The Bridgewater Inn

Adelaide day-trippers will point you straight to this sprawling hills retreat—and for good reason. The Bridgewater Inn is a masterclass in proper Aussie pub culture. Think gorgeous rustic interiors opening up to an epic al fresco setup right on the edge of a flowing gully. Ducks wandering past. Acoustic guitar setting the mood. It’s an absolute knockout of a location. The kitchen pumps out top-tier, generously plated pub grub at lightning speed, even during the holiday rush. You’re coming for the massive Tuesday seafood combos and battered chips, but staying for a flawless schnitty and an affogato by the water. Fast, hyper-accessible, and ridiculously scenic—this is your new go-to weekend feed.
