its an alternate pub. Somethines goth, punks , nerds , unis students etc , really different crowd there. Thats a side street off rundle. To add to jeff's list. Also for soemthing different , You have to goto "The Elephant Walk" It opens after 8 and its on Melbourn street. Its a cafe kinda place where you buy banana splits and stuff like that. Has a very rustic feel about it. Very wiked. Also the Grand at glenelg is a good pub. You can catch a tram from the city to glenelg. Glenelg is adelaide's piss poor attempt at copying the gold coast , but its still a good beach , and good eating out area.
