Hotel Tivoli is hidden away on the eastern side of Pirie Street. On the outside, it just looks like an old building with a towering apartment built behind it. The inside, on the other hand, is sleek, modern and stylish. The antlers hanging off the walls, the dark colour tones and furnishings, and the parquetry…

PJ O’Brien’s
I’ve had many a drink at PJ’s over the years, but I’ve never eaten here, until today. At one time, I used to be a regular, because a friend of mine regularly played in a band here. There’d be drinking and there’d be dancing, and on a few occasions I’d still be here at 5am…
Hahndorf German Arms Hotel
Every time I’m up in Hahndorf, I usually eat at the Hahndorf Inn, but after my first visit to the German Arms, I was pleasantly surprised. The venue is considerably spacious, and the decor is traditional with good use of timber. Adjacent tables are a good distance apart, and the dining space over different levels…
Colonel Light Hotel
The Colonel Light Hotel is set in a historical building on the western side of Light Square. The decor is relatively modern and there is plenty of seating both inside and out. The staff here are friendly and the service is above average. The atmosphere is fairly relaxed, mainly due to the lack of customers….
Ed Castle
The Ed Castle is located towards the western end of Currie Street in a building that is nearly 2 centuries old. Considering the city of Adelaide is not that old itself, this particular venue has historical significance. The first thing you notice when you enter the place is the set of pool tables. I initially…
Royal Oak Hotel
The Royal Oak is a pub located on busy O’Connell Street in North Adelaide. While the exterior has a quaint facade, the interior is like a 1950’s unrenovated urban warehouse. We sat at a table that was made from recycled cinema seats, although the furnishings around us seemed to be a mish mash of throw…
Royal Hotel Kent Town
The Royal Hotel is located on the corner of North Terrace and Dequetteville Terrace. Situated in a prime position, there is also plenty of parking on the North Terrace side of the building. The venue itself is deceptively large. It has a bar area, pokies room, formal dining area and a function room upstairs. Tonight,…
Hackney Hotel
Many places around Adelaide boast about having the best burger, and The Hackney is one of them. Having been to all of the recognised gourmet burger joints in Adelaide, I was here to put this place to the test. The Hackney has a bar, a restaurant area, several function rooms and a gaming lounge. The…
Earl Of Leicester
The Earl of Leicester is a nice pub on quiet suburban street in Parkside. The pub has a lot of old world charm with good use of dark wood and an exposed timber roof. This place has a reputation for serving up large schnitzels. Keen to see what all the fuss is about, I ordered…
Austral Hotel
I’ve been to the Austral so many times and yet I haven’t reviewed it! The Austral just brings back so many pleasant memories, right back to when I was at university. The drunken nights, the pub crawls, the hearty meals and the live music are what makes this place so special. I even managed to…
