This pub was a little hit and miss. When I first popped into Lobethal it was closed, though that…read morewas probably because it was Christmas. However, when I managed to get back, it had opened up again. It felt somewhat older than many of the other pubs in the area, which I have to admit was pretty cool, and there was a nice verandah out the front where one could sit, though I have to admit that the foot traffic isn't particularly huge. Still, as a place for a beer it isn't too bad, even though the beer selection isn't particularly huge.

The Rising Sun Hotel is a rather small hotel in Lobethal at the top of the Main Road. The hotel is…read morerather dated looking inside and out. There is a small dining area that had plastic table clothes with plastic chairs. The bar area was very narrow all round with seating on stools only. So...with a genuinely tired looking pub what makes it good..... well that would be the prices! $5 for all aussie pints and $6 for all imperial is an excellent offer. Also on offer is a range of different shots such as Jager Bombs, Jam Donuts and Skittle Bombs...which is a little strange for country hotel. Unfortunately we never got to eat here as we went on Pageant day and didn't think i would have to book - turns out i was wrong so the limited dining area filled very quickly. However the food i witnessed look going to people looks to be good serves of everything and i will be head back one day to try! When i get to try the food it may up the stars...but for a place to drink there is better available in Lobethal if you dont mind paying a little more!

I recently stayed at the Richmond Hotel and was placed on the same floor and very nearby a VERY…read moreloud party. When I checked in, I was not informed of the party and was not provided an option to be further away from the party. By the time I realized there was an event, reception was already closed. The situation was absolutely unacceptable. I am all for people having a good time and I'm happy that party goers were making the absolute best time of themselves. However, non-partygoers should never have been placed in the room I was provided. The party was exceedingly loud with guests screaming (chants of some sort?), singing happy birthday multiple times at very loud volume, going out into the hallway (in front of my room) and being very loud. Attempts to contact reception were fruitless, as it was long since closed and they did not have any staff answering calls The party ended by about 11:30, but party goers were still out and making noise for approximately another hour. I'd hoped to talk to reception and request a refund when I left, but was unable to,as reception was closed when I left ( a Sunday). I attempted to contact the hotel via multiple electronic means for four days before I finally received a response. While they apologized and said they would refund my stay, no refund has been received and it was over a week ago. I've never seen such terrible customer service and would not recommend this hotel to anybody.

Ever wonder how Will Smith felt in I Am Legend (during the vampire-less daytime that is), when…read morethere was nobody around and he could have his run of the place? Kinda feels like Hotel Richmond, a place so steeped in the lost art of privacy that I feel like I'm the only guest in the hotel. I'm not. There are others. Many others, courtesy of Mad March and the V8 supercars, WOMACK, and the Adelaide Fringe Festival. There's only one room free in the whole shake shack, and yet it feels like I own the place. That's not easy to do. Tucked into an unassuming little Clark Kent doorway in Rundle Mall, Hotel Richmond is blessed with large rooms, lush bathrooms and beds so comfy you have to fight to get out of them in the morning. And the concierge Shane saw I was from Sydney and asked if I liked the NRL. Adelaide don't even have an NRL team but he was kind enough to ask, which I appreciated all the more when I checked in late at night. I haven't even left and already I'm looking forward to coming back.

I'm not really sure why it took so long for me to get around to reviewing this place because it is…read moreactually a pretty decent pub. Okay, I haven't been here all that often, despite walking past here quite a few times (it is conveniently located opposite the central markets and across the road from Her Majesty's theatre). The pub has a lovely restaurant with a non-smoking beer garden (all the smokers end up at the tables on Grote Street, which tends to get pretty crowded on a Friday). The bar itself is also really nice, though does get pretty crowded as well. They have an okay selection of beers available, but it is one of those Adelaide pubs that I do really like.

For years I never thought much of the Metropolitan Hotel…read more Trashy sports bar, seats out the front look ok, never really bothered to look out the back. Until a couple of weeks ago that was, when I saw a bunch of kids trundling in with guitars, amps and the like which roused my curiosity. After drinking a beer at the bar next door and then witnessing another couple of young punks with instruments heading in my curiosity overwhelmed me and I was forced to follow suit. To my surprise, in the back corner of the Metropolitan was a music venue! Not knowing then and certainly not recalling now the names of the bands performing, I paid the $5 entry fee (well actually my girlfriend paid the $5 entry fee for me cos I couldn't afford it) and headed in. Completely out of place and somewhat resembling the aspect of an early Beasty Boys film clip, the venue presented a low lying stage in the back corner of a dimly lit and sparsely furnished room. Furnished, really, only with the gauntly bodies of young punks haunched against the walls. But the most amazing thing was, that I was witnessing this from outside, from a beer garden in which I could not only see and hear the band playing, but I could also smoke. Surely now unique in Adelaide and fundamentally a thing of the past the Metropolitan presents a venue where one can watch live music, drink a beer and smoke at the same time. As for the quality of the music, well, that's never really been much of a concern anyway.

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.

