Walkers Arms Hotel

Adelaide


This unusual pub (something akin to a grey concrete spaceship) is really hitting the mark with its compact, stylish pub rooms – great value for a really slick product. North East Rd is busy, and the beer garden gets rowdy (live bands on weekends) – but plan ahead (earplugs?) and you'll be fine. About 4km north of the city – an easy commute.
