Why it's worth checking out
Pier Bar sits on Holdfast Promenade in Glenelg, one of Adelaide's most popular seaside suburbs at the end of the historic tram line. With a large 106 reviews behind its 3.5 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is a drink with a lovely beachside outlook — a bar right on the Glenelg foreshore, a lovely spot for a drink, some atmosphere and sea views by the jetty, handy to the lively Jetty Road precinct. Its location makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Drinks, events and trading hours change over time, and it can get busy in peak periods. To make the most of your visit, it's worth checking the current details directly before you go.
