Well, when I first came across this pub the thing that stood out were all of the bars on the…read morewindows. In fact it looked more like a prison than a pub, but then again this is Elizabeth. However I think this place is actually really cool. It is not the busiest, or noisiest of places, which means that I can come here for a quiet drink and know that I am not going to be disturbed. I've also been told that this place happens to be a favourite for some of the engineers that work down at the RAAF base, which to me, gives this place a lot more dignity. I even ended up having a chat with somebody about blogging and the internet, which I would never have expected to happen in Elizabeth.

Yeah, if you know anything about Elizabeth then you are going to have a pretty good idea about what…read moreto expect from this pub. Okay, the first time I came here for a drink the patrons were actually quite friendly, however the second time they appeared to be increadibly xenophobic (and they didn't even know I was from Victoria, but then again considering how I dress they could probably tell that I wasn't from around those parts). Personally, I wouldn't recommend going to this place even if there were absolutely no other places to go to, but fortunately that isn't the case at this time, so if you happen to be driving down Phillip Hwy and see this pub and are thinking of checking it out then take my advice - keep driving.

We stopped for a bite to eat here, and enjoyed the experience very much. Being Yanks from the…read moremiddle of the USA, we would never have found this place if it was not for my sister from Perth showing us around. The outdoor seating was where we chose to be, and the setting was just delightful. We strolled around a bit looking at all the different eating/drinking areas available, and then settle in to have a very nice luncheon. After eating and settling our bill, we rubbernecked all around the old hotel. I think this would be a charming place to spend a night. A very enjoyable experience.

To be honest, I'm still not really all that sure about this pub, though it seems to have had a bit…read moreof a transformation since I was a kid - however I have to admit that it wasn't all that much. I still remember that when I was a kid that this place had a reputation, and it wasn't all that good, which meant that for most of my adult life I have been incredibly hesitant visiting this place. I finally decided to do so and I'm going to have to admit that it isn't all that bad, but not all that fantastic either. Sure, it might be better than it used to be, but I wouldn't go into the sports bar. However it does have a huge beer garden, as well as a pretty large restaurant, so it does have its good points.

You can have meals in or outside in a beer garden that can seat 80+. it's got a large pokies room, a sports bar, a restaurant and a stage area. $2 for gravy. Not special gravy, or extra gravy, just to have any topping even the most basic on your shnitty. The food is pretty standard pub fare, if a little pricy for a pub with pokies ($16 schnitzel chips and salad, $18 with gravy) House wine is cask, but only $4. They are dedicated to a live music scene here which is great news if you love the great rock bands of your youth. You can come on weekends and hear some quality cover bands give your memories a tickle.

There is one major reason that I give this rather ordinary hotel a high rating and that is because…read moreI left $40.00 sitting on the counter for some completely unknown reason and the next thing I knew one of the staff had come up to me and handed it back. Seriously, you never get honesty on that scale (actually you probably do, but then again I generally don't make a habit of leaving money sitting on the bar - I must have had one of those blank moments). Anyway, this pub is actually nothing all that fantastic, though it is one of the first pubs that you hit when you enter Adelaide along the Port Wakefield Road. Basically it has everything you would expect from your standard pub - pokies, a bistro, and a TAB, as well as an adjoining motel. Still, the honesty of the staff in this place must be applauded.
