This place is an exercise in sensory bombardment: a barrage of
smells, colours and yodelling stallholders selling fresh vegetables, breads, cheeses, sea-
food and gourmet produce. There are cafes, hectic food courts and a supermarket here as
well.

Drinking & Nightlife
Pubs & Bars
For a true Adelaide experience, head for the bar and order a schooner of Coopers − the
local brew − or a glass of SA's impressive wine. Rundle St has a few iconic pubs, while
along Hindley St in the West End, grunge and red-light sleaze collide with student energy
and groovy bars. Most bars close on Monday.

Exeter
PUB
( 08-8223 2623;
www.theexeter.com.au
; 246 Rundle St; 11am-late)
The best pub in the
city, this legendary boozer attracts an eclectic mix of postwork, punk and uni drinkers,
shaking the day off their backs. Pull up a stool or a table in the grungy beer garden and
settle in for the evening. Original music nightly; no pokies. Book for curry nights in the
upstairs restaurant (usually Wednesdays).
