Delve into the unique and diverse bar scene of Adelaide, as you wander around the city. After months of research we combined Adelaide’s best laneway bars with her most interesting stories. Adelaide has some truly world class bars, but you'll have a hard time finding them. This city makes you work to discover her best parts, which is why you’ll find some of the most unique bars behind other venues, underneath laneways, or tucked into repurposed spaces. Join your experienced local guide and uncover four of these fascinating venues in one afternoon and learn what makes each one special. These clandestine watering holes have been carefully chosen for their atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious drinks. Between bars, your tour host will share all sorts of little-known facts and other “hidden” aspects of Adelaide. If all that isn’t enough, at the end of our tour, we’ll even give you a treasure map of other top food and drink venues so you can continue your exploration of Adelaide!

Absolutely must do secret bar tour in Adelaide.
As a local, it was a real treat to be a tourist in my own city, discovering hidden venues I never knew existed and learning fascinating facts and history about Adelaide. Ryan was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, engaging and an all-around great guy. The cocktail staff were exceptionally skilled, serving creative, beautifully made drinks that made the tour even more memorable.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.
How much does Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.
Is Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Adelaide?
+
On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour, Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Adelaide?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Adelaide?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour?
+
Included: Donation to local charity; In-person Guide: English; Digital map of our top Adelaide hot spots to visit after the tour ends; Exclusive discounts at the bars; and Visit 4 Different Hidden Bars. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour?
+
Meet your guide at Beehive Corner, outside the Haigh’s Chocolates Store, 2 Rundle Mall Adelaide Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Adelaide Hidden Bar Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
