About Bank Street Social

Bank Street Social is a basement bar on Hindley Street in the West End of the Adelaide CBD. It is known for its long back bar of more than 300 spirits, with a strong lean towards gin and whisky, and resident DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. From Sunday to Thursday the whole underground venue can be hired exclusively for up to 200 guests. That suits milestone birthdays, engagement parties, product launches and end-of-year work parties. On any night, groups can book the three booths together for 30 to 50 guests, with no room hire fee or minimum spend from Sunday to Thursday. The Loft is a semi-private mezzanine above the main bar for 8 to 18, set up mostly for seated groups. Function food covers canapés, shared stone-baked pizzas and chef's boards, and the menu can be adjusted on request. Dietary needs can be catered for when you let the events team know. Drinks can run on a beverage package or a bar tab, where you choose what is poured and set the limit. Extras include a hosted whisky or gin tasting, a cocktail class, a bespoke cocktail or a Champagne tower. The bar can supply a DJ at $120 an hour or a photographer at $200 an hour, and you can talk to the team about bringing your own. A microphone and a ceiling projector with a pull-down screen are available for speeches and presentations.
