Why it's worth checking out
The British Hotel sits on Finniss Street in North Adelaide, a leafy, gracious area just north of the city. A much-loved historic pub, it's a genuine local favourite — combining a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere with quality food (it's well known for its rooftop barbecue), good drinks and a warm, welcoming feel, the kind of beloved neighbourhood hotel that's become a real fixture of the area.
The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food (the cook-your-own-style rooftop barbecue is a much-loved feature) and good drinks in a convenient North Adelaide location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or a fun afternoon. Its genuine character and distinctive rooftop barbecue have made it a real favourite, and the British has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, the barbecue, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal, a drink or a fun afternoon at the rooftop barbecue, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the British Hotel in North Adelaide.
