Ground Zero for live music in
Adelaide, 'The Gov' hosts some legendary local and international acts. The odd Irish
band fiddles around in the bar, while the main venue features rock, folk, jazz, blues,
salsa, reggae and dance. A huge place with an inexplicably personal vibe. Good food,
too.

mainstream. A sunken dance floor = great views from the bar!
