Udaberri

May 1, 2012 Bar Reviews

date of visit: Thursday 26 April 2012 Udaberri Pintxos y Vinos is the new cool kid on Adelaide’s bar scene. It’s at the northern end of Leigh Street, and if you don’t know it’s there and you’re not looking you won’t spot it. Wait. I knew it was there and I was looking and I [...]

Cork Wine Cafe

March 6, 2012 Bar Reviews

    date of visit: Saturday 3 March 2012 Our dinner reservation was quite late (8:30pm) so it would have been plain rude NOT to go somewhere for a drink first. Cork Wine Café has been on my radar for a while – plenty of people I follow on twitter seem to be semi-regulars there [...]

Hotel Royal

November 21, 2011 Bar Reviews

    date of visit: Saturday 19 November 2011 A recent, quickly organised, family get together saw a group of 8 of us book ourselves into the Hotel Royal, on Henley Beach Road, for a late lunch/afternoon tea.

Seven Stars Hotel

August 30, 2011 Bar Reviews

Photo thanks to Scenic Adelaide.  date of visit: Tuesday 16 August 2011 Often a meal out, especially to a pub, simply involves turning up, ordering a chicken schnitzel parmigiana, eating said schnittie and then going home.

Rob Roy Hotel

September 26, 2010 Bar Reviews

date of visit:  Thurs Sept 16 2010 PUB QUIZ:  the Rob Roy runs a pub quiz every second Wednesday.  Please contact the pub for further details.! The Rob Roy Hotel is, perhaps, a little out of the way of most city centre workers – after all, you have to get all the way down Pulteney [...]

The Stag

November 10, 2009 Bar Reviews

date of visit:  Monday 2 Nov 2009 We’ve been drinking visitors at the Stag on previous occasions – sucked in by the imperial pints and spacious, generally calm atmosphere we can put up with the slightly steep prices.  On the food front the Stag sells itself as “serious about meat” with a menu covering pub [...]

Hotel Tivoli

October 24, 2009 Bar Reviews

Date of visit:  Friday 12 June 2009 By the time we tried to book for dinner at the Tiv Friday night was all full up.  No matter, in the long run, because we ended up eating at the excellent Farina.  That didn’t stop us heading there for a recce in the guise of a pre-dinner [...]
