If you're on your way to Gather Round, or already in Adelaide, this is a quick guide of where to go away from the footy.

From a Malaysian surprise to one of the best pubs in Australia (seriously), Adelaide has a lot to offer.

As a travelling journo for cricket and footy, there was always time to sample it.

Hopefully you can squeeze in some of these seven gems.

Yeah, it's daggy, but it's a great meeting spot for footy fans, particularly after the footy.

Apparently, there's more than 2000 glass bubbles in the chandelier, custom-designed and hand-blown in Italy.

In a central spot in the casino, it's a real melting pot. You could run into anyone.

A bit biased on this one, but was always convenient for a quick cleanser or two on way back from the footy to the hotel.
