Wine

There are soooo many places in Adelaide offering a wide selection of wines, I'm not even going to bother!

Hot Beverages - Coffee, Tea, Chocolate

Cafes

• The Chocolate Bean: cafe/bar - Union Street, Adelaide
  (previously Citrus Blu)
• Kappy's and Wright: tea merchants and coffee roasters/restaurant/cafe - Flinders Street, Adelaide
• The Elephant Walk: late night coffee/tea house - 76 Melbourne Street, North Adelaide

Kava

• The Kava Hutt - Hindley Street, Adelaide
  Note while, personally I think Kava tastes pretty foul, I have tried it on a few occassions. *Even* if you don't want to try Kava, the Kava Hutt is definitely worth a visit... it's quirky and a mixed bunch of people go there. Juices are available for those not into Kava. For those that remember, the venue was once the home of the Interactive Art Gallery.

Vodka

• Apothecary 1878 - Hindley Street, Adelaide
