Beloved SA Live Music Venue To Reopen Its Doors Under New Management

Say hello to UniBar ADL.

SA live music venue Adelaide UniBar will return this month under new management. 

The venue was forced to close last November, with former management stating it would be relaunched by the university at some stage in an unknown capacity.

Rebranding to UniBar ADL, the live music hotspot has been moved down two floors to ground level, opening onto the Cloisters courtyard and lawns.

Its new location means it can host gigs indoors to a capacity of 500 as well as outdoors, for up to 2,000 punters.

The new team behind the venue, who also oversees festivals Beer & BBQ and A Day On The Can, wants to “bring an extensive live music program back to the venue which has been a staple in the live music venue scene of Adelaide for so long”.

UniBar ADL will open on March 25; keep an eye on theGuide for all upcoming UniBar ADL event announcements.
