My oh my, where is time going Adelaide? We are into the start of March and there is so much left to do and see. We hope that you have been making the most out of this festive season. In case you haven’t and you need help finding the best, here is the next guide to help you pick the best venues and offers of the Adelaide Fringe. With this trusty guide you’ll be able to keep your finger on that ever racing pulse.
THE GC
Why do we love this venue?
Was nicht zu lieben? Beer, sausages, pretzels and men in tights playing Accordions is enough to keep us all happy! The German Club has been a old favourite of Adelaideians for many of years. What is there to do you do at the GC, well… the weekends are the best here for a few steins and attempting to copy German Folk dancing. There is live music every Friday night for you to give this a go!
The exciting thing about The GC is that in the last year it is growing and changing very rapidly. Be on the look out for a improved bar selection (*wink, wink… yes more beers) and more live entertainment.
What is the best on the menu here? Well, it does change around a bit, but we recommend ordering anything from the Wurst Menu or take on the Schweinshaxe (Crispy Pork Hock perved with mashed potato, sauerkraut, mustard and Green Salad.

What can you see here during the Adelaide Fringe? Great thing about this Venue is that it is big. Which means more space for shows! Check out the Studio, Lounge, Showroom One & Cellar
THE JADE
Why do we love this venue?
After a tough run from their previous home on Twin Street, The Jade’s following supported & helped them to re-locate to this fine Heritage Building on Flinders Street. It took them around a year to find a new home. But, it was well worth the wait. This Venue is now like your home away from home. No matter the season, an ol’ building like this just has that comforting feeling about it.
Another exciting development for The Jade is that it is no longer just a music venue. It’s now one of our favourite places for food, craft beer and boutique wines! Thanks to Phat Buddha Rolls’ Cambodian Kitchen, they are cooking up a range of burgers to banh mi.
Any special offers? From 4-6pm Thursdays & Fridays you get $6 pint of Coopers Pale or Gin
What can you see here during the Adelaide Fringe? From Cabaret to Children’s Theatre, The Jade has something to suit everyone this Fringe!
THE GRACE EMILY HOTEL
Why do we love this venue?
The Grace is the home of South Australian emerging artists. That little stage out back has been the home to many local and national artists. From open mic night on your Monday, to gigs on the weekends. You know that you are in for a good night at The Grace. And, it is definitely earned it’s name as the Adelaide’s “pub with a heart”.
What will you see here? A bar that looks like you have always wanted your bedroom to look like. Collections of all sorts of memorabilia, antiques and a pretty handsome deer head. One thing you have to tip your hat to, is this pub has stood strong without having to introduce gambling. It’s got a strong following, and we are sure it always will with cool tunes and drinks flowing.

PUBLISHED ARTHOUSE
Why do we love this venue?
Just in case you didn’t know, this is where all the cool kids in town hang out. The Published Arthouse is well earning a reputation as being one of the hottest Venues to host events. Whether than means you have a wedding coming up, work function or a gig, you will need to wait in line to get a hold of this Venue. Golden Era Records and the Adelaide Fringe have made the Published Arthouse their home for launches.
Why is it so special? This warehouse is just so damn cool. It is the showcase of pieces from a range of world-class graffiti artists. You couldn’t get a better backdrop to your event anywhere else! When you see an event hosted here, you will know why it’s the new and upcoming place to hang out in Adelaide.

BAROSSA VALLEY BREWING
Why do we love this venue?
Our hearts were stolen as soon as we heard the words uttered… “Chocolate and Coffee Stout”. Ohhh you crafty brewed devil you!
But, it’s not only about the Stout; What impresses us about this brewery is that there is something here to suit everyone from beer, ginger to cider. And yes, you will find a drop of vino from local wineries as well. This brewhouse is all about supporting your local. They source as many ingredients as they can locally for the beer & the food.
Love a brewer who is creative, be sure to ask to try their current Seasonal brew, the Barossa Smoke. It’s bang on with a delicious Reuben Sandwich in the Beergarden. There is no better way to relax on a weekend; beer in hand, comfortable seating and a view of the park.

What can you see here during the Adelaide Fringe?
Fringe is everywhere! Any excuse to jump in your car and head to the Barossa. Is it wine or beer and then your in the clear? Or is it beer than wine and your feeling fine? Maybe we should just settle it with a Wine vs. Beer Degustation. You will enjoy a 5 course meal paired with both beer & wine!
