About Nevermind

Down an alley off Leigh Street—past the bins, keep walking until the pedestrian light shows green. Tucked behind a luggage shopfront, this laneway hideaway trades in moody lighting and a massive wall mural. Behind the stick, bartenders skip rigid lists to shake bespoke drinks tailored to your mood, from a Paper Plane to off-menu kimchi cocktails. Patrons drop in for unpretentious chat while DJs spin vinyl and deep cuts of garage into the night.

  • The Green Light: Alleyway access is marked by a pedestrian traffic signal showing red when closed and green when open.
  • Wax and DJ Sets: Resident DJs spin vinyl sets and eclectic genres like garage to set the room's pace.
  • Bespoke Mixology: Bartenders consult on palate preferences to shake custom and off-menu orders like kimchi cocktails.
  • Murals and Mood: Moody interior lighting centers on an expansive, room-defining wall mural.

Why Choose Nevermind

Discover Leigh Street's concealed alleyway cocktail bar guided by a pedestrian light, bespoke mixology, and vinyl soundscapes.

  • Signal-Guided Speakeasy Discovery

    A pedestrian traffic light situated over the entrance in the back alley indicates whether the bar is open or closed, turning arrival into an intriguing game of discovery.

    Nevermind is the perfect place to take and surprise your friends - nobody even knows it's even there. The pedestrian light above the door is perfect, such a cute and clever touch that grabs the curiosity of passes by on the lookout for somewhere special.

  • Insider Spot to Impress a Group

    Tucked out of sight past service bins and baggage storefronts, the bar rewards patrons with the exclusivity of knowing an undiscovered spot.

    A bar that makes great drinks and has DJs that play garage? In Adelaide? I didn’t think this combo existed until I found this place! Can’t wait to bring a group back next time!

  • Tailored Drinks Matched to Your Mood

    Bartenders take the time to converse with guests and handcraft custom cocktails off the menu aligned with individual moods and flavor profiles.

    Made us cocktails based on what we like and what mood we were in.

  • Inventive Off-Menu Cocktail Craft

    The bar crew crafts unique off-menu specialties and adventurous concoctions, including signature kimchi cocktails and classic drinks.

    He would give us personalised recommendations and on top of the menu drinks, we really enjoyed his “off the menu” specialties, including the smooth kimchi cocktail to my surprise.

  • Vinyl Soundscapes and Niche DJ Sets

    Live DJs spinning distinctive vinyl sets and niche genres like garage set an electric, upbeat backdrop rarely found in typical cocktail lounges.

    there’s a selection of vinyl and music unique to the bar. Initially I was confused of the lighting but realised it adds to the atmosphere and uniqueness to the bar.

  • Concealed Back-Alley Atmosphere

    A concealed alleyway location behind Leigh Street offers a secluded hideaway that feels insulated from the standard high-street nightlife.

    To find Nevermind you will need to find the alley, look past the bins and see whether the light is showing red for closed or green for open. Really nice vibe and a great cocktail list.