5 start hotel just not up to scratch…read more Firstly, this is not a whingefest, just a really disappointing experience which I find inexcusable for a 5 star hotel. Lot of little things resulted in a poor stay. - stained sheets (rust or blood) which we were promised would be changed immediately, but an hour later still nothing done. - restaurant (Riverside) just not on par. From giving away our table one morning after we'd been seated to having my breakfast delivered to the wrong table the next, non-existent service and limited dinner menu, it was just not good enough. - incorrect information bring given by concierge about availability of hire bikes - beds had a distinct ridge in the middle (no doubt result of 2 singles being pushed together) which made it very uncomfortable In short, it says 5 stars, but it really isn't and probably shouldn't market itself as such.

Most part very good experience I had here however I didn't enjoy how people under 15 can't work out…read moreI'm trying to work out and can't because of it and also how you can't refund breakfast when we accidentally bought it

I would complain about the limited beer selection at this pub, but honestly, it is a country pub so…read moreyou should really expect that. Well, not quite country, but it is located in a town that is generally not frequented by the tourists, even though it is still technically suburban Adelaide. However, the thing I liked about this pub was the service - it was amazing. Yeah, it really made me feel welcome. Oh, and they had an outdoor area set up out the front, and it was in a tent as well, which was pretty cool.

Visited this place over the weekend for my mums birthday lunch. Lovely atmosphere, wonderful staff…read morewho were extremely friendly and helpful and the food seemed to be good. The only complaint I have is a constant one, I understand its a pub lunch and its great, the food was amazing for everyone but myself as I am a vegetarian. Whilst some meals could be made vegetarian such as the ceaser salad (take out the bacon, anchovies and you get a generic salad - not exciting), there was not a singular item on the mains menu that was strictly vego. So i ordered the trio of dips and some chips. I noticed there was Haloumi on the menu so asked the waitress if I could also have a side of that. However, when it was brought out....the Haloumi was not cooked It had been cubed and was raw. I regret not speaking up but I had already had to negotiate and so I just went with it. It wasn't very nice. The servings were great and I felt full but all I had was carbs so it wasn't really a happy full belly. My suggestion is to pop something on the menu to suit vegos and vegans. Something other than a risotto, lasagna or vege stack. We're people too. Sometimes its not by choice but for health reasons. Include us please! And stock up on soy milk guys, its not hard! And Haloumi should always be served cooked. Always. That's the point. Its fried cheese.

I am surprised that I never knew of this place until recently, especially since I lived down in…read morethis area at one time. I guess it happened to be that I didn't actually spend all that much time wandering about back then. Anyway, this pub isn't bad, and in fact, it is one of those back street pubs. However, despite it being located in the back streets, there wasn't much in the way of nice beers on tap. Still, other than that this pub isn't too bad.

Had dinner here last Wednesday before the Amazing Beyonce concert and a few other people had the…read moresame idea but it was not overly packed which was nice... The renovations look great and even the female bathroom was lovely and spacious and lots of mirrors... The food was good and nice size servings. As a starter we had the mustard seed and parmesan bread and that was delish... I had the crab pasta for the main which was a little different to the usual ones I've had. It was in a diablo sauce which I have never tried before and had a strong chilli flavour which I don't mind a bit of but that was a little over powering. My friend had the steak which was served on mash but she said she felt like it needed a green veggie in there but I think that us something you can order as a side dish. She had asked for it to be cooked medium but I think it came out more med-well done. Overall a nice restaurant food wise but they did take a long time to clear our plates away after we had finished and a few little things I asked for like a wedge if lemon, never made it to our table then we had asked to see the dessert menu and they had forgotten so had to ask again. Attention to detail please... It's another restaurant in the entertainment book so great value.

It took me a while to get to this pub, but honestly it was definitely worth the wait. Okay, one of…read morethe tricky parts is that it does happen to be out in the hills, just outside of Adelaide, and not in one of the more touristy areas either, which makes it almost delightful. I'm not quite sure if it is a brewery, but as a pub it is actually pretty awesome, not just because of the views on the deck out the back, but also because of the huge range of beers that they have available as well. It's definitely a place worth checking out.

I love this part of Adelaide! Just a short drive from Tea Tree Gully, the road towards Inglewood is…read moregorgeous and during winter/spring, the greenery and surrounds is reminiscent of an English countryside. We visited the Inglewood Inn for a birthday lunch and left feeling full and very content. The inn, which was established in 1857, has recently been renovated over the last couple of years. The pub has a lovely quaint feel. We were seated undercover in the enclosed newer decking area with windows overlooking the grounds and farm surrounds. The outdoor area has a lovely setting for weddings, and the nearby hills and sheep create a picture perfect scene. There's an outdoor beer garden with bar, also great for events. I ordered the beef cheek pie. A huge serve - the delicious pastry was full to the brim with a juicy gravy and tender beef. The apple chutney created a sweet balance, amd delicately accompanied by mashed potato. The kilpatrick oysters were a good starter; but a surprise was the seafood platter which provided a very generous serving and a good selection. My favourite was the big pieces of salt and pepper squid. It tasted so fresh and cooked perfectly. The service was prompt and very friendly. A fantastic place if you're after a lovely weekend drive, a hearty meal, and a glass of wine to wash it all down! I'm looking forward to visiting again!
