What to expect

Discover a variety of pubs as you follow the West End pub trail. From the small and quirky Grace Emily Hotel to the modern Lady Burra Brewhouse who brew their own beer onsite, you're sure to find a pub to your taste.

Lady Burra Brewhouse is the only microbrewery, bar and kitchen located in Adelaide's CBD.

Brews here are handcrafted on-site using the finest ingredients. They are unfiltered, with no additives or preservatives - the way beer should be! The kitchen serves up an amazing Portuguese-inspired menu all thanks to our head chef, Rosa Dantes and our bar packs a range of local South Australian wines and spirits to match. Open for lunch and dinner, the kitchen features Portuguese inspired tapas, wood oven pizzas and great beer food. If the local football teams are playing at home, be sure to book.

A wide range of live bands play most nights, or live DJs play their favourite tracks.

The Exeter boasts an excellent wine list, locally made ciders, choice bottled craft beers, and the South Australian owned Coopers range on tap. Grab a cold tap beer for cheap at Happy Hour on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights.

This newly renovated pub on the strip is a popular one for the neighbouring uni students and city locals alike.

Thursday’s bring cheap drinks and a house party vibe. Come the weekend you’ll find local bands taking over the classic west end beer garden.Great SA roasted coffee can be found at the Deli from 8am. Hearty pub grub is served from the bar for lunch and dinner.

The Grace Emily Hotel is one of the West End’s most historic pubs. Drop in for a pint, stay for the live music.

A bar with true character, filled with oddities and curiosities lining the walls - the band room offers a continual roster of assorted live acts, including the long-running Billy Bob’s BBQ Jam open mic on Monday night. Outside of the Jam you won’t find food, but you’ll find good beer prices, a pool table and a charming atmosphere.

A stone’s throw from the northern entrance of the Central Markets.

This rather large hotel extends a full dining room, front bar, band room and even an out-house. With live music performed frequently. You can see why it’s struck a chord with the locals. A close port of call for a pint, some pinball and comfort filled evening.
