The epitome of a speakeasy. Behind the Coca Cola machine adjacent to Loulou’s bistro is an incognito entrance to one of the trendiest speakeasies around Adelaide’s Salon. The vibe is very sexy and retro and a great spot for an all around experience with cocktails and incredible performances.

The Woo Woo

This speakeasy downstairs from the legendary Times Square location, The Mean Fiddler, is such a fun overall experience. After sharing the password to the intercom at the door you walk through an old retro sex shop and into a time capsule 80s diner. The room is filled with nostalgia and a great ambiance. The cocktails are also super fun to add to the experience, from their names to their suggested “methods” of taking shots, checking out the Woo Woo is definitely a good time

DIMES Seven24 Club

This members only lounge downstairs from the Gansevort Hotel gives you that where the cool kids come to hang feel. As a members only space, and available for private parties, if you’re lucky enough to make it into DIMES it has that exclusive feel to it. With great retro decor and even a little private bowling alley.
