Possibly the most creative name for a pub in the state, The Halway Hotel is located Halfway between…read morePort Adelaide and The City. In the ye olden days it used to be a traditional stop for those making the treck, but nowadays if you can't hold onto your thirst then you really have a problem.....like me! There isn't too much special about the Halfway, it is just a normal, common Adelaide Pub that caters for the family looking for an inexpensive night out and the pokie punters. One point of interest is that the front bar is seperated from the rest of the establishment by the bottle 'o, which I think promotes a strong family unity.....dad drinks with the boys and mum is out the back with the kids (grandma is on the pokes)! Everyone wins! They, like most pubs, do have weekly specials and functions, with pub poker on Tuesday nights and a 50's/60's band playing every last Friday night of the month.

I do wonder at times why I would never step inside for a beer, but a part of me realises that maybe back in those days there wasn't anything all that interesting inside - just old men sitting at the bar drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. In fact the pubs that I did visit back then were all basically that. However this is another of those pubs that they have completely renovated and it now looks like one of those trendy pubs with a decent beer garden. Mind you the beer garden is basically non-smoking, which does add a change to a lot of the other pubs that you visit. It's not a bad place, but not a pub that I would regularly visit.

I know you can't really fault a stone grill anyway as you have to cook it yourself, however the cut of meat was excellent!

Today's review is for The Woodville Hotel…read more The first thing we noticed was that it had a few different dining areas. The main area was completely booked out so we walked out into "the yard". According to their website, they have recently upgraded and I quite liked this area. Although this is an "outside" area, it's protected from the elements but still allows glorious sunlight to stream on through the windows warming up my chilled bones. The heating in that area helped a bit too!! There were staff bustling about here and there but all were very friendly and eager to please. We looked at the menu and I noticed the regular sort of pub fare that you'd expect from any decent bistro. Nothing really jumped out at me. They had parmi's, steaks, burgers, pizza's and a few seafood options. Because I'd seen this on the menu online before arriving, I knew I was going to order the bruschetta to share with hubby as an entree. It also helped that I saw a serve of this coming out and it looked quite big! For main hubby jumped out of his steak comfort zone and went for the Oven Baked Chicken Breast : Filled with double smoked ham, semi-dried tomato and haloumi cheese served on garlic mash potato and topped with citrus hollandaise I chose the Coorong Beef Rump Parmigiana: With chips, salad and your choice of sauce I swear I'd barely sat back at the table after ordering before the bruschetta came out. I had been craving this and was really really looking forward to it! It didn't disappoint. It looked pretty on the plate. The bread was lovely continental bread, lightly toasted, and the tomatoes were sweet and full of flavour. I just love tomato and basil. Such a heavenly combination! The sticky balsamic added a nice touch too. If I'm being picky I'd say I'd prefer my bread to be a little more toasted but hubby said he liked it just the way it was so that just comes down to personal preference. Unfortunately it was finished just as quick as it came out and now our hunger, rather than being partially satiated, was enraged! We had been warned that hubby's chicken was going to take at least thirty minutes before it was ready however it did seem like it came out sooner than that. Still, I like when you get that warning because then you're not left wondering if they've forgotten your order. Hubby was a little disappointed when he saw his dish. Only because to him, it looked small. I thought it looked ok on the plate but probably could have done with a bigger salad so that the meat didn't look so lonesome and maybe could have done with some fries on there too. I mean when you compare it to what mine was, this is like an itty bitty serve and yet cost quite a bit more than mine. I know that's not how things are priced but when you have a hunger.... There was nothing wrong with the taste of it. Hubby said it was good. Nice flavours throughout but he couldn't get past the size of it. Not that he should have complained really because he ended up eating half of mine! My beef parmi was HUGE! And they were so generous with that cheese!! The meat was good, tender, the tomato sauce was ok and the cheese was gooey as it should be. All good. No complaints. I'm not sure why we weren't "wowed" as there was nothing wrong with anything either of us ate and everyone was lovely to us. Most of the things we saw on the menu I thought were reasonably priced or at least, comparable to other pubs/bistro's. If you're a local or simply looking for a good bistro I would recommend The Woodville. The food is good, the prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and from what I see, there's usually quite a few people about!

When I had arrived in Adelaide one warm December morning, I managed to convince my Day to take the long way home so that we could stop here for a drink. Okay, it is basically what you would expect from your average suburban pub, though it does have a House of Schniztel attached to it (which appears to be a specifically South Australian addition to the ALH chain), meaning that they have a menu with more schnitzel toppings than you could ever try in a lifetime. What I do like about this pub is the beer garden (but then is that not the case with most pubs that have beer gardens), which has quite a nice suburban garden feel to it. Still, it is not necessarily one of those pubs that I would go out of my way to visit.

While I admire everything else such as the pub like environment, semi restaurant feel.. My knowledge of the new schnitzel menu is why I wouldn't come back. The new toppings aren't "traditional" (what most people would order"). I think they have been trying to compare with other restaurants. Despite the unfamiliar topping choices, its cooked to perfection.

I would call this pub an old man's pub, but in reality that makes ol man pubs sound really, really…read morebad when in reality that have a nice charm in and of themselves. The thing with this pub is that it is one of those pubs that when you walk inside the entire patronage look at you as if this isn't a place where strangers are supposed to venture. Well, it's okay if you go into the bistro, or the gaming lounge, but certainly not the sports bar. I guess that is the reason why this pub has basically been off my radar for most of my life, expect for the time when a friend went through the bottle shop to load up on alcohol, but that was literally centuries ago.
