This place has changed a lot since it was an inner-city night-club. Well, it still could be but I have not been down here at night for a long time and the last time I came here at night I was not really all that impressed. As a restaurant it is not that bad and had come here a couple of times to have lunch on Friday. In fact they made a pretty decent schnitzel, and the prices were bad either. Being an underground restaurant (and night-club) means that there is no outdoor area so if you want to have a cigarette you have to go out the front, and the 3am lockout probably makes things more difficult. In the end, this used to be one of my favourite spots in Adelaide when I was much younger, but it doesn't really thrill me all that much anymore (though I am surprised I didn't come here much during my uni days).
This place is pretty dark and dank, underground but there have been some decent renovations recently which may have lightened the atmosphere up a bit more. Good booths for privacy and a pool table, reknwned by uni students as a good place to get a jug of Midori Illusions.
