What makes a great bar? There's the hospitality, first and foremost — it helps, too, if the drinks are delicious. You want a well designed place, somewhere nice to spend some time in — you want atmosphere, experience, and a good time. You also want a sense of place.
That sense of place is what the Boothby Best Bars SA awards are about. We asked South Australian bartenders and bar owners to nominate the bars they think are best in their state. And then we polled the industry — elite bartenders, influential bar operators, and the smartest bar minds going around — to find out how the rankings should look.
Note, too, that our Top 30 is really a Top 31, because we have two bars in equal 30th.
Get a look at the list below.
