What to do??? (In Adelaide)

So next week (friday the 4th) i'm venturing to Adelaide for the first time for BDO & the rest of the weekend.
So instead of wandering around like a lost dog and going to random places, some advice please on the best places to head out on the town for the evening!

Good places to eat and any other tips also appreciated.

Cheers

What music are you into?

You should hit Club 58.

Lol.

Ditto.

This weekend I'll be down, hiring a car and staying in north radelaide.

Ideally I'd like to venture to langhorne creek, but it seems quite out of the way?

Also I'm looking for areas to live, north Adelaide has been recommended by a few people (hence staying there) is there anywhere else? I'm 29 ideally would prefer to live in a share house with professionals, surrounded by similar aged peeps, somewhere similar to glebe in Sydney, cafes, restaurants, bit alternate type area.

Are you moving to adelaide for good bracko?

It's about an hours drive from the city. If its wineries you wanna check out theres plenty in the adelaide hills that are closer, or Mclaren Vale.

North Adelaide would be expensive, but offers what you are after (maybe not very alternative - bit snobby). Also look at Norwood, somewhere near the parade.

it's looking likely... contracts haven't signed yet, and this trip is a taster. But I think i will, the job is an interesting project for a few years.

Thanks Pap, Norwood has been recommended as well. I'll be having breakfast there one morning and having a bit of a walk around, cheers though, I'd forgotten about it.

I'd argue North Adelaide is perhaps less snobby than Norwood. Sure, North Adelaide (and suburbs like Medindie / Walkerville to the immediate east) are the centre of Old Adelaide Money, but there are plenty of university students and professionals living in North Adelaide too. The bars and restaurants in North Adelaide >> than those in Norwood imo. Yakitori Takumi FTW. It definitely meets your criteria for restaurants / cafes culture. Norwood also meets the criteria, but the cafes tend to be filled more with a lower North Shore demographic instead of a Glebe / Darlinghurst demographic.

You could also live in the city itself, pretty much whereever you stay will have easy walking access to cafe/restaurant/bar culture (East Terrace, Rundle St, Hindley St, Gouger St etc).

Bracko, if you are staying North Adelaide and are there on Sunday afternoon/evening, the Lion Hotel on Melbourne St has a massive party night (band / DJs / lots of hot girls etc) that's guaranteed a hangover the next morning.

Befor going perth Im going to Adelaide if someone could show me the city or give me some advices will be really great.

Fly out 5pm sunday :(

Not keen on lwr north shore types!

Davoren park.

Rah rah rahhhh... hilarious!

Hmm... I like the city centre :) I think I could cope here for a while. looks like it could be a bit tough to break into social circles though.

North Adelaide tonight and for the weekend. Going to glenelg, mt. Lofty, Ade hills and possibly some other places pending time.

just come hang out with the techno crew, theres a crapload of people (probably not by melb/syd standards), and they're all amazing!!!
:hooray::hooray:
Sugar/cuckoo/dragonfly is where its at.

Dragonfly in port? I've been advised to stay away from port :p sugar looks cool :)

Dragonfly is in the centre of the city, on Victoria Squar, North East Corner. Just go to the Hilton and walk north and listen for the sweet drums.

Done. Not sure when I actually move here, but now I've seen the place I'd like to just get it over and done with and get down here sooner than later.

will you be here in time for the next electronic soul?
If so, you'll probably meet most of the adelaide crew there :bl:

so most of the clubbing community fit in one club? ... :P ... ;)

doubtful I'll be there in May, as much as I'd love to be... now I've seen the city and decided that I'm going to go ahead with the move, I want it to happen.

hahaha, i just typed out an explanation and figured that you'll see when you get here... all good, by the time you get here, they'll most likely be having the next electronic soul anyway :D
Theres usually stuff on most weekends,but Electronic Soul is pretty quality and theres a nice variation of electronic music over the course of the night :)

well considering a quick calculation has just over 9,000 people in the right age group, potentially liking electronic music, not having kids (although generally you people seem to breed young, potentially due to lack of clubs....?!?) and being of the right socio-economic area to want to spend money on alcohol and dancing in dark rooms I'm getting the feeling you could fit adelaide's clubbing community in one club :P

This will be fun!!!
What kind of music do you like specifically Bracko?

there's not much I don't like, but specifically tech, minimal to banging, most house, and tRaNcE :-D

Molecular @ cushdy every Friday night. For all things house.

Hey, sorry for ressurecting an old thread but I was wondering... are Sugar, Cuckoo and Dragonfly have decent weekly events, techno-wise, or is it just every now and then? What do they normally have?

Cuckoo play techno on saturday nights

Sugar when they have a techno international, or later on normal sat nights i think derek lang plays some tech

Dragonfly have Techno Union, which is on every couple of months. Usually on a sat night you will hear minimal and deep stuff

Sweet, so that basically any Saturday night that doesn't have a named event on, I'll have somewhere I can go!

I'll have to organise an event to get the girls from work out to one of those... they've been going to Savvy lately :meh:
Not saying that I'm usually invited anyway, though, ha ha ha

There's techno at the Astral Lotus parties. Reconnect at end of year for sure :thumb:
