The Griffins Hotel

The Griffins Hotel is a pub in Hindmarsh, Adelaide, set among the greenery of Hindmarsh Square. Its website positions the venue as a dining and functions destination with a heritage character, contemporary food and three private function spaces. That combination makes it suitable for a casual meal as well as celebrations, workplace events and other group occasions that need a dedicated area.

Food is a major part of the offer. The kitchen describes its menu as a mix of traditional and contemporary pub food, with seasonal ingredients and flavours. The menu is also designed to accommodate a range of dietary needs, including dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan diners. For a standout order, the venue’s pub burger is the clear signature: The Griffins says it won the Australian Hotels Association SA Burger Challenge in both 2023 and 2025. A separate promotion on the site also advertises $8.50 pints all day, every day, although checking current details before visiting is sensible.

The venue’s spaces appear to be one of its strengths, with private function rooms alongside its dining areas and a leafy Hindmarsh Square setting. The site describes the hotel as having a rich heritage while presenting a contemporary dining experience, so it may appeal to diners looking for more than a standard pub meal without losing the familiar pub setting. Reservations are available online, and function enquiries can be made directly through the venue.

For a regular visit, The Griffins Hotel suits diners after seasonal pub food, groups planning a private event and anyone wanting to try an award-winning South Australian pub burger. It is open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday, with later trading listed from Thursday through Saturday, and is closed on Sundays. The venue has a 4.1 Google rating from 899 reviews, giving prospective visitors a broad public snapshot alongside the information provided by the hotel itself.
