supper club
Nicer term used in some more suburban areas for a swingers group
For some supper clubs, no food may be involved- if that's not your thing- you might want to decline the invitation.

A friend and I will be applying to inspect the space and potentially take it further. Fantastic little spot!Wayno wrote:From Renew Adelaide:
Renew Adelaide has an amazing opportunity to secure a basement in the heritage listed building, Bertram House.
This basement = grunge. To bring out the potential of this space, we envisage this underground gem being turned into a small bar or music venue. It is a very rare occasion that a heritage listed property with such originality and potential comes to Renew Adelaide, so for this reason, it is important that your concept will stand out from the crowd.
Inspection on 12 January at 4:00pm, applications close 17 January 2016. Click here to register to attend an inspection.

http://ripitup.com.au/food-and-drink/co ... qBgJ2ORM7BComing Soon: BRKLYN
2015 was another banner year for new bars in Adelaide, with big openings like Pink Moon Saloon, Mississippi Moon, NOLA, Peter Rabbit, Oscar Nine, Fat Controller, Gondola Gondola’s Bia Om Bar, Vinyl, Bar Torino, BadDog and The Pearl all adding to our city’s frankly ridiculous drinks scene.
But just in case you thought we couldn’t possibly cram any more new establishments into the CBD, 2016 is already off to a flying start with our first new venue announcement for the year, BRKLYN.
The latest in a new generation of East End establishments, BRKLYN will take over the site of online radio station and venue Soundpond which was put up for sale last year. Located a few doors down from other beloved venues like Sugar and Distill, the team behind BRKLYN are keeping their cards close to their chest, but they’ve told ripitup.com.au we should expect more than a straight-up bar operation.
Working with designer Matiya Marovich of Sans-Arc studios (Pink Moon Saloon, NOLA Adelaide, Gondola Gondola), BRKLYN’s fitout will pay homage to the streets of the Big Apple in some intriguing and quite literal ways. Along with a bar, the venue is set to house a few other separate but complementary endeavours operating by day. One of these is Soundpond itself, which will return in a new form as one cog in the larger venue.
“It’s still going to have a huge musical focus, because I come from a musical background,” BRKLYN co-owner Rashaad Chénia says. “With Soundpond coming along we thought it would be a good way to actually use the space with a lot of other features to get people interacting with the music.”

Aside from the influence of that concrete jungle where dreams are made of, the BRKLYN team also draw inspiration from across the Atlantic. “I used to live in London, I was born there and have lived in Adelaide for nine years or so,” Chénia says, with his business partner also working in the London bar scene. The rise of multi-use spaces in the UK proved influential when they shifted their attention back home.
“Particularly in places like Shoreditch where there’s a big culture around music, hip hop and that kind of indie scene there’s definitely things springing up,” they say. “You’ll see cafés with retail and coffee shops with hairdressers, so [we’re] definitely aiming for that multi-functional space.”
Working to a vague March opening date, the bar is already promising a focus on craft beer and cocktails, but beyond that we’ll have to wait and see.
Coming soon: Mary’s Poppin
Words by Anna Mazzone
The new year will see a new venue settle in to the ever-bustling East End of the city, with a long-awaited second gay venue for Adelaide opening in January. Mary’s Poppin is a new cocktail bar for the gay community and their friends, bringing a bottomless bag of tricks and entertainment to the city.
While the exact location is still to be revealed, we know that the new bar is opening up at the East End of the city, “just off Rundle Street”.
Stephen Craddock, the man behind Mary’s, has run LGBTIQ events all over Australia and says that Adelaide is definitely in need of a venue like this for the local community.
“Adelaide has been waiting long enough for another gay venue to open, and we finally have the answer with this one-of-a-kind cocktail bar,” says Craddock.
“Work is well underway and it’s safe to say that Mary’s Poppin is going to be a unique and special place for a wonderfully proud community. Taking full advantage of our up market East End location, our long-term vision is to deliver a fresh and new perspective for the gay friendly community.”
After starting his own LGBTIQ event agency In The Dark nearly eight years ago, Craddock is proud of the progress being made in Australia and abroad, when it comes to the gay nightlife.
“From humble beginnings, starting with four parties a year, we now produce over 80 events annually for the gay and lesbian community all over Australia and throughout Asia.”
Mary’s Poppin is planning a colourful mix of entertainment, with regular DJ’s and drag shows, which we’re sure will bring more of the vibrant late-night glitz that we’re used to seeing at the other end of the city.
“Our little bar will double as a venue with fabulous shows, to die for cocktails and wonderful nights out. With a focus on creating an environment that has something for everyone, we look forward to welcoming our new Adelaide family to Mary’s Poppin.”
Mary’s is pulling out all the stops, with word of a selfie room and a disco ball in every toilet cubicle, providing the perfect lighting for all those inevitable bathroom snaps.
“Mary’s is special, it’s our own little venue in the heart of Adelaide, and we couldn’t be more excited!”
I can almost guarantee you got it 'wrong' because there's no real correct. The last I heard was LGBTQIAQ2GQIAASCP(GSM). There's a counter movement who want to use a completely different term... which I forget. There's also GSD (Gender and Sexual Diversities).Ben wrote:ABCDEFG
I've noticed quite a number of rainbow flags outside random venues. Not quite sure what they mean, but it's nice. Also colourful.Llessur2002 wrote:Can only be good news - I wonder where it will be?
Also noticed that the re-opened Dog & Duck has a Pride flag outside. Not specifically a gay venue as far as I know but it's nice to see a bit of open inclusiveness...
The flags were up as part of Feast, though a few businesses had them up beyond that.monotonehell wrote:I can almost guarantee you got it 'wrong' because there's no real correct.

Basically the term has become so inclusive it means everyone (even those filthy straights).

I'm quietly excited for some new bars on Rundle Street. They will have to work hard to beat BadDog.
Festival time is a quiet time for most nightclubs outside the 'slash zone' around the venue hubs.ghs wrote:Looks like they'll be opening in the next month or so. I think they have the timing wrong - opening at the beginning
of autumn / winter after all the festivals have finished ????
