About

SMFA were engaged to deliver the interior fit-out for The Laneway Social, a vibrant new bar and kitchen revitalising a well-loved East End address.

Taking over the former Belgian Beer Café, the project marks the venue’s first major transformation in two decades and represents a fresh new chapter for an Adelaide favourite.

Working alongside Structural Concepts Australia, our team focused on stripping the space back to its heritage bones, revealing the character and texture that give the building its unique identity. Exposed red brick, polished finishes, reconfigured bars and intimate booth seating come together to create a warm, contemporary atmosphere that balances modern hospitality with a deep respect for the site’s past.

The redesign improves the connection between bar and dining spaces, enhancing the flow and experience for guests and staff alike. The result is a welcoming, social venue that feels both familiar and new, a place where elevated pub-style dining, crafted drinks and relaxed company reflect the spirit of Adelaide’s East End.

The Laneway Social stands as a thoughtful reimagining of a local icon, blending heritage, comfort and contemporary design to create a venue ready for its next chapter.
