WINE BAR
(
www.theapothecary1878.com.au
;
118 Hindley St; 5pm-late Tue-Sat)
Classy coffee and wine
at this gorgeous chemist-turned-bar. Medicine cabinets, bentwood chairs and Parisian
marble-topped tables. Perfect first-date territory.
Colonist
PUB
(
www.colonist.com.au
; 44 The Parade, Norwood; 9am-late)
Funky countercultural boozing
on Norwood's otherwise mainstream Parade. Wonderfully well-worn, and bedecked in
Gustav Klimt-style murals. Packed after Norwood FC (Aussie Rules football) games
empty out from the ground across the road.
Universal Wine Bar
WINE BAR

; 285 Rundle St; noon-late)
A snappy crowd clocks in to this
stalwart bar to select from 400-plus South Australian and international wines, and a
menu (mains $19 to $36) packed with SA produce. 'The scene is very Italian', says the
barman.
Daniel O'Connell
PUB
(
www.danieloconnell.com.au
; 165 Tynte St, North Adelaide; 11am-midnight)
An 1881 Irish pub
without a whiff of kitsch Celtic cash-in: just great Guinness, open fires, acoustic music
and a house-sized pepper tree in the beer garden (166 years old and counting).
