Mick O’Shea’s has had a serious glow-up, and it’s officially stepped into its “ultimate family hangout” era. The refreshed beer garden, brand-new outdoor bar and expanded pavilion have given the place a breezy, holiday-afternoon vibe while still keeping all the cosy charm of a classic Irish pub. Inside, you’ll still find the warm hospitality and hearty pub meals you know and love, but outside is where the magic happens. Think loads of space for...

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...

It is probably also a fact that a lot of you reading this likely have a child(ren) who are those ‘only eat nuggets and chips’ type of operators when you take them out for dinner. No judgement, I have 2 of those in my clan so know all the feels about trying to get them to try something different. But what if rather than try something different, you take what they already love and make it absolutely bloody...

Shifty are serving up some of the tastiest brews and beer nosh getting around. Enter family lunch at...

A South Australian icon which works tirelessly to provide a great place for the community to catch up and have a drink and a...

I cannot believe we haven’t been to Serafino for lunch before, but now we have been once we will definitely be back! Serafino is a wonderful place for a celebratory lunch – the day we visited there were a couple of big birthdays and I can see why it’s the restaurant of choice for such occasions. They have married fine-dining, with brilliant wines, and the kind of grounds that every child dreams of. Oh and did I mention they...
