The Stag Hotel

I’ve been coming to the Stag for years, but I’ve never actually eaten there until tonight. Beautifully located on the corner of Rundle Street and East Terrace, the Stag has a large balcony that overlooks Rymill Park. Business is pretty good, particularly due to it’s close proximity to the Fringe setup across the road. Tonight,…

Mawson Lakes Hotel

The Mawson Lakes Hotel is well known for their mega chicken schnitzels. In what is a modern building, the hotel is simply decorated and seats about 200 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is average. One thing I liked about this place is the all you can eat salad bar. The potato bake at…

The Griffins

I’ve been coming to Griffins ever since my university days. With it’s close proximity to Adelaide University, it was always a stop off point at all my pub crawls. Nowadays, the place has undergone renovations and is now more sleek and stylish, which is in line with other trendy pubs around town. I like a…

Maid Of Auckland

I’ve driven past the Maid of Auckland many times when going up South Road, and to be honest, I’ve never wanted to walk inside, mainly due to its appearance from the outside. It doesn’t appear to be one of those modern pubs that have undergone extensive renovations. According to other reviews, it has been renovated,…

Birdies at The Tap Inn

The Tap Inn is a themed pub that was created by the same people that opened the Bombay Bicycle Club. Within the maze of rooms, is a double storey golf driving range, a bunker beer garden, swing chairs, several bars and a restaurant. On this occasion, a group of us dined at Birdies, which is…

Panacea

Tapas is so popular in Adelaide at the moment. Situated close to where I live is Panacea. Located on Halifax Street, this beautifully decorated restaurant reminds me of when I was dining out in Barcelona. The rustic flooring, the outdoor canopy, and the spacious courtyard, all make for a cosy environment. The service here was…

Hotel Crown

Hotel Crown is located close to where all the action is in Victor Harbour. The venue is nice and spacious, and the menu is your standard pub fare. There’s an all you can eat salad bar which is available if you order a main. Today, i had the usual Chicken Parmi. The meal came out…

Woolshed On Hindley

While thinking about where to go for lunch, a coworker suggested the Woolshed because they had meals for a reasonable price. First impressions of the place weren’t that great. The tables and chairs in the outside dining area were covered in alcohol residue, and the inside of the place was dark and dingy. The place…

Union Hotel

I’ve been to the Union quite a few times, mainly to catch up with friends for drinks. The pub is essentially made up of several sections, the bar area, a casual area turn dance floor at night, dining area and a pokies area. The decor is quite contemporary with the highlights being the fireplace and…

Lighthouse Hotel

I’ve ventured out to Port Adelaide on several occasions and each time it was for the dolphin cruise. While waiting for the cruise to start, we decided to check out the local pub, the Lighthouse Hotel. The atmosphere here is relaxed and it’s nice to be able to see all the activity that is happening…
