The Union

Every weekend, DJs are spinning funk, house, pop, and rock at The Union, while you enjoy a cold beer or a tasty cocktail by the 30-metre long bar. There are about 12 beers on tap to choose from, including both imported and hand-crafted Australian beers. The menu ranges from traditional pub food to modern Australian creations.

Bars & Nightlife

Bars and pubs can be found all over Adelaide, as drinking beer and wine is something of an Aussie national pastime. Many of these establishments are housed in fine historic buildings and also offer good local food. Nightlife in Adelaide is confined to certain streets, whereas some parts of the centre become quite deserted in the evening. The centres of the action are Hindley Street with its brasher and neon-lit strip and Rundle Street with its more bohemian pubs and bars. The beach suburb of Glenelg also has a lively and youthful scene both during the day and night.
