Duke of Brunswick Hotel - Adelaide

This is a great drinking pub with good pub food and a good variety of drinks. Very casual and relaxing. Great atmosphere with excellent friendly staff.

Stayed 200meters down the road in a air bnb house. On our first visit we poped in for an ice cream for the kids and a cold beer for us. Kichen was closed for renovations so no ice cream. Bar maid / owner bought Calipo ice creams and on second visit two days later gave the kids the ice cream and some sausage n bread for snack also. Great family pub, Dad was on bbq, daughter Kate behind bar and mum giving out ice creams...like a great country pub but in the city of Adelaide.

We came here for Science in the Pub (all about sleep) with about 100 others and stayed on after for dinner. The venue has a nice atmosphere at the front bar (specials on Fri Happy Hour) and the dining room. Prices very reasonable eg $14 or so for a Schnitzel, which hubby said was tasty. with special coleslaw and crunchy chips. Two vego choices - Mushroom Penne and my Haloumi Salad *($14.50) which was all Haloumi and only a few pieces of lettuce and 1 chopped up tomato. A good city venue if you just want something to fill you up and not a gourmet dining experience with gourmet prices.

Very friendly staff, service was excellent. Did lack a bit of atmosphere and decor was mixed between 50's - 70's. Needs some tlc. Meals well priced for what you got but presentation lacked a lot especially in the salad area. Has great potential as beautiful old building but definitely needs to sort out the style. Great value for money but wouldn't go there for a special occasion. Good for a cheap casual dinner.

My friend suggested we avoid the heat in the serene and quiet beer garden of the Brunswick, and await some friends. The front bar looked promising, old school wood and barley hop smell and the boutique beer was good and had a happy hour price tag. Out into the beer garden and wham, tele-ported to a parched and barren landscape with wilted plants and a radioactive shimmer. The tapas platter arrived and looked similarly nuked. Some Frittata, white anchovies and mushrooms for $20. My kingdom for a fresh piece of cucumber or tomato to cure my salted tongue. Maybe it was an off day- the tapas platter depends on the kitchens mood and nobody seemed to be able to predict what would be on it. I took the chance, But I wouldn't gamble again. We left about 7 and the happy hour had turned sad. A ghost town. Why?
