Hotel Royal
David S.

Well, I have to admit that I have been to this place more times that I can remember. Okay, it isn't the closest place to my friend's house, but he tends to prefer this place much more than the Mybar (which I have to admit I tend to prefer, though the Mile End is also a pretty cool pub). It's your basic local pub with a sports bar, a gaming room, and a bistro, though I have to admit that their pub grub is pretty cool, and heaps cheap as well (it's rare you get a decent pub meal for a decent price, and a complementary pint to boot). That's probably the reason that we ended up coming here so often - the cheap food (and also because some of our friends would make their way here as well). Oh, I should also mention that they do have an outdoor area, but it's basically on the side of the road.

We decided to visit Harry's bar on Thursday evening for dinner as they were offering 20% off…read moreeverything on their menu from 4-8pm. I heard they do good steaks but I was craving for a burger so being the smart me, I ordered a steak burger. Turns out there wasn't 20% off this one but it was a good deal of $10 with any drink of your choice! We also ordered the 300g rump steak and the Panko crumbed prawns, which consisted of a good serve of 10 prawns, tartare sauce, chips and salad. Much to my disappointment, my order was forgotten and I had to wait for half an hour before it arrived. The waitress was very kind and apologised for the delay and even offered me another drink! I was going to turn a blind eye to the food delay until I bit into my burger! The steak patty was chewy and I just could not take another bite. At this point, it was already past 8.30pm which is when the kitchen closes but the waitress was again, kind enough to re-make my order. I decided to swap to Panko crumbed prawns instead and they happily did it for me. Overall, I wouldn't say this was a completely bad experience. Yes, the steak burger is a definitely a no-no for me on my next visit but the rump steak, which I got to taste, was surprisingly quite tender. The good service also made my experience a whole lot better. Harry's bar has a nice old country pub feel as you enter, so I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet spot to drink. They do also have partitions if you're wanting to organise your next function here.

Years ago, when I used to live in Adelaide, this used to be a pretty ordinary pub - basically a…read moresports bar and that was it. Maybe I didn't dig too deep into the place, or maybe it was just that it was only a sports bar, but when I came back here recently they had completely opened up the uppper level. Oh, as it is with Adelaide, sure enough when I wandered into this pub I ran straight into a couple of old friends of mine, so I ended up killing some time with them. They actually had a decent selection of beers on tap, and the balcony was also pretty cool. In fact it is a much better addition to the Adelaide pub scene that this place used to be.

There are 4 exclusive parts to the Jetty Bar…read more Take a step back in time to the front bar, when this drinking hole was known to locals as The St Vincent Hotel (The joys of dating a Cougar). Excluding a fresh coat of paint, updated carpet, the front bar bar is still in original form (including the regulars that drink there). Look out for the snake bite specials, going out at 10 bucks a jug. You can still catch a local rock/punk band playing on your favourite night of the week (I can't remember what night that is). A step through the corridor and past an ATM, will take you to another bar with big screen TV's and a decent coctail menu. Bi-fold glass doors open up to Moseley Square. This place is more upmarket, so leave your flannel shirt and the previous bar, and whack on your Don Travisty instead. If you're over front bar action, head to rear bistro which has the vibe and decor that reflects a Goldcoast Casino in the 90's. The schnittys are hot, and still at fair bistro prices. Finish your meal to the ambience of a water feature, and if you need time to re-coup, the pokies are just to the right. When you're ready to move on, take 5 steps to the rear car park, or continue on to "The G"

The Jetty Hotel is one of the oldest pubs in the bay. While it has undergone some cosmetic changes…read morein recent years the actual layout still remains pretty well unchanged from how it used to look when it went by the name the St Vincent Hotel. Interestingly when the pub first opened back in 1869, it was known as The Jetty Hotel so it has gone back to its original name. If you like to listen to some music while you sip your drink, The Jetty has live bands on most Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. When the bands aren't playing they have a jukebox in the front bar that's rocking from 7 each night and on Wednesdays you can get into a bit of karaoke if that's your thing. The Jetty Hotel isn't a ritzy experience. It's the kind of pub where you have a beer and put your bets on if you're in the front bar but it is a good place to watch the world go by. If you're in the market for a bite to eat, you can get a good feed either in the front bar or the Watergarden Bistro. They also have a café and a function room to accommodate close to 150 people. Should you so desire you can stay at The Jetty. It has 16 rooms and the rooms are well priced.

