The Lady Daly Hotel

The Lady Daly Hotel is a long-running Hindmarsh pub with more than 162 years of history, positioned on Port Road just minutes from Adelaide’s CBD. It is close to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Coopers Stadium, the Gov and a tram stop, with surrounding street parking also noted by the venue. That makes it a practical stop before a show, around a game or for a casual meal in Adelaide’s inner west.

The food is classic pub fare with a broad choice of small and large plates. Familiar options include chicken, beef and plant-based schnitzels with chips and salad, bangers and mash, a steak sandwich, burgers and battered flathead. There are also more varied choices such as chicken katsu, wild mushroom risotto, salt and pepper squid and stout-braised beef cheek. The menu caters for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free requirements across selected dishes, with vegan and gluten-free extras available as well. For something to finish, the offering includes a double chocolate brownie, salted caramel slice and affogato.

Drinks are part of the pub’s appeal, with craft beer mentioned alongside a drinks list, coffee and a selection of teas. The venue describes its setting as comfortable and warming, with an open fire for cooler weather and a relaxed beer garden for an outdoor visit. Its combination of indoor and outdoor spaces suits an easy catch-up, a meal before an event or a low-key drink rather than a formal dining occasion.

The Lady Daly welcomes bookings and functions, with function platters and packages available by enquiry. It also has a small dog menu featuring treats and bowls, which gives visitors with four-legged companions an additional option. Dining is available across the week apart from Monday, with extended service on Friday and Saturday; event and sporting nights can involve one-hour table sittings, so booking ahead is sensible when something is on nearby. Overall, it is suited to groups, families and casual pub diners looking for a central-west location, while solo visitors can settle in with a drink or straightforward meal.
