It has a much more inner city feel about it, and of course a great selection of beers. The other thing about this pub is that it is basically located on the wharf, which means that it has some pretty good views, particularly outside. The service was quite good as well, though of course the problem comes down to chosing the right pub.
Friday night dinner destination took an interesting turn where we found ourselves at this recently…read morerenovated establishment. As it was my first visit, I didn't have anything to compare it to. Those that have been here prior to the renovations said it was a massive improvement. I found the space well lit, airy and light with ship adornments around the place, clearly an ode to the Port. It wasn't very busy for a Friday night, which is disappointing to see. A sad sight in lovely Port Adelaide. We were seated and water was offered. We perused the menu and the specials board and made our selections in record time. Orders was placed at the counter which shares the same space as the bar. Food came out in a timely manner and was nicely presented. It seem every dish was praised for tastiness. I had the seafood platter for one, but asked for my fished to be grilled, which they obliged. My only gripe is the soft shell crab - that was a joke. It was the tiniest crab you can imagine. Would have prefered prawns in its place. Curry, blackened chicken, Wharf Tower burger, pie and chilli prawns was ordered. We were thoroughly full, thus it is safe to say that portion was on point. Even if we didn't go where we were meant to for dinner, the Lighthouse Wharf made a nice substitute. Happy to come back for breakfast or lunch in the near future. P.S.

Being Mother's Day they had a set menu option which was fine for us. Service was great. They were very attentive in trying to accommodate our family of six with seating etc... Service was order at the bar for your food n drinks. I had the Lamb Shanks on a bed of mash potato served with steamed veg. If i was to be fussy i would say the mash was a bit on the dry side but thats being fussy and nothing the gravy didnt fix... Definitely would come here again and hope to be able to sample the normal menu. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!
Port Dock Brewery Hotel

This could possibly be one of my worst dining experiences in Adelaide. It was 12.30 on a Sunday…read moreafternoon, and they had 'run out' of schnitzels ...... There would've been maybe 10 patrons in there if you were lucky. I went with my friend and a child so we placed 2 orders, my friend placing first and telling them that there was another order from our table. Her order came out as I was walking back to the table (least they were efficient, right)? But the poor 5 year old had to wait an extra 15 mins for her food to be brought out.... And it was burnt. Children's meals are meant to come with a sundae. We asked 3 times if we could have the sundae brought out to us before it was actually delivered. Horrible, in attentive service. I won't be returning. Also, no beer was available on the day, it didn't bother us as we weren't drinking but other patrons weren't too impressed

Add a good selection of beers and wines etc., even from local SA small breweries such as Pirate Life and Big Shed and some great Orchard Crush Ciders.. Just what we wanted.... We didn't stop to eat, but I'll HAPPILY go back to give that a go, seeing some of the meals that came out.. NICE.. Things like a 2 person seafood platter. to sliders.. it all looked really nice. A great Port Adelaide Pub for sure.

It's simply hard to complain about anything here. It's nothing fancy but if you want good pub grub,…read morea healthy serving at a cheap price, the 'Anchor' is the place for you. There's always something different on the specials board and there are meal deals most days. There is a decent salad bar that does hot and cold dishes that you can keep going back to. The drink prices are pretty reasonable as well. Just be aware that they are generally pretty busy during the week but they do take walk ins. I really enjoyed the service, price and the meals come out super quick. If your floating around the Port, get yourself into the Anchor.
A really disappointing experience. My salt and pepper squid had a really unpleasant taste (it…read moredidn't taste fresh at all) and really should have been MUCH better given the hotel's proximity to the ocean and the price of the meal. Two other diners' steaks were also substantially undercooked and not particularly flavourful. The only redemption was the service and the complementary Fried Ice Cream dessert provided after the sub-standard mains.

This is a retrospective review that I wish I'd done at the time…read more It was my dear father's 85 th birthday and we had lunch at your restaurant. We'd had many lunches and dinners over the years there always good. This time however... I developed a dreadful FOOD POISONING from tje undercooked chicken. I'm a nurse and know this was poisoning. I couldn't work for a few days and was extremely unwell after paying a good amount of money for the lunch. Apparently your chef ( at the time ) likes to UNDER COOK chicken and fish. I told your restaurant x3 about this and nobody ever contacted me.. I asked to speak to the manager BUT this never occurred. I was mortified at your lack of care as potential salmonella and food poisoning is dire for people. I won't risk eating there again.

Ahh yes, I remember the days when I used to sit in the back area of this pub on a Friday after work…read morehaving a few beers with friends. Things have certainly changed since those days, and while I would like to say that the Ambassadors hasn't, I have to admit that in a way it has. Okay, they still have the restaurant upstairs (which I have frequented a number of times - it's pretty classy) and I'm not sure if that basement bar is still there (it is usually closed when I came by), but the Marble Bar is still out the back, and is still pretty much the same, with the exception that it now has a back door that opens out into a, well, not so much a beer garden, but a beer alley way spot to sit down (and they have another bar behind that). I'm not actually sure what to call it, except that it is out the back in the alley, but it is still pretty cool because it actually adds a bit of a grunge element to what in former times was sort of a classy bar, but not really.

Nothing seemed too much trouble. The hotel is so conventionally located just near Rundle St and with highly acclaimed Andre's Polenta Restaurant downstairs.

I would definitely stay here again and it makes for a fabulous city break for locals or would be perfect for a traveller from interstate or overseas.

