Howl the Moon

The fact that I had thrown off my shoes and was walking barefoot and fancy free within 5 minutes of arriving at this outdoor music venue is a good sign.
This little sanctuary of calm in Dunstone Grove transports you to another world — feeling a bit like a hootenanny of straw hats and banjo players at one point and then a magical world of fairy lights, live music and rolling around on the grass as the sun sets over the garden.
What made this place so appealing was the «ease» of everything on the night. Pay for tickets at the door, walk a few metres to the bar, walk another few metres to dinner and roll around on pre-​laid out rugs and old vintage sofas throughout the garden.
Bistro Dom and Devour Dessert caters for the event with a southern style menu of Fried Green Tomato Sliders, Charred Black Bell Peppers, Pork Belly Buns and Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sandwiches. Don’t miss out on the sauce bar where you can pick from mild to smokin’ hot chilli sauce to add to your dishes either!
Highlight of the evening was grabbing a LOBO cider, a spicy fried green tomato slider which kicked like a mule with its spice and size and finishing off the night laying on a rug digesting my dinner while sweet live music melodies washed over me and the other 100 or so people there.
Fingers crossed this venue remains after Adelaide Fringe or returns again for a second year of knee slappin, toe tappin, fried green tomato fun!

Great spot for a summer evening. Chilled setting with smokin’ food. Fried green tomato sliders, blackened red bell peppers, beef brisket sandwich with satan sauce, pickled pigs’ feet from Bistro Dom. For dessert from Devour there is a peanut butter ice cream sandwich, a bucket of donuts, or macarons. Yummmm! Relaxing music (Baker Suite is French bistro accordion mixed with a bit of blues or acoustic rock guitar and bass — what’s not to love?)
