HQ Complex is huge: a three-storey city block of lights and sound looming over its own corner of Adelaide. Inside, there are four main areas, each with its own type of music. There are ten bars, including a cocktail bar, a lounge, RnB room, outside beer garden, and main stage. It is enormous, and it’s no warehouse inside, either: you will find only luxurious features among its many staircases, smaller lounge areas, and dance floors.

Open five days a week, HQ is particularly famous for its Flashdance parties every Wednesday. There are always great drink specials and regular musical talents such as internationally and nationally famous DJs and bands. HQ is your ideal Adelaide destination any night of the week.
