Kid Friendly Pubs and Clubs in Adelaide | Adelaide for Kids – The Ultimate Family Guide

Bridgewater Inn

There’s something pretty magical about the Adelaide Hills in Spring: the air smells sweet, the creek is still flowing, and the mild days become balmy delivering the perfect excuse to book a table creekside. Add a delicious menu (including some all day offerings), and you’ve got a day out that ticks all the family-friendly boxes. Welcome back to The Bridgewater Inn. This local favourite has had a bit of a glow-up last year, and it’s looking...

The Rezz, Newton

If you haven’t been to The Rezz at Newton since its 2021 rebuild, prepare for a bit of a surprise. This once-traditional suburban pub has had a serious glow-up and is now a go-to for north-eastern Adelaide families thanks to its huge Café, multiple kids’ play areas and easy dining, including all day dining AND breakfast on weekends. The venue is split into four very different zones. The highlight for us is outdoors with functional outdoor...

Rising Sun Hotel – Port Wakefield

Here’s a pub you never knew you needed to find, but trust us, you really do! Families, ditch the crappy servo food and skip the greasy bakery line on your next road trip that takes you through Port Wakefield, because this hotel feed blows our socks off every single time. We actually wish it was our local. Meander less than 1km off the main highway when travelling to or from Yorkes, or the North of South Australia, for this unexpectedly...

Payneham Tavern

Payneham Tavern is a fantastic, newly renovated family friendly restaurant that includes one of the best playrooms we have seen in a long time! A short distance from the city, the $4m rebuild has brought new life to this Payneham Road spot, which is ready and raring to go for a great Christmas season and beyond. We do love a hospo venue with a playground that caters for families, but we will be the first to admit sometimes the sounds...

The Aussie Inn, Hackham

There’s nothing better than being able to take the family out for an afternoon at your local, and you’d be lucky if your local was The Aussie Inn. In fact, my other half started looking up house prices in the area for this very reason. Located on Main South Road at Hackham, as far as child friendly pubs in Adelaide go, The Aussie ticks a lot of boxes. Offering the laid-back atmosphere you need when venturing out with the little...

Alma Tavern

Famous in the Eastern suburbs, the Alma Tavern has been a staple for years, but did you know this beautifully renovated modern space offers plenty for families including KIDS EAT FREE on Monday! We called in for a family pub meal and checked out their extensive bright and on trend renovation and our bellies (and my wallet) were impressed. Offering a number of well decorated seating areas surrounding the bar, plus a separate restaurant and...

Stanley Bridge Tavern

If you love a family meal out and don’t mind a little journey to get to the *very best* places, get Stanley Bridge Tavern on your must visit list. Located in Verdun in the Adelaide Hills just a short hop, skip and jump off of the freeway before Hahndorf, and this is good news if your kids are like mine and don’t travel the windy hills roads well. Little energetic people will be fine here. Book to eat out in the sheltered large beer...

The Dalrymple Hotel – Stansbury Yorke Peninsula

The Dal. You guys are going to LOVE this country pub. It’s the best we can find on the entire Yorke Peninsula and it’s surely gotta be right up there for best on ground in regional SA. Yep, I’m talking a big game, and they bring it, 7 days a week, water front views and incredibly welcoming for families with some great initiatives for kids.
