Publishers Hotel

Adelaide


'Established 1914' says the signage. We reckon it was closer to 2014… Either way, the Publishers is an upmarket bar with jacketed bartenders, interesting wines and craft beers aplenty (love the Lobethal Bierhaus pilsner). Live music Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; in between, DJs spin everything from old soul to Dire Straits (the vibe is very over-35s).
