Cremorne Hotel

In the heart of leafy Unley, the Cremorne Hotel is a multi-space pub built around eating, drinking and settling into the kind of setting that suits different kinds of visits. It is open seven days, with a main dining room, an island bar, a beer garden and a dedicated sports bar. The beer garden has a retractable roof, while the bar offers café-style seating, booths and raised bench tables, giving you options ranging from a quieter catch-up to a livelier group meal.

Food is a major part of the venue’s identity. The hotel says it has been recognised as Adelaide’s number-one destination for casual dining, and its 2025 Australian Hotels Association award included Best Bistro Casual Dining for the inner metropolitan area. The restaurant menu focuses on modern Australian cooking and seasonal local produce, with dishes such as confit pork belly, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, crispy skin salmon and Thai beef noodle salad. Pub classics cover free-range chicken schnitzel, burgers, Australian cod and salt-and-pepper squid, while the sports bar has its own menu of approachable options including schnitzels, fried chicken, burgers, squid rings and club sandwiches.

Drinks are covered across a broad range of spaces and styles. The main bar has 18 taps, with some beers changing regularly, alongside hand-crafted cocktails, sommelier-selected wines and a substantial spirits selection. Upstairs, Bar 1854 operates on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights as a more intimate setting for premium drinks, cigars and small plates. The hotel also has a bottleshop with an expanded selection, making the venue useful for a quick drink, a longer dinner or picking something up to take home.

The Cremorne works for more than one type of occasion. Couples can choose the restaurant or a quieter corner of the bar, families have a kids’ menu and dedicated dining areas provide room for groups. The sports bar and beer garden are suited to casual lunches, drinks and watching the game, while the venue’s upstairs and downstairs spaces can be arranged for corporate or social functions, either as packaged events or custom setups. Its expanded, well-lit car park is another practical advantage for visitors arriving by car.
