From the Cranker to the Castle


Details
After months of searching, fighting and pushing to keep live music alive, we finally have a new home — The Ed Castle.
We’re taking everything you love about the Cranker — the music, the people, the chaos, the Wednesday night specials — and moving it to a venue with just as much history and soul.
With the support of the South Australian Government, we’re making sure live music stays in the heart of the city while our original site is redeveloped.
The Ed Castle has been around since 1837, making it the longest continuously licensed pub in the CBD. Now, we’re bringing it back to life with everything that makes the Cranker special — and this time, we’ve got a full pub kitchen to add to the experience.
We know change is big, but what makes the Cranker isn’t just a building — it’s all of you. Our staff, our musicians, our loyal punters. We’re not closing. We’re just temporarily moving… from the Cranker, to the Castle.
This is the next chapter. Let’s make it legendary. 🍻
