“There’s not much to do in Adelaide.”
- People who obviously don’t know Adelaide
For those familiar with the nooks and
crannies of this fine city, I’m sure your social life is abundant. For those
that are still looking for fun nights out to escape this weather, well, don’t
we have an awesome treat for you!
Enter: HoleyMoley.
Wednesday night saw The Iconic Blonde attend the VIP Launch of Adelaide’s newest
mini-golf bar, and boy, it did not disappoint! Having successfully launched in
Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, we were excited to see what all the fuss was
about.
Well, the fit out of this place is truly unreal. Eighteen holes of pop-culture madness! From ‘Baby’s got Pac’, a Pac-Man themed hole, to ‘742 Evergreen Terrace’, which sees you ‘putt off’ inside The Simpsons’ lounge room, this joint has it all. The Simpsons couch, might I add, provides an awesome photo op for the occasion with your mates.
If you haven’t lived under a rock there
will be plenty of references that
tickle your fancy! Personally, I was a big fan of ‘The Iron Throne’, made up
entirely of golf clubs. No prizes for guessing the inspiration behind that one.
You could certainly be forgiven for waking
up with a hazy memory after a night here; let’s not forget that this is in fact also a bar with a 2am close.
The raised DJ booth provides all the party hits that you could want while you boogie
your way around the course, while the bar staff do an incredible job knocking
up cocktails or cracking open whatever your heart desires. De Bortoli, a fourth generation Australian winery, has the vinos
covered and the range is excellent (shout out to Nick and Mark who I bumped
into on the seventh).
It was a pearler of a night, with plenty of
Adelaide’s familiar faces getting into the spirit, such as Hit107’s Amos Gill and Channel 7’s Amelia Mulcahy.
The team at The Iconic Blonde were joined
in the outside entertaining area by fellow bloggers Man About ADL, while we all knocked off plenty of pizza and took a
breather from the organised chaos. One thing that was a common theme of
discussion: this place exceeded our expectations. Whether it be for a Tinder
date (always hard finding something fun), or in a big group such as a birthday
or Bucks show, you can be sure that your experience here will be a good one.
Your short game doesn’t need to be decent,
but I daresay you’ll think Holey Moley is
on par with the best of them.
