The Howling Owl

The Howling Owl is Adelaide’s premier gin den located just off Rundle Street at the heart of Adelaide’s East End. Discover over 220 small batch gin varieties from around the world, and if gin isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy a wide selection of whisky, SA craft beer, and local boutique wine. The nibbles menu features delicious toasties, pizzas, and many locally sourced cheese and grazing boards.

Jack and Jill’s Bar and Restaurant

Jack & Jill’s Bar & Restaurant joins a long list of superb old and new food options along Pirie Street, offering aspects of French, American and Asian cuisines, including vegetarian and vegan options. Wine, beer, and spirits have also been hand selected for diners and the divine menu is designed for sharing. With a 300-person capacity for functions and events, and a Basement Bar downstairs that acts a live music and gigs venue, Jack & Jill’s has something for everyone!

Great staff, cool venue, only the best music and sounds.”
