About The Laneway Social

The Laneway Social is a modern pub and bar on Ebenezer Place in the East End of the Adelaide CBD. Downstairs there is a restaurant, a main bar and an outdoor laneway area, with a dedicated function room upstairs. The Ebenezer Room is the main event space, on the first floor with heritage exposed brick, soft lighting, a private bar, private bathrooms and its own smoking balcony. It takes 120 for cocktails or 60 seated, with a projector, wireless microphones and AUX connection, but it is reached by stairs only. The main bar works as a semi-private area for 60 standing or a single long table for 30, with wheelchair access and two TVs. Outside, the Laneway Patio is a fenced, covered area with heaters and misters for 80 standing or 40 seated. The sunlit Dining Room seats up to 22 at one long table for set or reduced menus, and has no minimum spend. From Sunday to Thursday the whole venue can be taken over for up to 330 guests, with a dedicated event host and custom drinks. The venue hosts birthdays, including 18ths and 21sts, as well as corporate events, product launches and social functions. Functions run for up to five hours and finish by 12:30am.
