About Electra
Electra occupies a heritage building on King William Street in the Adelaide CBD that once served as a base for the overland telegraph. It now runs as a bar, kitchen and function venue over three levels, with an in-house events team. On the ground floor, the Chamber Bar has ornate plasterwork, a marble bar, large booths and ceilings about 30 feet high, taking 60 seated or 90 for cocktails. The open-air Garden Bar, framed by raw brick and hanging plants, holds up to 180, and the two combine for up to 270. The Post Masters Quarters is a smaller lounge-style room for up to 40 standing, or 15 as a private dining room. Level One is a light-filled event space with banquettes and French doors to a private balcony, seating 80 or holding 120 standing. Level Two splits into the East Side, styled like a loft apartment, and the West Side, with industrial lighting and exposed brick. Each takes about 100 standing, and together they hold 134 for a banquet or 200 for cocktails, with private bars, balconies, screens and wireless microphones. Food runs from canapé packages and grazing tables to sharing menus and plated two or three course dinners, with dietary needs catered for. Drinks packages run from two to five hours across three tiers, with spirit and spritz add-ons. Electra pitches its rooms at corporate drinks, birthdays and weddings. Catering choices are confirmed two weeks out, with final numbers and dietaries one week before.
