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…
The Bath Hotel
The Bath has been around since 1856 and is located at the eastern end of the Parade. The pub specialises in Modern Australian and Seafood, however you can still get your traditional pub fare.

The Strathmore Hotel
I’ve been to the Strath so many times and for so many different reasons. Being a stone throw away from where I work, I’ve had dozens of farewell drinks, as well as many company paid lunches here. The location is convenient, particularly for my friends who have to catch the train home after a boozy…
The Wakefield Hotel
When I’m meeting a friend for lunch, we always go to The Wakefield Hotel, only because it’s closest to her work. The clientele are mainly professionals who work near by and the pub has all your traditional fare on the menu. Today, I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce. The meal came out 15 minutes…
