Another packed night for Base but friendly staff (thanks Nick) found us a table up behind the pizza oven. This will be the place to sit in winter! We had the pulled pork buns which are served with fat hand cut chips. The serves are very generous (3 small buns each) & the fresh coleslaw crunch with the melt in your mouth pork surrounded by the slightly sweet soft bun is a slider winner. The chips were cooked to perfection and again served generously. The advantage of a back table is the wall of wine on offer. Some of my favorites up there (La Linea, Rockfords) compliment a delicious menu. read more

Always packed and worth the wait, and easy to have a drink at the bar. There is no table service. Order and pay at the counter. Food is fantastic. The only problem is that it isn't open every day. We had a nice variety of dishes which we shared, and have a look at the photos. read more

Update June 2016 pizzas huge improvement! Update 6 months after below review:- amazing Margherita pizza! Fantastic young guy served us and made a great pizza, very surprised, good base and great mozzarella! Great place (with a very nice fit out) if you just want beer , wine, pizza and some tapas on side. As you'd expect from a pub posing as a restaurant the ingedience is mostly all out of a packet/tin and you can tell as its all very salty. The paella was extremely peppery which I don't understand as you can add all the pepper and salt you like after. The pizzas have improved. Full credit for opening Easter Sunday. Avoid Friday and Saturday night. read more

The bar looks lovely, very nice spot and location. We ordered the beef burger, the pizza and the American style pork ribs. The pizza had a nice crust but a bit too oily, the burger patty tasted like pre-made patties but the fries were the only thing that cooked perfectly. The most disappointing food was the ribs, the ribs were so dry and didn't taste quite fresh. read more

Went for dinner with my girlfriend here. I've been here before and enjoyed it, so I was keen to go again and review this time. I'd say the only real problem with Base is they don't do reservations - it's obviously a system that they like and works for them so I can't see it changing. First things first Base is beautiful, it oozes class from the table settings to the light fixtures - the decor is absolutely spot on. There's nice music playing, ever conversation I over here is interesting, everyone is sexy (this is definitely the place to be seen in Norwood). The menu is usually a little above my price range as a young person but Base is an upper market venue so I can appreciate its prices accordingly. After a modest 15 minute wait (just enough to down a peroni) we got a nice cozy 2 person table along the wall. My girlfriend and I chose to share the meat platter which is $50, I'd normally spend 25 or just under on a main meal normally so I thought this was reasonable. I was very impressed in the speed in which our meal was prepared and it was presented expertly on a giant board. Everything that comes to mind when you think meat board was on this plate, seriously - sliders, sausage, kebab, satay, everything, along with generously portioned dipping sauces SO MUCH MEAT! I was very happy... Overall we had a really nice night and ate some really nice food in a really nice joint, if I had to point out faults - I would prefer a larger separation in the beer garden between smokers and non smokers, in the warmer months it's nice to sit outside and not smell cigarette smoke. Also while the service is professional and friendly, I would prefer it to be a bit more attentive, talking to customers is important, so is asking about their meal (when it's super busy I can understand if this falters a little). 4/5 really isn't an accurate reading 8/10 is closer read more

The Base Bar and eatery is a good place to stop past for a pre movie feed. A Pizza and Tapas Bar, part of the Bath Hotel complex. The Pizzas are all wood oven cooked and a good size for one (about 25cm or 11") with a diverse range of toppings. Friends I was with had the meat covered one and loved it. If pizza is not your thing for the night they also serve up a selection of Tapas style items, you'll need 2 at least to feel comfortably fed, but the pricing is based on that mostly. the table had a few choices from some richly sauced Gnocchi to Pork Belly, Calamari and Rosemary potatoes.. and all tasted very nice. read more

It's usually very hard to get a table at Base on the weekend, but we were lucky this time. It was a cold Saturday afternoon, but so nice to walk into the warm restaurant. It's worth noting that when it is cold the front door is closed, and entry is via the side door in through the Bath Hotel's beer garden - this helps to keep the warmth in. We sat near the wood pizza oven, so it was impossible not to order a pizza after seeing all the amazing pizza coming out of the oven. I ordered the prosciutto pizza, and it was delicious. The base wasn't too thin, there was the right amount of toppings and it was hot straight from the oven. The pizza is quite large, so depending on how hungry you are it is a good size to share with someone along with one of the sides. I took half of my pizza home in a takeaway box. Food service was quite fast, especially taking into account that it was busy and wood oven pizzas normally take a while in other restaurants. Cutlery and serviettes are available at the front counter (self-serve), or one of the friendly waiters is more than happy to assist. On the topic of cutlery, it was nice to have a proper serrated knife that actually cut my pizza - it avoided the usual struggle that makes you look like you are hacking into the pizza. Overall, this is a great restaurant - one that is fast becoming one of my regular options/suggestions for a place to catch up with friends. read more

