Maybe Mae has been named South Australia’s No. 1 cocktail bar, and No. 2 bar overall in Boothby’s Best Bars rankings for 2026 (Boothby magazine Bartenders’ Weekender)

A huge thank you to Boothby, not only for the recognition, but for the work they do in celebrating Australian bars, bartenders, and the people who keep this industry moving forward.

For us, this one means a lot. Maybe Mae has been around for 12 years now, and none of it happens without the people who keep walking down the stairs to drink with us. The regulars, the first-timers, the late-night decision makers, the cocktail lovers, the curious drinkers, and everyone who has helped make this little room what it is.

To our team, past and present, thank you. To everyone who has ever pulled up a seat at Maybe Mae, thank you.

We’re very proud, and very grateful! Time for a drink to celebrate.
