I've been told that on an evening there is NOTHING to do in Adelaide.

Not talking night clubs but wondered if there is somewhere to let you hair down, similiar to O'Neills?? Bar with dance area...

I've been told everywhere closes at 9pm, there are no such things as family pubs and that couples, as a general rule of thumb, would rather have a night in then the occassional night out, unlike me and Mrs Bill.

All comments welcomed, good and bad.

Thanks

Bill

Thanks Rooksie I do visit there occassionally.

It's a very good site and full of valuable information but it can be a little bit too fluffy and rosie at times and I want to hear all points of view, good and bad.

We have been in Adelaide for 10 months and can say that nearly everyone we know would rather stay in once married. We ventured out and when we mentioned we had been out for the evening it was met with lots of oh how come and haven't done that for years. I think Adelaide is not for those with any interest in any sort of night life. I would consider looking at either Melbourne or elsewhere in Australia.

I was there 3 years ago and had a nice thai meal till nearly midnight then went across the road to a bar for drinks , it was midweek and not far from the shopping centre/main street .

Yes you can go to a nice restaurant and there are many but if you want a vibrant nightlife then I would re-consider. We have been living here and find that speaking to Adelaidians they say Adelaide is more like a country town not a big city and therefore the nightlife reflects this.

Thanks for the info.

Conflicting so far but I wanted different points of view.

I hope you and hubby still venture out when you get the chance mistysunshine, they were probably more jealous then shocked. From what I hear of the TV not much worth staying in for!
