Coopers Alehouse – Adelaide

I’ve been coming to Coopers Alehouse for many years, right back to when it was called the Earl of Aberdeen. I had heard many reports about their huge schnitzels and I was keen to check it out. As usual, I ordered the Chicken Parmi. The meal came out 20 minutes after ordering and was nicely…

San Giorgio

This place brings back so many memories. Back in the days when I was studying late at university, this was the only place open at 5am. These days, it’s a place where we go when all the other restaurants are booked out. Perhaps it says something about the place, perhaps not. I love the pizza’s at…

Cumberland Arms Hotel

I used to go to the Cumby back when I was at uni, and these days I still find myself going back there. This is one of the few places that doesn’t charge entry after 9pm to get in. This recently renovated pub has a lot going for it. Consisting of a maze of rooms,…
