linen, marina views, super service and a con-
temporary menu of tapas-style mezze plates −
you wouldn’t find anything this classy on
Santorini. The grilled Cyprian haloumi with
sweetened raisins and salty pistachio crum-
ble are sublime.

Self-Catering
Central ̈Market ̈ MARKET$

GougerSt; h7am-5�30pmTue, 9am-5�30pmWed &
Thu, 7am-9pmFri, 7am-3pmSat) This place is an
exercise in sensory bombardment: a barrage
of smells, colours and yodelling stallholders
selling fresh vegetables, breads, cheeses, sea-
food and gourmet produce. There are cafes,
hectic food courts and a supermarket here
as well.

IGA ̈North ̈Adelaide ̈ SUPERMARKET$
(Map p728;www �iga �net �au; 113 O’ConnellSt, North
Adelaide;h8am-10pm) Look for the nifty deli/
butcher counter out the front.

6 ̈Drinking ̈& ̈Nightlife


Pubs ̈& ̈Bars
For a true Adelaide experience, head for the
bar and order a schooner of Coopers − the

local brew − or a glass of SA’s impressive
wine. Rundle St has a few iconic pubs, while
along Hindley St in the West End, grunge
and red-light sleaze collide with student
energy and groovy bars. Most bars close on
Monday.

oExeter ̈ PUB
(Map  p718; %08-8223 2623; www �theexeter�com �
au; 246 RundleSt; h11am-late) The best pub in
the city, this legendary boozer attracts an ec-
lectic mix of postwork, punk and uni drink-
ers, shaking the day off their backs. Pull up
a stool or a table in the grungy beer garden
and settle in for the evening. Original music
nightly; no pokies. Book for curry nights in
the upstairs restaurant (usually Wednesdays).

Grace ̈Emily ̈ PUB
(Map p718; www �graceemilyhotel�com �au; 232 Way-
mouthSt; h4pm-late) Duking it out with the
Exeter for the title of ‘Adelaide’s Best Pub’ (it
pains us to separate the two) the ‘Gracie’ has
live music most nights, featuring up-and-
coming Australian acts. Inside it’s all kooky
’50s-meets-voodoo decor, open fires and
great beers. Regular cult cinema and open
mic nights; no pokies. Look for the UFO on
the roof.
