Mr. Goodbar — Restaurant in Adelaide

This used to be a really cool spot to hang out. After a hiatus of around a year, I dropped past tonight for a last drink after a family meal before heading home with my Mum, Dad and girlfriend. Everything started off well and our first round of cocktails were as expected, awesome. We were then told last drinks were being called. After ordering at the bar, the bartender (turned out to be the manager as we found out later) brought us our drinks and ended the round with a meek ‘and also, don’t touch my girlfriend’ statement aimed at my dad. Perplexed, we took a moment to take in what had just been said, but by the time we concurred that what had just been said was actually real, he’d disappeared. It turns out that at the bar, the bar manager’s girlfriend struck up a conversation with my dad, and upon walking away, he wished her a good night and brushed her shoulder. The bartender was furious at this and had expressed it in a feeble way as he walked away from serving us our drinks. We were then separately told by the friendly security guard we had 5 minutes to finish our drinks and get out, as their liquor license was ending. As we finished our drinks and were ushered out, we were greeted by the dulcet tones of the bar manager screaming ‘you fcking cnts’ as we walked down the stairs. I don’t know what kind of staff changes have occurred since I last visited and Olly was managing the bar, but calling a 74 year old man with his wife, son and partner out for a drink a ‘fcking cnt’ is definitely not something taught at bar school. If you really want this insecure Karen experience, I would highly recommend Mr Goodbar. Otherwise, I’d probably steer clear, less you be told to order a drink and down it in under 10 minutes, accused of sexual assault and yelled expletives at as you leave whilst just enjoying your drink with your family. Another warm hospitality experience from an experienced bartender such as the man with the...

I used to live on Union Street and went here regularly with my partner and never had any issues always got on well with all staff. Recently over last 6-8 months something has changed, feels like something isn’t right with this venue anymore! I have attended and been inside when a couple of our friends are outside and are being refused entry due to full capacity which is clearly not true as I was actually inside and there were 4 tables! Tried to go here a few other times over the last year and every time it’s the same excuse and it’s quite obvious that the staff are being made refuse people because they would all like to clear up and get home early! I work in hospitality myself so I completely understand that every now and then but without fail every time I’ve tried it has been the same and recently been speaking to other people about it and they have said the same thing!! So unfortunate that it’s currently been run by bad management refusing customers especially when hospitality is on its knees at the moment!! Something strange is definitely going on here!! I will continue to spread the word! But in other words don’t bother wasting your time trying to go here if it’s any later than 9pm as you will most likely be refused! Make an effort to go to another venue who will actually appreciate...

This was my first time at this bar, and i can say it was a fantastic experience. I was greeted upon entering and provided a seat with a menu of all of the drinks on offer. They have a large selection of cocktails, so there are plenty of options to suit a particular taste. My cocktails were made to perfection and tasted wonderful. Regarding ordering drinks, you can order directly to the table with a QR code or go up to the bar yourself. I used the QR code method, and my drinks came out in a very timely manner. I also love the atmosphere of this place. It has a cosy feel without feeling like you are too close to other tables. In my opinion this place is wonderful and highly recommended if you are looking for a top-notch...