All I have to say is that I absolutely love this place. Despite the fact that it is what I call a…read more'Railway Pub' (namely a pub that is really close to a railway station that you can jump off the train on the way home from work, grab a beer, and then jump back on the next train) I never went here all that often, despite living on the railway line that went past it. However, as I have suggested, this is an awesome pub, if only because of the Colonial India theme that literally permeates the place. It is more of a restaurant than a pub, though it does have a front bar. One of the great things about this pub though is that there are lots of little rooms which you can book for your dinner party, meaning that you can dine in private. Certainly a place to check out, especially if you are looking for a place to have a dinner party (I've done it and it was great).

I haven't been here for years.. Now I'm kicking myself…read more What got me there? Watching a new outdoor area being built, that had a sign out the front saying $7.00 Curries in Mondays* in the RajaBar. How could I NOT give that a go as it's just up the road from me. I am really glad I did. There are plenty of choices from the mildest Butter Chicken up to a 'Fire in a Bowl' Fish Vindaloo (well, they were the options tonight) Although the pricing is bargain basement, the flavours and serving size is anything but. All are served with Rice, Raita and Naan (Garlic or plain). *One stipulation is that a drink must be purchased per meal. Of course there are other options from full A La Carte (with plenty of curries) and even Brazilian Churrasco spit in the Backyard Beer Garden Available Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Public holidays. 12 noon - 10pm

WTAF happened here??!!! Looks like a lovely heritage listed…read morepub from the outside... like the typical local that you would go to for a nice cold pint of Adelaide made beer (that being West End Draught, especially considering this "pub" is located in the exact same vicinity as the famous South Australian West End brewery), but low and behold... no West End in sight. And it only gets worse from here. Open the front bar door only to walk into an awkwardly constructed dining room, with overhead lights shining so bright that you'd expect it to be a sports bar... however there is no TAB, no Keno, absolutely zero pokies zone, and worst of all, NO BEER GARDEN. It's 2018. No alfresco = no regular customers. Think about your atmosphere. It should be comfortable and inviting. Local customers walk into a pub with the comfort in knowing what to expect. But this venue looks like 'street side' seating has been thrown at the entrance. Anyway I could go on, I just hope this place either does a 180, or sells to a new owner. Oh and I forgot to mention that there is NO HAPPY HOUR and no menu specials. Extremely overpriced. No vegan or GF options. -10/10 would not recommend. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!

Despite - or perhaps because of - my hipsterishness, I have however tried to acquire a taste for all three of these things. The Rosemont isn't exactly a regular of mine. But occasionally when I've had a few free wines at an opening and am heading back to the east side of Hindley - or when I've had a few more beers and I'm heading somewhere on the west side of Hindley - I stop at the Rosemont to drink their cheap long island ice teas (Thursday nights) or to try and learn how to play pool adequately. In true sports bar style, the murky red carpet and the multitude of tv screens and flashy pokies usually makes me dizzy before I've even had my first drink there. To put it politely, it's a pretty rowdy place. This suits me fine past 9pm, but in the middle of the day when I walk past I do feel a bit uncomfortable. Top tip: You don't usually need more than one cheap long island ice tea.

Day life and night life merge into one, as this place is open from Dusk until Dawn. The bar offers Daytona, Buck-hunter, and pool tables for those that like their non-contact sports.

Whether you tune into Gaelic Football, Rugby, Lawn Bowls, or the old sheep dog trials hosted by John Waters, there's a sports channel for you. Who's Keno? I am :)

It is so refreshing. If you're not looking hard enough you would easily miss it. Walk in and it's like the prohibition era, from the grungy shelves to the dark, moody decor and booths to the sad music. It is easily one of the best themed cocktail bars in Adelaide. Drinks are fantastic. Some bars have expensive drinks for not much and they don't taste great. Not at Baddog, they are top notch and the barman does it right in front of you on the bar so you don't miss a thing. Brilliant. Best find of the year for me so far.

Zack has built an amazing speak easy style bar that makes you feel like you've ducked back in time…read moreto a prohibition era. The waist coats, crystal glasses and twisted stainless steel and silver spoons all work to make this a top spot for a cocktail or cheeky beer. A maestro of the common and rare cocktails and a range of spirits you wont find in many bars Zack makes this bar. Sitting at the bar is mandatory for the first drink in my opinion then sneak off to the lux booths for quiet and intimate drinks. Its dark, has very cool décor and edgy clean bathrooms. Bad Dog Bar doesn't have tvs, doesn't have pokies and doesn't have tap beer and for goodness sakes never order an apple-tini :) and that's the way we like it. Top Tip: order the pickleback - rye bourbon shot followed by some freshly made pickle juice. The SMoking Joint cocktail is also a fav!
