Worldsend Hotel

I remember a time when the Worldend Hotel had a full pub menu. I’m not sure what has happened since, but during one of my most recent visits, I was shocked to find they didn’t sell food. It was only by chance we ate here today, because our original lunch destination was unexpectedly closed. I…

Stax – Waymouth St

Stax is a restaurant franchise that has been around for over a decade and has 3 stores in the CBD. Their Waymouth Street store is located towards the King William Street end and is set amongst popular pubs, cafes and restaurants. For me, Stax is like a cross between Subway, a sandwich store and a…

The Maylands Hotel

The Maylands Hotel is located deep within a side street in a popular outer fringe eastern suburb. I’ve actually eaten here many moons ago, and have fond memories of the experience. The place has undergone renovations since my last visit, and I must say the venue looks modern and elegant. There’s a decent selection of…

Southwark Hotel

The Southwark Hotel is one of Adelaide’s oldest hotels and has been around for well over a century. The inside looks old and outdated and desperately in need of an upgrade. The main dining area is out at the back with a few outdoor seats adjacent to their liquor drive through. The menu is fairly…

The Brunswick

The Duke of Brunswick (or just The Brunswick) is located on the south west corner of the city on Gilbert Street. I’ve been to this place on many occasions but never ventured further than the front bar or the upstairs function room. From what I have seen, these two areas have an original art deco…

Edinburgh Hotel & Cellars

The Ed is one of the nicer establishments in Adelaide. The venue is located as the base of the foothills and is considerably spacious with so many different areas. Two of the features it’s known for are its beer garden and premium wine cellar. I’ve been to the Ed on many occasions, but tonight was the…

Ambassadors Hotel

Ambassadors Hotel is located right in the heart of the Adelaide CBD on King William Street. The building has a lot of old world charm about it with some things looking like they are in their original condition. Today, we decided to dine in the bar area which is at the back of the building….

Clubhouse Barossa

The Clubhouse out at Tanunda is enriched with history and the site dates back to 1891. Renown as an icon in the Barossa, this establishment has been well known for it’s community service over the years, however, these days it’s more about the hospitality. One of the main features inside the dining area is the…

Hotel Royal

The “Hotel Royal” should not be confused with the “Royal Hotel” which is another venue located on the outskirts of the city, but in a different direction. The Hotel Royal is located on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville, amongst a variety of cafes and shops. The venue is considerably large for its location, and from…

Crown & Sceptre

After nearly 2 years, the Crown and Sceptre has re-opened it’s doors. Certain elements within the venue have been retained while other parts have been updated. It’s combination of old and new that still gives this place a relaxed vibe. With this latest reincarnation comes a new menu; a combination of tapas, classic pub dishes…
