Adelaide is welcoming a new two-storey venue on Frome Street, Honeydripper. Set to open later this year \u2013 the venue is brought by wine expert Raf Thomson and blends wine bar warmth, with the intimacy of a Japanese-style listening lounge, in hopes to bring Adelaide a sensory experience like no other.<\/p>\n

The idea sparked from a trip to Osaka, where an inconspicuous stairwell led to a vinyl-filled, ten-seat bar that was built around music rather than the menu. That encounter, along with visits to global audiophile hotspots like Dante\u2019s in Miami and Goldline in Los Angeles, inspired the vision of a venue built around sound, design, and soulful service.<\/p>\n

Honeydripper\u2019s ground floor will operate from 8am weekdays as a coffee and bagel spot and transforming into a lively wine bar by afternoon with communal booths, conversation corners, and a bar menu designed to elevate the drinks.<\/p>\n

Upstairs, the mezzanine will function as an audio lounge complete with Klipsch La Scala speakers, a 3,500-strong record collection curated by Chicago\u2019s Gene Farris, and a central DJ area fitted with an Australian-made Condesa mixer.<\/p>\n

Honeydripper plans to partner with local vinyl curators and host intimate events, wine fairs and community listening nights.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about providing a place for people who love music, but don\u2019t always want the volume of a club. We\u2019re creating something quieter, deeper built around quality,\u201d said Thomson.<\/p>\n
