Parkside Hotel

Parkside Hotel is a renovated local pub in Unley, Adelaide, with roots stretching back to 1858, when the building operated as the Fountain Inn. Its current name followed renovations in 2018, but the venue remains connected to the area’s history. The original inn was built over a permanent spring and became part of early Parkside life, hosting gatherings, recreation and even coronial inquests. Today, it sits minutes from Adelaide’s CBD and near the Adelaide Hills wine and produce region.

The food is modern Australian pub fare with a strong South Australian focus. The kitchen highlights local and sustainable produce across refined pub plates, classics, share dishes, wood-fired pizzas and dishes cooked over red gum. The drinks list is built around local wines, tap beers and classic cocktails. For groups, the Feed Me menu offers a selection of modern dishes centred on local produce for $60 per person, with a minimum of two people. There is also delivery through Uber Eats, including pizzas, snacks and burgers.

The venue combines a restaurant, bar and beer garden, with bright, contemporary styling and a relaxed pub setting. Its outdoor spaces range from undercover areas with a fireplace to larger garden sections suited to cocktail-style gatherings. The main bar and beer garden can host up to 150 guests, while the dining room accommodates up to 50 seated or 100 standing. Function spaces are available for smaller celebrations, family events, work parties and larger private occasions, with options including private bars, garden access and tailored food and drink packages.

Families are well catered for, with a kids’ play area, kids’ club events and a Monday kids-eat-free offer for children aged 12 and under when a full-price main meal is purchased. Regular listed events include live music, happy hour, steak night, Sunday roast, a quiz and wood oven nights, although details may vary. A gaming room with 22 machines is also available. With its mix of casual dining, outdoor space, family facilities and flexible function rooms, Parkside Hotel suits a straightforward pub meal, a group catch-up, a family outing or a larger celebration.
