Why it's worth checking out
The Laneway Social sits on Ebenezer Place in the Adelaide CBD's vibrant East End, one of the city's liveliest little laneway dining-and-drinking strips. A lively bar, it's earned a big following for its good drinks, quality food and buzzing, characterful atmosphere — the kind of fun, sociable spot that's become a genuine favourite for a night out on the popular Ebenezer Place strip.
The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a good food offering and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere in a prime East End laneway location, ideal for drinks with friends, a casual feed or a fun night out. On a buzzing strip like Ebenezer Place, a quality bar with genuine character really stands out, and the Laneway Social has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 3,400 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Drinks lists, menus, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a drink, a bite and a buzzing atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in down Ebenezer Place in the East End.
