This is contrary to what I've heard. The hotel is being renovated and apartments will be built above.

I hope this is true.

This is interesting - think this is where Downtown HDCB used to be. Small capacity but could be great for seeing some intimate little shows.

Adelaide Welcomes New Live Music Venue Big Window



Adelaide’s newest live music venue Big Window opened its doors on the weekend, with the intimate Hindley Street space set to shine a spotlight on house, disco and hip-hop as it further establishes itself in the coming months.

The 100-capacity room hosted US DJ Darshan Jesrani on Saturday night, with owner-operator Matthew Khabbaz telling theMusic.com.au the late-night hang aims to introduce punters to new music and more niche genres.

“It’s got to be a place for music lovers, it’s got to be a place for people to come together and have and experience; rather than just going out and having a party,” Khabbaz said.

“Hearing music that you can’t just access on the radio, or seeing artists that might be a little bit more difficult to see or you may just not even know them.”

Frequently travelling to Europe and the US, Khabbaz and business partner Paul Glens will curate the venue’s events schedule in relation to trends they see overseas.

The venue’s green room also contains a studio, where touring acts will be encouraged to record, while its central location sees the potential of high-profile after-parties, with a 5am close.

The Royal Hotel in Kent Town has closed down. Apparently there were financial problems
as a result of a lack of business due to the O-bahn Extension. The car park is now being used
by tradies working on the East Park development.

As mentioned already elsewhere on the forum, the Royal Hotel was in decline long before the O'Bahn extension.

It's hospitality so I'll place this here... Tomorrow Max Brenner will be opening the doors of their new Rundle Street cafe.

Super nightclub Q set to revitalise Adelaide’s Hindley St with giant multi-entertainment complex
City Editor Sam Kelton, The City




LOOK out small bars, the super club is back.

HQ nightclub is dropping the H to become simply Q, a three-level super club at a new home on Hindley St, which will feature restaurants, bars, a coffee shop, function areas and several live entertainment rooms.

The entertainment complex — with a capacity of 2300 people — is set to revitalise the western end of Hindley St alongside the renovated Crazy Horse complex and cinemas. It is scheduled to open its doors next April.

The venue, designed by Milne Architects, aims to attract 40 per cent more live acts to the city precinct and create more than 150 jobs with its seven-day trading.

The site takes in the two buildings on Hindley St just east of the corner of Morphett Street.

Director Rod Rose, who also owns the Rosemont Hotel opposite, says the operation has been a long time coming.

“We’ve been working on this for a while so it’s great to finally get all the approvals in place and unveil it,” he said.

“It’s going to offer a new experience for people in the city. The ground floor includes food and bar services with nightly entertainment and the upper floor, mezzanines and balconies will be the main club area.

“We’re offering bands for up to 1800 patrons, compared to 1100 we had at the old venue, and we are also looking at hosting more than 100 acts a year at the new venue compared to 65.”

The existing HQ on West Terrace will close its doors on January 28 after 10 years and an estimated four decades as a club destination in Adelaide, previously known as Joplin’s and Heaven.

The West Terrace site will be redeveloped with two high-rise towers, with the heritage building left intact between them.

Australian Hotels Association general manager Ian Horne said the refurbished superclub would be an important and exciting addition to the busy precinct.

“The development of a high-quality multi-faceted entertainment complex in the heart of the CBD will re-establish Hindley St as the must-go precinct,” he said.

“This proposal will be a major boost for live music with a capacity to host international, national and local acts.

“The vision for Q rivals that of Sydney’s iconic Ivy and fits perfectly with Adelaide’s strong branding as an emerging live music capital city.”

Construction of Q is set to begin in October.

Demolition is about to start on this. They've setup scaffolding outside.

are there any plans available?

This weekend will be HQ's last.

[how good is he]

I've heard the the new Q development/build is stalled waiting for an increase in power/electricity to Hindley St to handle the increased load required for it to operate. So sounds like a major infrastructure upgrade is needed.

List of new places opening up...and better yet...there will be a "new laneway – connecting Gilbert Place and Peel Street – that runs through a soon-to-be defunct car park."
