Why it's worth checking out
The Lighthouse Wharf Hotel sits on Commercial Road at Port Adelaide, on the waterfront in the historic, revitalised port area of South Australia's capital. A much-loved pub in a great waterside setting, it combines a classic, relaxed pub atmosphere with quality food, drinks and lovely views over the water and the historic port surrounds.
The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a lovely waterfront location in historic Port Adelaide, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or settling in by the water. The heritage port setting and waterside views give it real character, and the Lighthouse Wharf has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,500 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal or a drink with lovely water views in a characterful pub, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the atmosphere at Port Adelaide.
