Moseley Beach Club, Glenelg: Adelaide beach bar menu & prices
The Moseley Beach Club in Glenelg is a summer-only Adelaide beach bar. Entry to this Glenelg beach club is free, but day beds, booths and sun loungers are expensive.
The Moseley Beach Club in Glenelg, Adelaide, is an offshoot of the Moseley Bar and Kitchen. It is modelled on beach clubs in Europe and South East Asia, and spreads out over part of Glenelg Beach.
The idea is something with a little more going on than a chair or a towel on the beach, but more chilled out than a bar.
Moseley Beach Club food
The Moseley Bar and Kitchen advertises the Moseley Beach Club as “a relaxed yet fun coastal hang out”. This Glenelg beach club has free entry, a kids’ zone, plus several food and drink options. These food options lean towards the snacky – they’re designed for light grazing in the sun.

Moseley Beach Club day beds
What this Adelaide beach bar is really about, however, is flogging eye-wateringly expensive day beds, booths and sun loungers. Last year, the day beds at the Moseley Beach Club cost $100 to hire, either from 11am to 4.30pm or 5pm until closing time. The beds accommodate two to four people but, even so, that’s a fair old lay out for a lay down.
The booths and sun loungers at this Glenelg beach club are equally “aimed at the premium market”. Or, in layman’s terms, pitched at those with more money than sense.
