If you’ve ever found yourself wandering through Adelaide’s West End on a Friday or Saturday night, you’ll likely remember one iconic spot. What appears to be your classic country pub, with people outside watching the footy, a polar bear drinking beers, and depending on what time you’re walking by, a line of people wrapped around the building, feels like it’s been transported smack-bang into the heart of the city.
The Woolshed is in some ways an institution on Hindley Street. This country pub-style nightclub has been around for twenty-odd years, and is home to a mechanical bull, seven bars, three levels, and many a good night. If you’ve ever spent a night dancing at the Woolshed, you’ll no doubt remember the corrugated iron walls, glowing neon lights, and quirky knick-knacks scattered throughout, and even if you don’t, well, it’s definitely time for a refresh.

Have you ever been to the Shed and thought, “This place needs a tractor in the middle of the bar?” Well, so have the staff, and they think it’s time for a grand makeover, but they need some help. Now, after twenty years of fun, the Woolshed is calling on those who consider it home each weekend to help redesign it.
They want to take the Shed back to its roots, where American country grit meets Hindley St late-night chaos, and they want you to think big!
Whether it’s giant cowboy boots hanging from the ceiling, half-cut ute-tray DJ booths, or even a throne for the loosest unit of the night, they want to hear your wildest ideas.
If you need some inspiration, here’s what the team have whipped up.
