I look at the reviews and wonder did I go on a bad night??? We had a group of people who went for…read morethe "all you can eat' night, what a load of rubbish! We were brought one or two pizzas at a time, the kids were starving, then a plate of pasta that would have been a plate for one person, the food was pretty average, nothing to rave about. The time it took out, was way too long! We ended up there for two hours, just because there wasnt enough to eat, so we left and went to another restaurant to have a wonderful meal - all 10 of us!

After anticipating the opening of this restaurant we were not let down. For a suburban pizzeria,…read morethe vibe and design was a head above other local pizzerias and the atmosphere was pumping, yet it didn't feel crowded or rushed. We were served by a great waitress who was on top of things and new what she was talking about, although the other waitress who seated us seemed rather vague. The food was above the standard of other local pizzerias, yet I felt that they were a bit too heavy on the cheese. Everything was reasonably priced, and being right around the corner, it's convenience has meant that we have been able to walk over for desert on occasion or order a pizza and collect it without too much hassle. It's a joy having such an inviting, friendly restaurant so close to home. It is certainly not the best pizza you can get in Adelaide, but it has raised the bar on what the standard is around Magill, and it's convenience makes it special.

Not impressed at all with the chiefs attitude, Bar staff very nice, but the chief just won't budge,…read moreI wanted a nice steak with a salad, but no if I wanted a steak I had to have it with mash potato and veggies. Well Mr chief I'm on a strict diet and no carbs as per instructions from my doctor, so if I wanted a salad I had to have a Schnitzel or something else. Not what I wanted, if it wasn't for the fact it was getting close to 7 pm and didn't really want to go looking elsewhere I would have left, and to add insult to injury no salad dressing. In fairness the Schnitzel was very nice.

I've only ever come here for the karaoke, and after my last visit I don't think I'll be rushing back soon. Don't get me wrong I love karaoke but it felt like fright night for the freaks and geeks. I'm surprised Quintin didn't rock in. Nothing to bring you here but you may stop in if you're thirsty enough. Drinks aren't deal and meals are cheap and passable. Have fun!

This is another one of those rather cool pubs that I have visited more than once, namely because it…read morewas conveniently located on the way home. I guess the main thing I liked about it was the beer garden, and there were a few times when I would sit out the back with a couple of friends drinking a couple of beers. It does have some charm about it, and while in parts it does feel a little tacky, the pub itself isn't too bad. I guess it does have a lot to do with the memories that I have of the place.

This is probably my most local pub, but I surely don't frequent it…read more There is a large open dining area, beer garden, pokies, dancefloor, bar and bottle shop. The pub is quite old looking, on a corner, but it has been refurbished inside and out the back. The carpark is huge which is good. I do love a good salad bar and this one lives up to my expectations, also they have cheap snitty's Tuesday night's. Also, there is a senior's section on their website which states senior's get the royal treatment 7 days a week, which gives you an idea of the crowd. I stopped in here once, half drunk on the wa to town with some girls, and we stood out amongst the oldies tearing up the d-floor. The drinks aren't that cheap either, especially what we drink. I'm sure port and sherry were the specials for the night. But the beer garden is ok, simple, neat and new. They also hold trivia nights on Tuesdays and karaoke on Thursday and Friday for a laugh.

I used to come here reasonably regularly, namely because it was located about halfway between the…read morecity and where I was living at the time. A friend of mine, who would drive me home from church, would stop off here with me so that we could have a beer. I guess I really liked the atmosphere, and also the lovely beer garden that they had out the back. Sure, it is more a suburban pub, but they also had a nice range of beers as well. Yeah, this pub is pretty cool.

I ate here on a Thursday night which happens to be their schnitzel specials night! For $9.95 we got…read morea good sized meal with access to the self serve salad and vegetable bar. The choice of salads and vegetables was ok and typical pub style meal. The dining room was very busy but we got seats fine. There is also a front bar with dining area and an outdoor all weather area. Parking was hard and very busy as football practice was on at the oval next to the hotel and it was busy inside.

This place really wasn't too bad, but I have to admit that I have been to better. Look, in a way I…read morehave been to this place a few times, but usually only to visit the bottle shop, so one afternoon I decided that it might be a good idea to rectify that situation. Well, in a way it is basically just another one of those suburban pubs with a rather suburban atmosphere. Sure, it really isn't one of the best, but it still does have some charm about the place.

