Tried for dinner and not as good but for a Monday night in mid winter in an area where good food is hard to come by I would still recommend it. Despite issues with the girl who served us the food was ok and compared to the hellhole hotel we ate at the night before it was great! The Anchor steam beer was great too!

The gentle, pleasant odour of the salty, splashing azure waters just over the other side of the bowls club gives that signature seaside getaway sense. The memories of the hunger for fish n chips, sand in between your toes and a light touch of sunburn come flooding back as we walk in the door. It's good to be back. Although this time, instead of fish and chips, we opted to share the tomahawk steak dinner special with tapas starters. Oh man, two of my most favouritest meal varieties in all the world, combined into one utterly decadent dinner treat for the senses! Between three adults and one child, we plowed through the delish tapas treats and the perfectly cooked steak with aplomb. Service was outstanding. Friendly, not too OTT, timely, discreet and open to questions/providing suggestions. By the end of the meal, I was well-fed, laughing heartily, wine-soaked like an upper-class pirate, and just about ready for a dip in the sea! It's not an obvious destination if you're in from out of state, but well worth a visit if you can find it.

Fantastic place for dinner. Definitely worth our drive from kingscote to here. The sunset is…read morebeautiful so book a table early outside for the best view of the sunset. The best time is probably 6pm sitting in the summer to time for the sunset at the end. The sunset view is incredible here. For the quality of food, one is definitely getting incredible value for what you pay here. When we arrive for our new year eve dinner, we were greeted with two glasses of pol roger, which is a fantastic start. We stood on the porch to enjoy the view before the meal started. The set menu is quite well proportioned. Not too much food or too rich. Everything was put together with ultimate care, without the excessive pretentiousness and molecular gastronomy of top restaurants. Everything was excellent. My favorites were: Oysters with cape Malay dressing: amazing concoction. Super fresh oyster but the best part of this dish is in the sauce. A bit of acidity perfectly balanced with a splash of chili oil. Arguably the best oyster I have ever had. Blini with hand picked crab, cucumber, and ikura - beautiful presentation. The blini is warm and soft and forms the cradle for the best of the ingredients. Ikura usually tastes a bit raw and overwhelmingly salty on its own. Here it was blended into the blini and crab into a delightful bite that piques your appetite to discover more. ---- The rest: Lamb tartare - pretty good. Interesting seaweed wrap for this. Salmon sashimi - super fresh sashimi. A bit bland. Ask for a sea salt and additional lime to brighten this dish. Pork belly and loin - like the sweet cabbage addition to this. More traditional dish. St George whiting with pumpkin broth - love the fish with the broth. The fish is perfectly cooked. I didn't care for the greens on top (it may be broccoli). Cheese supplement - nothing special. Can skip this course. Chocolate mousse with pistachio, cherry, and peach sorbet - this is probably my least favorite within the menu. The rich chocolate clashes a bit with the acidity of the cherry and peach sorbet. I had to eat the two parts separately. I liked the fruits more than the chocolate. --- For the wine by the glass, I had the lane vineyard Chardonnay. It was great with the meal. If one is driving after dinner, it's best to ration the wine intake given the wild animals on the road at night. Our waitress was a lady who just got engaged to the British chef who runs the place a week before our dinner (congrats!). She was super friendly and very helpful.

Anyway, I noticed this pub when I was on the tourist train that runs along the coast and decided to come in and check it out afterwards. Well, as it turns out coming here a dinner time during the holidays is probably not recommended because this place was absolutely packed. In fact it was impossible to move through the front bar. However, we eventually found ourselves a seat out the back. Like many of the pubs this place as a nice restaurant out the back, and also has some decent craft beers on tap as well, but then again this pub is a lot more touristy than others I've been to. It's nice, but you need to watch out when you go there as it does get packed.

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.

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!

Okay, it is a bit of a trek to reach, and it is also effectively in the middle of nowhere (though I am sure if you are determined enough you could walk, or at least ride a bike), but for me at least, it was certainly worth it. Okay, the pub itself is your typical country pub, and you can be assured that the publican knows everybody who walks in through the door on a first name basis (except for people like me who trek up from the city just to have a beer). They have a pretty nice beer garden, however it is one of those beer gardens that it basically a converted backyard, complete with two yappy dogs that want to play with you while you are having a beer. This pub certainly has a character of its own, and I know I would be very tempted to stop by here again if I am ever in the area.
