Dear Enigma Bar Community,

It is with mixed emotions that we share some important news about the future of Enigma Bar.

After an incredible 24 years of live music, community, and so many
unforgettable moments, we have made the difficult decision to close the
doors of Enigma Bar. This decision has not been taken lightly, and it
comes as a result of the increasing challenges posed by rising running
costs, including rent, electricity, and insurance. Additionally, the
complexities of securing diverse acts, whether local, international, or
interstate, have become more pronounced over time.

We have done our best to keep the venue running in these challenging
times, operating as efficiently as possible. However, the current
climate and the astronomical overheads associated with limited trading
days have made it unsustainable.

Enigma Bar has been a haven for music lovers in the Adelaide live music
scene for so many years, a place where hundreds if not thousands of
bands and and tens of thousands of patrons have created lasting
memories. From great performances upstairs in Bar 2 to amazing
electronic nights in Bar 3, to the times when we ran our tequila bar,
amazing DJ night downstairs including when we ran our day club on Sunday
mornings, we were Adelaide's first venue with free internet, the unique
atmosphere of the beer garden (including a yummy snack of a sanger in
bread from our beloved BBQ Bar), to the grassroots stage downstairs,
night's out at Enigma have brought the local community closer to their
favorite local, interstate and international bands and DJs - Enigma Bar
has been a special place to many.

From its inception, the ethos of Enigma Bar was simple — we welcomed
everyone, regardless of appearance, style, or music preference. Our
primary concern has been creating an environment where people from all
kinds of backgrounds could come together, feel safe, and enjoy great music.

This Friday (17th of November), we invite you to join us for one last
hoorah as we raise our glasses for our final evening at Enigma Bar. We
will be open from 8:00 pm until the last drop is poured. Whether you can
stay for a while or just pop in to say hello, your presence would mean a
lot. Let's come together to celebrate the memories and connections
forged at Enigma Bar over the years.

Thank you to each and every one of you for being a part of this
incredible journey. Enigma Bar wouldn't have been what it has been
without the support of our amazing community.

Best regards,1999-2023
