The Kentish Hotel

Tucked away on a quiet North Adelaide back street—a gorgeous historic icon doing proper SA pub culture right. The Kentish Hotel has been pouring quality drops and serving up massive, soul-satisfying plates for decades. Old-school loyalists who remember the publicans of the 90s still rub shoulders with a fresh crowd packing the stunning, unexpected main dining room. It’s always pumping for drinks, but the kitchen is the absolute draw. Think hearty, elevated classics—a killer chicken parmi, towering steak sandwiches, tender lamb racks, and a colossal Thai coconut chicken salad that hits every craving. Throw in some crispy sweet potato chippies and a lovely house wine out in the leafy garden. Generous portions. Stellar, warm hospitality. Whether you're dropping in for a lively weekend session or a laid-back Monday family dinner, SA crowds know this Stanley Street staple always delivers.
