Botanic Bar

Like many of the pubs here in Adelaide, this pub has gone through numerous transformations since I first visited the night-club in the basement with some friends from work (and a pretty memorable night that was as well). That night-club is now long gone, and in my recent visit, so has the bar that used to be out the back (that had a 'hidden' bar attached to that) which has been replaced by a restaurant. All the bar is now is a small, crowded, room out the front with a decidedly Napoleonic Theme (due to the two paintings of Napoleon on the wall, and another painting depicting a scene from the French revolution). Last time I was here it appeared to be frequented by uni students, but even that has changed in the two years since as it now has a somewhat more classier atmosphere. Despite all that, the memories of this pub will certainly not die away too soon.

One of the greats! Perfect location for an after work drink. Very fabulous cocktail list, generally a set of good looking bar staff, surrounded by a crowd full of hotties. Great vibe and very classy, a must check out.

I love coming here for my cocktail fix - if you want something a bit out of the ordinary they will get creative. I really wanted a cocktail with chilli in it and they came up with the goods. Great atmosphere for drinks.

Great bar to hang out with friends in a relaxed way, very wide drink menu.

Great location, weekend nights Go pretty well to to start off a great night.

Great location but you're like sardines at the Botanic Bar. Luckily the wide range of booze makes up for it! Nice staff always willing to help. Definitely reccommneded if you want to sit outside on a sunny Friday afternoon and watch the world go by.
