News & Discussion: CBD Retail

[SRW]

There used to be a bar/cafe called Sarahs cafe on Leigh St (near Hindley) that had a alley access way next to it where 2 or 3 cars always parked. I always wished that the alleyway could have been made into some form of an outdoor alfresco area. Anyway that Sarahs has closed

Well my wish has come true, when I walked past yesterday. A new Spanish bar has opened up. Name sounds something like Casablanca and is cool. The inside is great but they have developed a lovely beer garden down that alleyway that ooozes with atmosphere. Have a look. This is the stuff that Adelaide needs more of

Went the other night. The tapas isn't the best, and the service could be better, but they're relatively new so I'll give them some leeway. But, like you said, the atmosphere is pretty great.

Unfortunatly I do not know who is to take up this space but fit out has already begun.

Space claimed in Rundle Mall
Agents of CB Richard Ellis have successfully leased the first floor of Adelaide’s Regent Arcade, removing a substantial amount of retail space from the market and further reducing the vacancy rate in Rundle Mall.

Maybe it's going to be a Krispy Kremes.

What kind of Tapas dishes did they have?

As a fan of real tapas, I am usually disappointed to discover when the 'tapas' sold is actually minituarised modern Australian dishes or antipasto.

I heard long ago (during the fitout works) that it was going to be J B HiFi, but since then JB's have re-located within the old David Jones building, so I guess not.

Would have been a good fit I thought, with much more space for TV displays etc that they dont have the room for where they are.

as i stated in another thread, i have heard from a half reliable source that globalize will be setting up a large store above adidas in the regent arcade.

You'll be disappointed then (as was I), because it's the latter with perhaps a tortilla de patatas thrown in here or there. Stick to the drinks.

Alannah Hill is opening on Rundle Street in November.

[kimmy]

OMG is this true Ben? I have been waiting to hear something like this since forever.

[Ben]

Yep Alannah Hill, Zimmerman and Lisa Ho all open by the end of the month.
