👍👍 Fantastic find, unique, low profile bar. From the interior design, great live music and decent prices to the amazing collection of whisky, bourbon and rum, this place will see a lot of me... People often mention music, great, live, Adelaide, night, whiskey,

    Gorgeous little place with a great collection of whiskies! Zak, the owner is a fantastic bloke who's only more than happy to indulge his guests. Don't let the unassuming entry door fool you. Enter and enjoy this fabulous place with your friends!

    What a place with a very extensive list of whiskeys.... and no cocktails. Blues music. Give yourself some time as you lose plenty at this place. Brilliant give it a go

    Nice little bar that's not in a "hot spot". So it is relatively easy to get a table/booth. I will note that it is mostly whiskey bar in case anyone misses that point. Good vibe. But the live music was a tad bit loud.

    It was a bit hard to find the bar as we did not see any signs outside. Gave it a bit of speak-easy feel. Would have liked to see some drinks menu (we did not have one, and all of us were noobs there) Nice music and ambience; had a great time.

    Really cool atmosphere and range of drinks, great service from staff and a cool location makes this one of the coolest spots in Adelaide. Highly recommended.

    Low key, nice ambiance and excellent selection of whiskies. This place has a character. There is live music sometimes. Definitely a must visit.

    Really cool atmosphere, about as speak-easy as you can get these days. We were a bit disappointment at the refusal of some of our drink requests, but otherwise had a decent time.

    Great place for a late night quiet drink. If the light is on - they're home! Would definitely recommend a visit and will definitely return. Did not eat so cannot give a rating, barman was knowledgeable and friendly. Really cool atmosphere,

    Awesome hosts and a great range of whiskies to work your way through

  • 5/5 Noémie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place especially if you're into whiskey! The owner was really friendly, we were only passing through but I would go back anytime

  • 5/5 Boo z. 1 year ago on Google
    Coolest place in Adelaide, you won't be disappointed if you are a lover of whiskey.

  • 1/5 Richard M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great range of whiskey but bar staff could do with some lessons in manners and getting a personality!

  • 4/5 JONK3R 2 years ago on Google
    Great little whisky pub. Dark as a mofo, so you better know what you want to drink before you get there. Staff know what they’re doing, great for a double date but very small booths so not good for groups. No cocktails, just on the rocks and mixers with a live band

  • 5/5 Taylor de Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the best night just sitting at the bar drinking great rye and whisky. The bartenders are amazing and the music was on point

  • 5/5 Billie 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best bar I have ever been to. No contest. The bartender(owner?), Zac, is a true gentleman and will take the time to explain and shepherd you through the astonishing array on offer. It was truely a night to remember and cherish. Can’t wait until you open a sister bar in Brisbane (please!)

  • 5/5 Jane H. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant bar! Amazing drinks, good music and lighting and lovely owner. One of the best if not the best bar in Adelaide. Can't believe we'd never been before now. Shall be back.

  • 5/5 Kathy P. 3 years ago on Google
    Sensational bar, Zach the bar man was awesome.... Gotta go back.....

  • 5/5 Nick van H. 6 years ago on Google
    Whisky and run sours. Reasonably priced too. Good night out, even had live music.

  • 5/5 Russell K. 3 years ago on Google
    What a find! Don’t be put off by the lack on clear entrance, once you’re inside you’ll find an amazing range of drinks and live music and great vibe - highky recommend!

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 2 years ago on Google
    110% my jam. Well stocked bar, music suits the venue/theme and the right volume.

  • 5/5 David Z. 2 years ago on Google
    No night in Adelaide is complete without a stop here. Awesome selection and fairly priced.

  • 5/5 Jack O. 3 years ago on Google
    Zach is the man! Amazing ambience. Expert knowledge and explained every minute detail about the drink. We shall return!

    Absolutely loved the Baddog bar vibe. Low-lit, Tennessee-style whiskey bar where you can sit at the counter and throw stories back and forth with the staff, while twangy out-west country plays in the background. Had a great time sipping on whiskey sours and noodling around on one of the wall-hanging cigar box guitars. Only spent two nights here in Adelaide but I think we found the best bar in town.
