SPACES

The Maxwell Cooper Room

The Maxwell Cooper Room is one of our most iconic spaces and for good reason. Best known for its expansive balcony overlooking Pulteney Street and Hurtle Square, it’s made for lively cocktail parties, celebratory drinks and nights that tend to run a little longer than planned. Inside, the room leans into its Victorian-era charm, with marble fireplaces, ceiling roses and grand mirrors setting the scene for more intimate dinners and private gatherings. A private bar keeps the drinks flowing, while the atmosphere does the rest. The space is also home to our iconic Coopers mural by Australian artist Brentos (Brent Turner) a standout backdrop for event photos and a true Alehouse talking point. Access is via stairwell only. Bucks shows and 18th birthdays incur a $250 security guard requirement.

The Thomas Cooper Room

The Thomas Cooper Room is a versatile, crowd-favourite space that works just as well for polished seminars as it does for relaxed cocktail events and long lunch–style dinner parties. With flexible furniture, built-in projector facilities and a private bar, it’s easy to tailor the room to suit your event. The adjoining balcony overlooking Hurtle Square adds an extra layer, perfect for fresh air breaks, pre-drink mingling or a change of pace throughout the night. It’s a practical space without feeling corporate, making it ideal for groups who want function and atmosphere. Access is via stairwell only. Bucks shows and 18th birthdays incur a $250 security guard requirement.

The Leabrook Room

The Leabrook Room is our newest addition and proof that smaller spaces can still bring plenty of atmosphere. Tucked just off the main bar and dining room, it’s ideal for intimate private dinners that keep the buzz of the pub close by. You get the best of both worlds, a dedicated space to settle in, with easy access to the bar when it’s time to top up the glasses. With AV facilities and a TV, the room works well for smaller presentations, meetings or catch-ups that don’t need a big setup. It also suits relaxed celebrations. Think low-key 21sts, casual drink-focused events or post-meeting beers that turn into a longer stay. If you’re after something private without feeling closed off, polished without being formal, and casual by design, the Leabrook Room ticks all the boxes.

The Carrington Bar

The Carrington Bar is our versatile ground-floor space with leafy parkland views across from Hurtle Square, making it a favourite for both relaxed gatherings and more polished celebrations. Normally our vibrant restaurant area, the Carrington Bar can be booked privately for larger events giving a more exclusive experience. With its own bar and private amenities, the space adapts effortlessly to your event, from intimate seated dinners to lively cocktail gatherings. The two large-screen TVs make it perfect for corporate social quiz nights, presentations, or even live sporting events. Its flexible layout, combined with a microphone and sound system if needed, means the Carrington Bar can be tailored to any occasion, whether that’s a corporate function, networking evening, birthday celebration, or festive party.

The Arnou Room

The recently renovated Arnou Room is the perfect spot for a private dinner that still hums with the energy of the Alehouse. Semi-private and connected to our main bar, it allows your group to enjoy an exclusive gathering without losing the lively pub atmosphere just beyond the door. Ideal for 40–60 seated guests, the space is all about relaxed dining and good company. With easy access to the front bar and all amenities, your evening can flow effortlessly, whether it’s a celebration with friends, a milestone dinner, or simply a night out for great food in a welcoming space. The Arnou Room isn’t suited to cocktail functions or corporate presentations — it’s a room for moments shared over long meals, laughter, and the unmistakable buzz of the Alehouse around you.

The Alehouse Bar

WALK-IN AREA The heart of the venue and the place where it all happens. The Alehouse Bar is made for walk-ins, long lunches that turn into late afternoons, post-work pints and nights that revolve around whatever’s on the big screen. No bookings, no formalities — just pull up a stool and settle in. Every Coopers on tap. A serious gin selection. An extensive local wine list that backs South Australian producers properly. Plus the full Alehouse menu available, so you’re never far from a schnitty, steak or something fresh off the woodfire. With big screen sport playing live and loud and the buzz of the pub around you, this is where the real Alehouse atmosphere lives. Come as you are. Stay as long as you like.
