In the meantime visit the Moseley on Jetty Road)"

"Step through the door of this teppanyaki joint and you won't feel like you're in a Japanese restaurant at all, rather an old bank with all the characteristics and mannerisms to follow. Gold marble pillars surround a central teppanyaki table with the owners mixing together French sensibility with whiz bang teppanyaki skills.It's safe to say Erato's vibe is a little different to most Japanese restaurants. 21 King William Street, Adelaide"

"21 King William Street, 5000, Adelaide (SA)"

Tastings of entry-level wines are free."

"Operated by The Sparkke Change Beverage Company, Sparkke at the Whitmore is all about individuality, social equity, forward thinking, and inclusivity. What sets Sparkke apart is their character – they are a female-led BrewPub, stocking Sparkke’s 100% natural beverages among the classics. Their rooftop is expansive and colourful, with plenty of seating for parties big and small."

"The recently rejuvenated Whitmore hotel has brought this rooftop bar to life sparking change and making heads turn. Their rooftop terrace is the perfect place to spend balmy summer afternoons that stretch into the night. Overlooking the treetops of Whitmore Square, the female-led brewhouse has a laidback vibe and colourful attitude."

"Renowned as one of Adelaide’s original microbreweries, from a rental property’s shed in the Barossa Valley, to a large warehouse in Royal Park, Big Shed Brewing Concern has certainly come a long way. Creating an array of weird but wonderfully named and tasty craft beers expect everything from the F-Yeah American Pale Ale, Californiacator West Coast IPA and Frankenbrown American Brown Ale amongst many more. Under the guidance of the Big Shed Brewing Concern team, for your visit we’d recommend partaking in the Ultimate Brewday Experience where you can get down and dirty lugging hoses, taking samples and understanding the hands-on nature of the job."

"Following the suggested picturesque path, trail along Greenhill Road, around the edges of the Cleland Conservation Park, and soon enough you will arrive in a tiny town called Uraidla. Only the essentials are present here: a primary school, post office, bakery, hotel and a brewery (as we said, just the essentials). The latter three are all owned by the same company with the brewery housed inside the bakery."
