Stylish decor and old-world charm combine to create a drinking experience like no other at the Caledonian Hotel.

Editorial


Overlooking the parklands on Barton Terrace, the Caledonian Hotel offers an upmarket pub experience. Whether you opt for the front bar, the cafe, the award-winning Barton's restaurant or the beer garden, the venue offers crisp, neat and modern decor.

While the external facade is little bit peculiar (it brings to mind something from the gold rush days), step inside and you'll find dark-stained timber floors, grey feature walls and stainless steel highlights. While the modern decor is in stark contrast to the parklands outside, the juxtaposition works well. Meanwhile, the indoor/outdoor beer garden offers a closing roof, open fireplace and ample seating. If you're looking for something a little more upmarket the five-star restaurant has a relaxed ambiance and a contemporary Australian menu. It was judged Best Restaurant - Superior (SA) at the Australian Hotel Awards in 2005.

The drink selection at the Caledonian Hotel covers all bases and has a great selection of locally produced wines. When you take into account their international varietals the cellar is pushing over 500 different drops. If you prefer your drinks amber coloured there's a good mix of beer available on tap and a modest cocktail selection. Whether your looking for a casual drink in the beer garden or a more formal dinner, this Adelaide hotel provides great service and atmosphere.
