Overview
Bank Street Social is one of the original pioneers of Adelaide’s small bar revival, tucked beneath street level in the heart of the city. Located at 48 Hindley Street, this underground bar has built a strong following with its focus on local craft spirits, stylish cocktails, South Australian wine and beer, and its unmistakable late-night buzz.
The space itself is moody, inviting, and industrial — with raw brick walls, concrete surfaces, plush booths, and a glowing backlit bar that adds atmosphere to every pour. Neon signage, subtle lighting, and well-curated beats create an energy that shifts smoothly from after-work hangout to full-blown party as the night progresses.
The drinks list celebrates South Australian producers, with a rotating range of craft beers, an extensive selection of regional wines, and spirits from local distillers including gin, whisky, vodka, and rum. The cocktail menu is equally strong — approachable but elevated, featuring house signatures, modern twists on classics, and seasonal favourites.
Music plays a major role at Bank Street Social. Live DJs regularly bring funk, soul, house, and disco to the dancefloor, especially on weekends, turning the basement into one of Adelaide’s liveliest late-night destinations. The venue also hosts private events, tastings, and special collaborations, further cementing its place in the city’s social fabric.
Whether you’re seeking a quality cocktail, supporting local makers, or looking to dance the night away, Bank Street Social delivers authenticity, atmosphere, and fun in spades — all just a staircase away from the street.
