St Peters

At the corner of Stephen Terrace and Sixth Avenue, this boutique merchant keeps its shelves weighted toward South Australia — wine, craft beer and spirits from small family producers rather than the major distributors that dominate most suburban bottle shops. Staff will chill and deliver an order, lend glassware for a party, or set up an ice tub for a barbecue, the kind of practical service that comes from running a genuinely local operation rather than a franchise. It trades every day of the week, nine until nine, making it one of the few retail options in the inner north-east open outside standard business hours. For visitors curious about what South Australian winemakers and brewers are doing beyond the well-known labels, it is a reliable place to ask and be pointed toward something specific rather than simply told what is on special.
