Distill is an unusual cocktail bar and excellent nightclub on Rundle Street with fantastic wine and cocktail list. It is split over two levels. Upstairs is a hot mess of dancing with a mix of R&B and modern house music. If you like ambient music and an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, go downstairs and enjoy in lounges. And let me not forget the best part. Just imagine a bed on the dance floor and late-night pillow fights. WOW!
