Adelaide Nightlife

For such a relatively small city with a reputation for being quiet and sleepy too, Adelaide has a surprisingly vibrant nightlife. If you want a choice but don't want to stagger too far, then cruise along Rundle Street in the city centre. If you're after live music, you're in luck as Adelaide is still a big supporter of local bands. If you drink beer, ask for a 'schooner'. It's the same size as a 'midi' in New South Wales or a 'pot' in Victoria.
