Earl of Leicester Hotel

The Earl of Leicester sits on Leicester Street at Parkside, near Unley just south of the Adelaide CBD. A much-loved historic pub set in a gracious old building, it's a genuine local institution — combining a characterful, heritage pub atmosphere with quality food (it's well known for its generous, hearty fare and famous schnitzels), good drinks and lovely garden surrounds.

The appeal is that combination of genuine heritage charm, generous, satisfying pub food and a lovely beer garden in a convenient Parkside location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or a lazy afternoon. The gracious old building, hearty fare and garden setting have made it a real favourite, and the Earl has clearly kept its big, loyal following happy over the years.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,800 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — and booking is wise for a meal — while looking forward to a hearty feed, a drink and the heritage charm at the Earl of Leicester near Unley.
