I generally love this place but it was hectic today and service was slow considering it was salad and chips type stuff... however... food was good and hot and it was the night of the Queen concert so maybe I shouldnt be so picky ... I will come here again but not when Im in a hurry .... read more

London Tavern - Chicken strips that took 30 mins .... hmmm - Pubs Near Me - Adelaide, SA

13/12/2011 1 photo It's more than just a pub, it's also a restaurant nightclub. Once you step in, one will immediately be hit by the combination of colourful blue, red and black surrounding walls and the posh and classy impression of London Tavern is not for the weak. The customer service attendant is already there waiting, ready for your order and if you don't know what you want, you will be asked to sit down with your menu and have a quick scan of the many choices. Their one-of-a-kind interior design is a type I've never seen before in a pub - think Valentine's Day meets Saturday Night Disco Club. This takes lunch in the city to a new level! I stopped by after work to enjoy a quick glass of lemon lime bitters and decided to try their eye-catching yet mouthful 'London Burger' for the first time, and the generous serve of beef definitely got rid of my hunger within the first few bites. My one and only caution: I really liked how well the London burger was set up and presented, and this compensates for the extra amount of time it took for them to prepare it. However, please don't leave the fat on the bacon, or put way too much lettuce in the burger. I don't mind having bacon in my burger, but please cut off the fat. I did like their indoor elements of food, bar, and nightclub but you either get intoxicated rude customers or a very low attendance of customers, and I hate waiting for ages in the lineup on Saturday night, when they remove all the tables and magically transform into a nightclub. By the way, please remove that photo-taking booth in front of the toilets. I personally don't see the need for that in a pub/nightclub. Oh yeah, there seems to be nothing stopping the intoxicated customers raving on about something bad that happened to them during their day. read more

See all

British Pub. Check. Restaurant. Check. Nightclub. Check. The London Tavern does a lot. It has a surprisingly large amount of floor space hidden under their tables. They do probably the best schnitzels inside the mall, they also have some great daily $11.90 lunch specials. Monday - Schnitzel, Tuesday - Fish & Chips, Wednesday - Curry Day, Thursday's - $12.90 300gm MSA Rump Steak & Friday's - Stir-Fry day. As far as it's nightclub aspect, it's often quite busy on weekend nights. A great place to start your night. read more

London Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Adelaide, SA

The London, or the Tav, however you may know it, is a medium sized cheap club under the Myer Centre on North Terrace. It is very accessible as the O-Bahn buses stop literally on the doorstep. Its usually free to get in, although they might have started charging lately, but the drink specials are ah-mazing! $3.50 base spirits and $5 shots are frequently on sale. I know one of the bar girls too, so that is always handy. The decor is quite minimal, with some booths on the right, bench seats on the left/middle and around the corner there is more of a private section (which no one ever seems to be in for some reason). The music is very pop/top 40 so expect to hear the radio remixed and songs repeated even. There are podiums on the dance floor which always get crowded with intoxicated rowdy people so I never feel safe near them. They do offer pub food during the day, but due to their location right underneath the Myer Centre, pretty much in the foodcourt but invisible, I don't think they get too many customers in that department. The toilets have hair straighteners in them too which is always a talking point at the sink. read more

London Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Adelaide, SA

As previous reviews have mentioned, the London Tav is a restaurant / pub by day and a seedy bar filled with drunk girls and cheap drinks by night. That really does sum it up but I guess I should probably say a little more. The London is one of the first places that many young revelers go after turning 18 (well...they did in my day...). That's just the kind of demographic you'll find here. Free entry on Fridays but they charge a cover fee after 10pm (I think) on Saturdays. The drinks, however, are still cheap. If beer's your thing, you're set - you can get em for $2 here! Add in $3 wines and $3 skittle bombs and you'll be getting low with shawty on the dancefloor in no time! The floors are sticky, though and the toilets are an absolute disgrace (you can smell them before you get to them....) That being said, this place is still a lot of fun, with the DJ consistently playing floor fillers, if you're up for a fun spirited night of dancing and don't really care about being seen where the cool kids hang, then you'll be alright here! read more

I remember coming down here during my time at secondary college at the end of every term and taking the games room all to ourselves. We had some great times down here then, though the games room has long since gone. In more recent times we made this one of our regular spots for Friday lunches (namely because the guy who organised them worked in the building above the Myer Centre and was too lazy to pick anything that was more than an elevator's journey away). I've even been down here on Friday and Saturday nights when the restaurant suddenly vanishes to be replaced by a night-club. It tends to be quite dark down here so that is probably why I never notice the 18 year olds all jumping up and down on the dance floor, but we still had fun. read more

Not too sure what to make of this place! Its is underground so no windows or outdoor spaces for a start! However i have only been here during the day...so not sure how lively/kicking it is at night.....seems to have the dance floor and lighting etc so i guess it is a good spot!! The daytime is where im not sure about it though.... i have turned up here 3 times looking for pub lunch and always found it to be really empty, the tables and chairs stacked - so no choice of seats, no menus anywhere and hardly any staff! There are adverts on the TV's and walls about food but im yet to see any!! Maybe i should try another time of day....! read more

