The Kings Hotel

The King’s Hotel is one of my locals and is conveniently located on the corner of Sturt Street and King William Street, just outside the City South tram stop. The pub offers all your traditional pub fare, and their food menu utilises a lot of locally sourced ingredients. The decor has a traditional English style…

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…

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,…

Barker Hotel

As part of my wine tour, the group felt like something a bit more substantial than what the wineries were offering in terms of food, so we decided to check out the Barker Hotel. This recently renovated pub is both ultra modern and chic, with a seating capacity of over 100. The staff are friendly…

The Archer Hotel

Over the years, I’ve been coming to the Archer for all sorts of reasons. I’ve come here to drink. I’ve come here to dance. I’ve come here to drown my sorrows. I’ve even celebrated my birthday here. Today, I’m here for the $10 Chicken Parmi. The Archer is a popular venue. Located on the busy…

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…

Gilbert Street Hotel

Located in the south east corner of the city, the Gilbert Street Hotel is set in a beautiful historical building. The interior is dramatic yet sophisticated. The dining area is simple and inviting. The warm lighting sets the mood for that romantic evening. The staff were friendly and inviting, and the food didn’t take too…

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…
