Was there once a substantial tree at the southern end of Frome st?

Is there info about the former street before widening work c1960s?

Another chopped off building was the Tavistock Buildings. I live in part of what remains, but the hotel was demolished to extend Frome Street.

Little Miss Mexico to be replaced with Little Miss Miami before 13-storey tower built on corner of Grenfell and Frome streets


A 13-storey building with 90 apartments has been approved for the corner of Grenfell and Frome streets - the site of popular Fringe bar Little Miss Mexico

The Karidis Corporation project will have a mix of serviced and residential apartments, five ground floor tenancies likely to include a corner cafe or bar, first floor offices and basement parking.

Peter Karidis said the section of the building behind the Crown and Anchor Hotel would rise to six levels.

"We need stock in serviced apartments and hospitality's growing in Adelaide, especially with the Convention Centre expansion and also what's happening with the new casino (extension)," Mr Karidis said.

The Development Assessment Commission granted planning approval last week.

Construction of the $50 million project will start early next year and take about 18 months.

In the meantime, the people behind the Little Miss Mexico Fringe venue that operated on the site are set to open a Little Miss Miami pop-up bar there in July.

Mr Karidis said operators Stuart Duckworth and Tom Skipper were free to run the bar, to feature Cuban-American food, at least until December prior to demolition works.

In March, the City Messenger reported the City Council's concerns that the building would breach its encroachment policy, under which at least half the floor area of balconies must be behind the property boundary.

Mr Karidis said the issue had been resolved by reducing the size of some balconies.

He said soundproof glass would prevent any noise issues with the pub next door.

"We are very supportive of the pub and every business in the area," he said.

Adelaide’s first “small bar” opens

Melissa Mack | 12 July 2013 Adelaide |



The reincarnation of Little Miss Mexico – Little Miss Miami – opened last night on Frome Street as Adelaide’s first “official” small bar.

Little Miss Miami’s small bar licence was approved on Monday, with the bar notified officially by letter yesterday in time for its opening to the public tonight.

It is the first of six small bar licence applications to be approved since legislation came into effect earlier this year to create the new licensing category.

Minister for Business Services and Consumers John Rau said the venue demonstrated why the small bar licence was needed.

“We hope it is the first of many more small venues to open up in Adelaide in the coming months,” Rau said.

Without this licensing system, it is unlikely Little Miss Miami would exist.

“The small venue licence provides an opportunity for people who want to establish all sorts of entertainment venues, which will see a new mix of establishments appear and draw more people into the city.”

The owners’ first project, Little Miss Mexico, established next to the Crown and Anchor Hotel in Grenfell St, was wildly popular over the Adelaide Fringe season, finally closing on May 15.

Flagged as a temporary project before a 13-storey apartment building begins construction on the site next year, the Miami bar will be open for at least the next six months.

A Karidis Corporation project, the apartments will be a mix of serviced and residential, with the plans going through the approval process with the Adelaide City Council. There will be five ground floor tenancies, including a corner café or bar and office space.

Little Miss Miami, which has a capacity of less than 120 people, has already amassed 8,900 fans on its Facebook page.

Australian Hotels Association president Ian Horne said he was impressed by what the owners had done with Little Miss Miami, sorting out residential complaints and getting its licence approved in just 40 days.
