Why it's worth checking out
Hains & Co sits on Gilbert Place in the heart of the Adelaide CBD, a characterful cocktail bar with a distinctive nautical, maritime-inspired theme. Part of the city's renowned small-bar scene, it's become a much-loved spot — the kind of atmospheric, in-the-know venue that makes for a memorable drink in the centre of town.
The appeal is that combination of expertly made cocktails and a genuinely characterful setting, full of seafaring charm and personality. It's an ideal spot for a special drink, a catch-up or settling in for the evening, and the strong following speaks to a bar that delivers on both the drinks and the atmosphere.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Cocktail lists, opening hours and any booking arrangements vary, and a popular small bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly if you're heading out with a group or want to settle in on a busy night and make the most of the cocktails and the characterful surrounds.