The Playford Sebel Carpark is located just off North Terrace down Victoria Street. You will see the…read moresignage as you go down. The carpark is designed quite long. There is easy transition between levels, but not a whole lot of space for two cars crossing paths. I would advise driving slow through here. The elevator is located at one end of each level, so you may have to walk a bit to gain access to it. The elevator is kind of old and makes weird noises. But, it works. This is an unusual carpark, I think it is important that I point out a couple of things. Firstly, you must pay for your ticket at a ticket both near the valet part of the Playford across the street. I took a photo so you know what it looks like. There are a bunch of signs explaining this, but I see a lot of people still getting confused. The other thing is that the buttons for the elevator on the bottom level are not clearly marked. You will see a grey button. Hit that one to get into it. Final thing to note, is that this carpark is cheap if you are stopping in town during business hours. If you are parking during the night, got for one that has an after hour special elsewhere. 0 to 1 Hour $4.00 1 to 2 Hours $8.00 2 to 3 Hours $12.00 3 to 4 Hours $16.00 4 to 5 Hours $20.00 5 to 6 Hours $24.00 Maximum $25.00

I'll just point out a few things that sticks out when I rethink the experience. The room is rather spacious, and the color choice of gold and black made the place seems very classy indeed. Bedding and pillows are very comfortable (the best I've tried so far is Pullman - Sydney). The queen bed is big enough to squeeze 2 adults and 2 kids. The coffee bar in room comes complete with a nespresso type of coffee machine. Complementary coffee available. The bathroom is alright, nothing too outlandish or special, the shampoo and body wash however is just unbelievably refreshing (yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm in love with a hotel provided shampoo) Appelles Apothecary & lab. That's the branding of the toiletries. OUTSTANDING. There's pool, and jacuzzi available in the basement. The kids love it. Oh, also a good size gym there, even though we didn't use it. All in all, a good day/night spent.

***I'm only commenting on the bar and the reflections cocktail lounge / function room!***…read more I've been to reflections twice in the last month - once for a wedding and once for a 50th and at both events I had a rollicking good time! The alcohol flowed freely and there was plenty of food to fill my belly! The staff were super nice with every drink requested. That said, the food was nothing spectacular - the highlight were some little toast / crisps with yummy tomato and bocconcini cheese and the arancini balls - the rest was a little deep fried and 'blagh' - nothing all that special. The room it's self was nice - with a beautiful view over the lake - unfortunately it was night time on both occasions and the view was wasted due to a lack of lights over the water - perhaps something they could look into to enhance the venue? The air-conditioner was also on very cold both times I was here - what's with that?! On another occasion sometime ago I frequented the bar - it was nice for a bar that is part of a resort, but nothing overly memorable or unique!

There are some cool features of this hotel, like the frontage, location, self check in and the rooms are nice. But my sister stayed here with a couple of friends for her 18th birthday and ended up sleeping back at home. Now my sister is not the rowdy kind; she booked for a few friends to stay overnight and they were planning in going out for tea on Melb St and spending the night in the room later on. When she checked in, they asked for a bond, which she was never told about and was ridiculously expensive. Then the girls were getting ready at 6pm putting in makeup and doing their hair with music on and were told they were laughing too much and being noisy. So they turned the music down and tried to be a little quieter, but people 'apparently' kept complaining to staff and staff continued to tell them off. They thought this was ridiculous, it was 6pm! Things continued, they kept being warned about things, and in the end they were pretty much advised to leave, so all went and stayed at one of the girl's houses. My Mum found out, complained and tried to get money back, but nothing happened in the end. Doesn't make me want to stay there, personally.

SUPER SPACIOUS rooms and decent sized bathrooms to boot. Comfy beds, great lighting, plenty of towels etc etc. But then, when we needed a glass of water, we realised the key flaw. Whilst the room has a little kitchen bench and fridge, it doesn't have cups, glasses, a tap, or tea and coffee facilities. This means you have to fill up your water bottle in the bathroom, which I'll do if I have to, but its a bit icky. So overall, whilst I'd stay there again for a night, the design perhaps isn't ideal for longer term... unless they retrospectively add a sink to all the rooms. That being said, there's enough room for almost an entire kitchen... so maybe it isn't a bad idea!

The bar at the Rockford Hotel is a quiet, relaxed little area for hotel guests and the general…read morepublic. When I play gigs, the Rockford serves as the only nearby place that does coffee, making it a convenient little spot to get my caffeine fix. The interior is well-decorated, and the bossa nova tracks playing through the sound system gives it a very classy feel. The coffees are good; not excellent, but good. When you're all out of options and need a coffee quickly, there's not really any room for complaints. But I would gladly sip on one of their coffees even if the times weren't desperate. Whilst the bar is stocked with a large range of beers, wines, and spirits, I'm not sure if I'd want to drink their cocktails. I witnessed one of the bar stuff clumsily concoct a cocktail that was filled to the brim and oddly coloured, spilling all over the place whilst he carried it to a table. I think sticking with coffee or bottled beverages would be a wise choice.

The superior room was nice and large with reasonable amenities but nothing to get overly excited about. The water pressure was great and there was a good amount of hot water. Room servicing occurred as expected. Small niggles included the tv missing channels so finding something to watch was a little tedious as you skipped blank channels. Room was clean enough, but showing signs of wear and tear, nothing major, but not what I would expect from this chain of hotels. The biggest issue we found was the blue light that emanates from the fridge -at night its very bright! We ended up covering with a towel so as not to be disturbed. There was a party going on outside the hotel and it kept going until after 4am. Not the hotel's fault, but clearly the soundproofing could stand to be improved! I cant see myself staying here again as it was a little too far from where I wanted to be, and there just wasn't enough reason in the amenities of the hotel to justify the location. YMMV however.
