I found Hellbound from a google search for wine bars near Hindmarsh Square where I was staying. a very interesting global selection of wines, with a small but quality range of wines by the glass. Staff were extremely informative and willing to spend time discussing preferences, trends, their own evaluation of wines and wineries.
I even met one of their featured winemakers, Col, from Adelina, in Clare, home of the best rieslings in the country (and pretty decent reds as well) who makes a lovely riesling (thats all I had time to taste).
The casual drop in resulted in my being over an hour late for my restaurant reservation (apologies Singh Thai restaurant, but I did get there and had a lovely meal). Highly recommended, I will definitely drop in for longer next time I'm in Adelaide. Five stars...
Read moreWhat a beautiful little addition to Rundle St. Gorgeous interior and a fab selection of wine and liquor to choose from, it is a great place to chill with friends, chat and indulge in top quality beverages. This is not the kind of venue to go to if you are after a loud, in-your-face atmosphere. It is upmarket and cosy. I went there with a diverse group of friends who have wide and varied interests, and are all very different from each other. Every single person was totally smitten with Hellbound. It really is perfect for a crowd, like my friends, that want to dress nicely, go out on the town, drink great liquor, take it slow and be home in bed by midnight :D Welcome to the neighbuorhood Hellbound....
Read moreAtmospheric as hell (heh). Wonderful wine bar, tucked away in Rundle st away from prying eyes. Descend down stairs to be met by a comfy narrow bar, packed to the walls (literally) by all the wines of the world. Being in South Australia this place offers the best we have to offer as well as a very strong international selection. We always pop in when we have some spare time in the city and it has never disappointed. Mystery glasses take a lot of the uncertainty out of the matter, especially with that many wines on one list. Worth a stop...