Diners today we were at Base Bar in the Bath Hotel. Right on their website it says "The mission is simple: serve delicious, affordable food that guests will want to return to week after week" and I have to say that was pretty much our experience! I don't know if it was the sunny weather today (after so many dreary days) or if it was Base Bar, but it was just a pleasure to be sitting there with lots of people, enjoying the atmosphere and feeling good about the day. We walked in through an outdoor/atrium area and it was really very pretty. Lots of outside seating and booths and a big screen TV for distraction. We didn't sit there as it was quite windy but otherwise it would have been nice... Instead we entered the bar area which had a bit of a trendy, hipster warmth if that's even a description. Tall, red brick walls and wooden benches and chairs just made it feel like a place you wanted to be. We grabbed a couple of bar menus and found a nice seat in the corner. Hubby was immediately drawn to the share plates. I'm not a huge fan of them because there's always things on there I don't really want to eat and hubby always thinks because he's a foot taller than me he gets to have more than me and well, that's just not fair! So he ended up ordering a Shared Mexican Plate on his own for his main. Guacamole, Sour Cream Nachos, DIY Taco's and Fried Chicken Wings... I had a craving for pasta so I went with the Linguini Salsice - Spicy Chorizo, roasted Capsicum, Olives, Basil and Parmesan. The bar menu seemed a little limited but then again, it is a bar menu and I'd rather they have a few items that they do really well, than lots of items that are just mediocre. We had a drink or two while we waited and checked out the food on other people's tables. It all looked pretty good! We noticed the huge wood oven at the other end of the room and all the pizza's coming out and wondered whether we should have ordered a pizza instead. We forgot all about the pizza when the food came out though! Both plates looked really amazing. First the Mexican Share Plate There were three taco fillings. One Mince, one is Pulled Pork and the last is Chicken. Top right are the tacos - they gave five which seems like an odd number when there are three fillings. There was also Fried Chicken wings and coleslaw and of course, the mandatory nachos. Hubby loved the minced pork filling. I tried a little too and it was really very nice. There was some herb or spice in there that I just couldn't pick... But when he got to the Pulled Pork filling, he just made grunting noises and covered his hand protectively over his food. Oh yeah, he was enjoying it... He kept uttering "It's not really a lot of food for one person is it?" No dear... Not when you're six foot seven. The nachos were the only thing I would have been interested in on his plate and although they were ok, I would have been disappointed if that was the only thing I'd been served. A lot of the nachos were broken so there were just broken chips down the bottom. But hubby didn't mind and really, nacho's have to be pretty bad to be bad. These were ok. I was absolutely in raptures with my pasta. From the moment it came out till I took that last bite, it was just wonderful. It looked so good on the plate and tasted even better in the mouth! I'm not a big fan of Chorizo so took those out for hubby, but everything married up so well in this dish. The pasta was cooked well, the olives gave your mouth a buzz, it was just magical! In fact my only complaint was that the fork they gave was not big enough for me to twirl as much pasta as I wanted onto it. I am an Italian girl after all! All in all, we had a great time here and no doubt will be back soon. It's great to find a place that you can look forward to returning to. Casual dining, great atmosphere and great food. What more could you want? read more

I have being meaning to go there for awhile and we finally got our chance on Saturday night before we went to the movies. After umming and ahhing over the many tempting choices, we ordered the tasting plate and a pizza. The tasting plate was larger than expected, and I can't fault a thing on it. The pizza.... Well I am extremely fussy with pizzas.... and this one was good! Over all, it was an extremely enjoyable experience read more

Amazing restaurant. It is my favourite. Food comes out very quick and is always perfect. There is nothing on the menu I don't like! The chicken pizza is delicious. read more

Base. Bar - Sliders and chicken pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Norwood, SA

Base Bar is the recently opened sister of the Bath Hotel. The decor is fantastic with large wooden tables perfect for groups of people. I can see it getting very busy in the warmer months especially with the delcious array of pizzas and cocktails (perfec to share, or not). The front is all open and there are a few prime seats facing the road so you can watch the world go by. Although the venue itself is quite small I have been a little cheeky and taken my drinks and my larger group across to the front area of the Bath. I can't wait to work my way through the funky cocktail menu (and yes, they come in cute jars) read more

Pizza seemed to be all everyone was eating so we selected and did not go wrong! So much so that I are ate base 2 nights out if 4! Being a tourist and returning to a bar for pizza really speaks volumes. The duck pizza was divine with a good dash of hoi sin sauce and a decent portion of duck. The bar itself is very modern, sports bar in style. Friendly and accessible with families, through to couples read more

Have been here a few times generally has been good but I would avoid it on a busy night. Waited for 15 minutes for a table at which point the service staff inform us there is a wait list. I ask to be placed on it but am told they are to busy and will add us when they have a minute accompanied by a fairly poor attitude. Eventually we left without eating -busy times really show the poor staff attitude and cracks in customer service. read more

omg base is so good best place to go! Great food, great hospitality, it felt very homey! I am definitely telling all my friends to go there! Also I loved the pork sliders they were to die for! read more
