Drink up, Adelaide!

Formerly a tobacconist, this sweet venue on Grote Street is French at heart and rather ooh-la-la. Glitzy drapes in the street window look more than a little Moulin Rouge-esque. They also hint at the golden theme that lies inside. Look around and you'll spot gold lampshades and candle-holders, gilt frames and more glimmering curtains. This wine bar and lounge has its fair share of sparkle.
