The Warradale

A couple of years ago, The Warradale underwent extensive renovations that added three new bars, a bistro and a bottle shop. It then went on to win three awards in 2013 through the Australian Hotels Association (AHA). A quick glance of the bistro menu shows plenty of variety.  There are tapas dishes, oysters, pizzas, steaks,…

Republic – First Birthday

This week marks one year since Republic officially opened it’s doors and what better way to celebrate than with a week filled with festivities filled with delicious food, drinks and entertainment. Republic kick started the celebrations by hosting an exclusive cocktail party for media and VIP guests. The beer garden has won multiple awards is…

Glasshouse Hotel

The Marquis used to be one of my favourite French restaurants, but most recently, the venue had been renovated and rebranded to become The Glasshouse Hotel. It’s not a hotel by the way, so don’t think you can sleep there overnight. In line with the name change, the menu has also been revamped with a…

The Broadway Hotel

The Broadway Hotel is located on Broadway in Glenelg South. Away from the busy Jetty Road cafe precinct, it’s frequented by locals and nearby workers. Offering your fairly typical pub fare, I was drawn in by their lunch time specials at both the bistro and front bar sections. The Broadway is one of the few…

Holdfast Hotel

The Holdy is located on Brighton Road opposite the Glenelg Football Club. The venue is modern and spacious, and has your typical gaming area, dining space, bar areas, beer garden and bottle shop. It even has it’s own micro brewery. The food offerings are nothing exciting and it reads like a textbook pub menu. The…

Moseley Bar & Kitchen

At the former site of The Dublin is the The Moseley Bar & Kitchen, one of the newest additions to the popular Glenelg cafe precinct. Set over two magnificent levels, there is a kitchen on each floor as well as a different menu. While the food offerings are not extensive, there is a focus on…

The Mile End Hotel

The Mile End Hotel is located just outside the city on Henley Beach Road. I had organised for a group of 40 to have dinner here and was surprised to easily get seating after a last minute booking. Either this place was large and could easily accommodate, or this pub just isn’t that good. There…

The Goody

I’m a fan of pubs that have lunchtime deals, as I like to minimise my losses, just in case the food isn’t up to scratch. I’ve heard mixed reviews about this place and my expectations weren’t high, however, I was aware they had $12 lunchtime specials. Their menu is fairly typical pub fare with a…

James Place Hotel

The James Place Hotel is a historic pub set over three levels right in the heart of the city. The pub and dining section is located on the first floor and is a lot smaller than what you’d imagine. The menu is simple and straight forward, and would be classed as your typical pub fare….

Top 25 Chicken Schnitzel Parmigiana

When I’m feeling indecisive at a pub, you really can’t go wrong with a Chicken Schnitzel Parmigiana. It’s not only about how the chicken is cooked. We look at the size and thickness of the schnitzel, the taste of the parmigiana sauce, the quantity of mozzarella and how well it’s been browned, the salad, and…