Everyone has a local, and this was mine for the start of my drinking life. The Payneham Tavern has…read morechanged a lot from those innocent days of being ID'd and trying to find Holy Grail on the Juke Box. A new, fancy building (bit old now) including a Sports Bar, Restaurant area and expansive 'pay to see flashing lights' zone (pokies) has seen the Payneham Tavern become one of the more sizeable pubs in the area, and currently seems to attract the elderly crowd keen for a flutter. The menu has changed a few times with a stint as a Steak House being the most notable. Currently they have a pretty standard pub menu and it can be ok, but it can also fall very short of the mark. I have had probably the worst Nachos in the world there (how the hell can you arse up Nachos?) and some very good Snittys and Steak within the same fortnight! Go figure! The sports bar out the back is my favourite area, with a table tennis table, pool table, lounges and a couple of plasmas which make it a great spot to watch the Footer (A bit of a UK moment there).

Reasonable costing pub food. Have been here twice recently and even though not very busy on both…read moreoccasions it seemed quite a while for the food to come out of the kitchen. The first time I was there we ordered food and drinks at the service area and told them our table number. What they didn't say is that we had to collect our own drinks from the wine service area, so we're sitting at our table for some time without realising our drinks were sitting on the bar. They serve Bleasdale sparkling red by the glass so that's a winner itself. We sat in the alcove surrounded by windows which is a pretty spot, and away from the playground entrance. I'd imagine it would be very noisy when full but for a weekday lunch very pleasant.

Everybody seems to love this place - but I feel like I'm missing something every time I go there…read more The food is average and the dining room is HUGE and I feel atmosphere-less. The ceiling is ten billion meters high and it makes it impossible to bring any life to the place. I have been there when it is quite busy, but I've also been there when we've been the second two people there, and they still sat us on the table that the other couple were sitting on when they were ordering. Awkward. The upstairs function room is very popular for birthdays and engagements, with it's own bar and all the facilities needed for photos and speeches. They host poker tournaments and karaoke, but I haven't been to see this in action. The pokies bar is always the busiest and you will see people having a smoke outside of this room at all hours of the night. When I can't think of a pub to go to, I usually end up here, but I'm pretty much always disappointed.

Being a pub Coin-e-sure I am sometimes a little hard on some hotels. To be honest, The Maylands…read moreprobably deserves 4 out of 5 stars, but I just don't 'feel' the place. The exterior is one of the nicer looking pubs going around and the interior is of the same calibre. On the food end of the scale, the fare on offer is not to shabby at all, though it is on the upper end of the expected price. I find it very hard to put my finger on why I don't adore this pub like so many others, so I choose to quote The Castle "It's the Vibe". The times I have been there I just haven't been able to scooch into my happy place. But I will give all of you fellow Yelpers out there this promise....I will try again and again!

I'm not sure if they decided to call this pub the Scenic Hotel because of the great views, but for…read moresome reason I really wouldn't be all that surprised. Then again, it is near the top of the Adelaide Hills, so you do get a rather reasonable view of the city, though not as great as you would from the other, more famous, lookouts. Still, this pub was pretty cool, especially since it had some nice beers on tap as well, and friendly staff. Yeah, it was cool.

But after a few minutes of good service and chilled out vibe I was able to relax. The place to be on The Parade is thanks to that A-Team the Trims family, who are also responsible for the equally buzzy Sparrow and The Manse. All the carry on and hoo haa about this place I reckon is well deserved, coming here is a unique experience and there's nowhere else around quite like it. You get a little drinks card to hang onto so you can order ten dollar glasses of wine and pricey food without having to actually think about how much you're paying. Last time I came here we had fries, which come out on a wooden block with an accompanying bowl of 'aerated ketchup,' which was absolutely delicious. They appear to be fans of aeration, there are also donuts with aerated chocolate sauce, and scallops with aerated almond cream. We all know how Adelaide folk like to get all worked up over new things, and I reckon this place is worth the hype.

Yay for cute new places to get your cocktail on!…read more There are a few factors that I feel are colouring my review that I should be upfront about: 1. The first time I went here it was a for a launch party. "Launch party" is code word for "free booze". Not paying for booze will give you a good opinion about ANY venue. 2. It's literally 1 minute walk from my house. 3. When I mentioned them on Twitter they immediately started following and chatting. Social media win. The interior is slick, white and modern, stylish but with personality. It's a little too crisp and considered for ragamuffins like myself but overall it's inviting. (They also use a great font for their signage, which design geeks such as myself will appreciate.) The venue itself is surprisingly comprehensive - peeking through the front door you would be tempted to think it's a slip of a place, but you'd be wrong. While it's narrow it extends back from the front area to dining tables, to a huge eating area, to a beer garden. And that's not mentioning the courtyard out the front. They also do deals throughout the week - my fave has to be the $5 hotdogs. I prefer the chilled out vibe of weeknights; on Fridays and Saturdays when the DJs are spinning tunes it gets really packed out and it's pretty expensive. People? Meh. Just give me a $5 hotdog and my bestie any day.
