What a vibe. Friendly environment, loved it! Harassment may be inbound but just let someone near you know if anything goes wrong.

Amazing place everyone is very kind and welcoming 10/10 would definitely go again

Awsome earthy little club 👍🕺💃

The bar staff always seem really annoyed at you like they're mad about their lives

Great little place i love spending time there and socialising

I’ve been a patron here for nine years, and unfortunately the place has changed for the worse. The atmosphere used to feel welcoming, but the current management culture is unprofessional, inconsistent, and surprisingly hostile toward long-term regulars. It’s disappointing to see a venue I supported for nearly a decade lose its sense of respect and basic customer care. There are far better options in Adelaide now.

Ancient world is by far one of the best clubs in Adelaide. If you are a fan of electronic music, love to dance, and want to support local djs and producers, this is the place to be. The music genres at Ancient World can be quite diverse, so I recommend have a look at the socials ahead of time. It generally all falls under the electronic umbrella, but this is incredibly broad, and each night is always different. If you find a night with music that you love, there is no better atmosphere in Adelaide. The crowd is perfect. Perfect. And the staff, perfect. Everyone is friendly, everyone is respectful, everyone is unapologetically themselves, and everyone is there for a good time. The dance floor on a good night is one of the, if not the best in Adelaide. It's very hard to describe, but the best I can do is that nothing and nobody feels performative here. Everyone is just there to have a good time, and everyone is there for their love of the music and the community. Some people might find the vibe a little 'out there' compared to the other clubs for electronic music in Adelaide. I would describe it as more of an alternative vibe, with strong queer energy as well. Whether that's your vibe is up to you. All in all, would recommend to anyone who hasn't been. It's places like this that make it hard to believe people say Adelaide doesn't have a good music scene.

We entered the place and everything was super cozy, we were looking for a comfortable alternative space and thought we had found it until we were hit with such horrible service that we had to leave the place after the first beer.

Worst venue I’ve ever been in Adelaide! We organised a Brazilian party and the staff which was very incompetent sold tickets at the door without checking with the promotor of the party! long short story, we ended up staying outside, under the rain, because they sold too many tickets and people that had tickets couldn’t get in! I don’t recommend this place not even for my enemy :)

Great shot choice alcohol is kinda expensive though and Karoke is fun