The London is located on North terrace, also you can get into it by going in the myer center on rundlemall on the bottom floor in the corner of the food court. Been here a few times mostly in the day/afternoon for a quick drink, each time it has been really quite, but have heard it can get busy here at nights. The place has plenty of space and seating aswell as a good size dance floor. read more

I would love to accompany a health inspector through this venue. I believe the exchange would go a little something like this: 'Excuse me manager, is that a.. a drunk girl, under the couch there?' 'Why yes Mister Health Inspector, I believe it is.' 'Uhh huh. How long would you say she's been there?' 'Ooh by the looks of her... since Friday? Usually takes about forty eight hours for the under eighteens to stand up again. It's four dollar vodkas on Fridays, you see.' Cheap drinks! Cheap drinks! Did you kids hear they have cheap drinks? This place is a bit of a dive on weekends, but it's a damn popular one for the many reasons listed above. Do not go here to meet people because the people often get into fights. Do not go here to have a nice chat, because it gets bloody rowdy Saturday nights. Go here to drink. And for God sakes if your friend tells you not to hook up with that girl or guy, listen to them, you're pissed. read more

My friend suggested to go to the London Tavern for lunch, I said NO! The last time I was at the London was 2/3 months ago and the place was disgusting the floor was sticky (because some Genius thought it was a good idea to have carpet in a nightclub)it smelt like dirty feet the food was dry and beer was overpriced. So we went in and WOW the place was so clean it smelt like lavender, the floor was not sticky and the food was much better and the beer was well priced Who ever you have cleaning you need to keep them they are doing an amazing job The chief you need to keep as the food taste really read more

This place is pretty sweet. I cant comment on the restaurant part, since ive never actually been, but the club side of the London is awesome, especially for a uni student like me. The drinks here are so cheap and you can get free entry before 10. Its the best place to drink in town on a budget. The place brings in a very diverse demographic so it doesn't feel like the same club every night. They also play pretty popular music which i like and the security had been nothing but friendly to me! Only criticism is that sometimes, the place gets a bit busy and it can take a bit to get a drink. Other than that, i love this place! read more

I'm not a club goer. I dance like Chandler from 'Friends', so I try to keep from doing it too often. I like to sit and sip and chew the fat. And it's very hard to do that in a place like 'The London'. But something happened to me here at my last visit, and this even (though it ought to have traumatised me) is responsible for the generous rating. They were going around with a tray offering six dollar tequila shots. Most people emit a groan of remembrance (which is somewhat contradictory, considering the amnesiac properties of the drug) when they hear the word 'tequila', but I'd never had any bad experience with it. Now, however, I've joined the throng of groaners, but for what I assume is a very different reason. A friend and I went up for the shot. We paid our six dollars. I, ever the gentleman, let my friend go first. She performed flawlessly. I, however, did not. I laid out my plan of attack. First, down the shot. Next, lick the salt. Finally, grab the slice of lime. Bam - bam! Shot down, salt licked. I wrenched my head up from its licking position and sought out a lime. They were piled atop a plate, which was held up a tray. I noticed some of the slices had fallen off the plate. In my drowsy mode of thought, I decided to play an ever greater gentleman. I'd take one of the limes that had fallen off the plate. That way, there'd be one less for the bartendress to clean up off the tray afterwards. Smooth. Of course, it turns out all the limes that WEREN'T on the plate were used limes. So, the bit of lime I gripped between my powerful jaws and ripped to shreds had already been filled with the saliva of another person at the club. I don't know who. I guess I don't want to know. But now I laugh to myself whenever I pass The London. And just as we live so we do not die, and love so we do not hate, we laugh so we do not cry. read more

The Tav works on quite a few levels but mainly as a pub and a pretty sweet night club. I didn't realise that they served lunch here until meeting up with a.friend at the Malls Balls and ending up here. Meals are your stock-standard pub fare and well priced for a city eatery. I've always found the meals to come out speedily and to be nicely cooked and fairly tasty. Drinks are expectedly varied with a decent range of beers, wines and ciders on offer, but the cocktail menu really shows off this venues true colours as a late night venue. Saturday and Friday nights are generally the best time to go, but it really gets started at 1 am. There isn't a charge to get in although there is a door list on some nights so expect to be left waiting occasionally. Drink specials run all night, some times $5 vodkas or two for ones up to a certain time. Staff are crazy quick here so expect drinks to be churned out rapid fast. I've always loved the music here and always find something to dance to and the DJs are understandably exuberant. The most important part for ladies on the town is the bathroom situation, and you will be pleasantly surprised that queues are short (for a club) and they do clean the bathrooms throughout the night (yay!). read more

I've been to the Tav a few time for meals. In that respect, it's a great place. The food has an interesting twist on general pub fodder and it comes at bargain basement prices. A smart move on their part considering how much student traffice they get walking past and in on the weekends. The decor's a bit off for a place you just want to sit down and have a munch, but I keep coming back However, the club aspect of the Tav is pretty damn seedy. I've been one or twice and didn't stick around long. The music is quite average and the patrons are pissed out of their heads. I've seen countless fights outside the Tav. Then again, the drink specials are alluring. There's probably a connection in there somewhere. If you're looking for a big night out, or a link in the chain of your pub crawl, head to the Tav, but for a few quiet beers, you'd best try elsewhere. read more

Great food, great service. Crazy guy who just stares at you from a distance, noticed him twice now. Can't they kick him out? read more
