Why it's worth checking out
Part Time Lover sits down Paul Kelly Lane in the Adelaide CBD, in the city's buzzing west-end laneway scene around Peel and Leigh streets. It's become one of the area's most popular spots — a stylish, atmospheric venue that's equally at home for drinks, a meal or a night that drifts from one into the other.
The draw is the vibe and the location: a laneway hideaway right in the thick of Adelaide's best small-bar district, the kind of place that pulls a crowd and keeps the energy up. In a precinct famous for its venues, standing out takes more than an address, and Part Time Lover has clearly managed it.
With a 4.8 rating from nearly 2,000 reviews, it's firmly won over Adelaide's going-out crowd. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular west-end venue fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're planning to eat or bringing a larger group.
