Grace Emily Hotel

The Grace Emily Hotel sits on Waymouth Street in the Adelaide CBD. A beloved live-music pub, it's become a genuine institution of the city's music scene — combining a characterful, no-frills pub atmosphere with a great line-up of live music and a warm, welcoming feel, the kind of beloved spot that music fans and pub-goers hold dear.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, good drinks and quality live music in a characterful city-centre setting, ideal for catching a gig, a relaxed drink or a fun night out. The genuine character and strong commitment to live music have made it a treasured fixture of Adelaide's music and pub scene, drawing a loyal crowd.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The live-music program, drinks, opening hours and any events vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up before you go — particularly for a specific gig or night — though for a drink and a taste of the atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Grace Emily in the city.
