Have a hankering for a night out at your good old-fashioned local?
The quintessential Aussie pub is everywhere among the bars and restaurants of Adelaide, but how do you hack away the thorns to find the roses?
We’ve done it for you!
Maylands Hotel
Maylands
With a bright, contemporary twist on a classic local, Maylands Hotel redefines the neighbourhood pub. Dive into a smorgasbord of textures, paired with elegant blue touches, and get comfortable! Choosing a dish might have you wrestling with your indecision, tugged between the sumptuous allure of the 250g grain-fed porterhouse and the iconic 300g free-range chicken breast schnitzel. With vegetarian dishes popular here too, the mouthwatering eggplant parmigiana vies for the spotlight as well. Wash it down with dessert (whipped cheesecake for us), and you’ve had the perfect meal!
Rob Roy Hotel
Adelaide CBD
If you’re after a pub that goes against the grain, this is the one for you! Now serving up a classic menu with an Asian-inspired twist, be prepared to be spoiled for choice. Dig into a classic laksa, a double angus beef burger with chips, even a signature blue swimmer crab. Choose from contemporary indoor dining, or classic outdoor nibbles underneath a shady umbrella, and make yourself at home for an arvo. Or two.
The Edinburgh Hotel & Cellars
Mitcham
Affectionately dubbed “The Ed” by its regulars, this pub is heritage-listed and universally adored. Sit beneath the stunning Atrium and lap up the sunshine, or meander outside and perch under an umbrella in the fresh air! Blending the classics and some wild cards, we recommend the homemade falafel, the Rueben beef burger, or the beef bourguignon pie among a myriad of delicious dishes. You can also enjoy live music across the week and weekend, so make sure you check out who they have coming up!
The Joiners Arms Hotel
Hindmarsh
Among a backdrop of exposed brick walls and contemporary décor, explore a Hindmarsh gem. Locally owned, the hotel places a focus on local breweries, with their creations free-flowing on tap! Creating all of your favourites day in and day out, grab an old-fashioned bangers and mash, chicken or beef schnitzel, or a salt and pepper squid. As the perfect dessert to appease the sweet tooth in your party, grab a choc brownie, artfully topped with berry coulis, vanilla ice-cream and choc fudge sauce.
We’ve done our bit, now it’s time for you to get out there and start exploring! Have fun!
