Ramsgate Hotel

Ramsgate Hotel is a long-standing Henley Beach pub with a history stretching back to 1897. Overlooking Henley Square, it brings together several distinct spaces, making it suitable for everything from an easy local meal to a special celebration, a drink with friends or a night watching sport.

The Hall is the hotel’s large, relaxed dining room, designed for groups and family gatherings. Its food offering focuses on familiar pub classics, fresh seafood and a few less expected choices that have proved popular with locals. Meals can be paired with beer on tap or South Australian wine, while the roomy layout makes it a practical choice for larger catch-ups and occasions such as family lunches and birthday celebrations.

For something more formal, Opie’s offers an elevated dining setting named after J.R. Opie, the hotel’s original publican. The kitchen uses locally sourced South Australian ingredients across dishes including meat, salads, seafood and updated takes on classic fare. It is positioned as a place for special occasions, but also suits anyone looking for a more considered dinner in a quieter dining environment.

Main Street is the liveliest of the bar spaces, with live sport shown on screen and a strong following when the Crows or Power are playing. There are up to 24 beers on tap, alongside cocktails, spirits and wine. The Courtyard offers a more open, sunny setting for drinks and catch-ups, with another large screen for major sporting events. Upstairs, Nightcap Social provides 18 guest rooms, including rooms with private ensuites and rooms with shared bathroom facilities. With its mix of dining, bars, sport, outdoor seating and accommodation, Ramsgate suits families, groups, local regulars and visitors staying near the coast.
