The Adelaide

I added an extra star because the nights events were pretty awesome and I think made me ok with coming back again if there was a part 2 in the future.
I wish this place had it’s own website for prices and things. Apparently this used to be a regular pub, but now the owners only hire it as a private venue spot. The place looks pretty cool. Wood everything and very big, tall ceilings and lots of places to claim your own for the night. The bar is in the center and there’s a couchy lounge area on one side, stage and dance floor on the other and beyond the dance floor a sunken quieter chatting spot. The back door in that area was locked but maybe during summer, daytime private events they would open up the back as well?
I think this scheme only just started because they haven’t got the details down. The girls bathroom was partially broken and not fully stocked for the night, the food was possibly bought by the private party themselves and were hastily/​clumsily placed around the rooms without napkins or rubbish bins. And last but not least the bartenders were overwhelmed and disorganized and made it a hard night to stay tipsy.
Disclaimer: I’m a stickler for details and I used to help cater/​decorate private parties for a living.
If they shape up a bit this would be a great place even though it’s a little out of the way. If you’re there for a private event you’re probably going to stay there the whole night anyway. :)
Random Pro: There’s a bus stop right next to it! Easy public access actually.

Chill little venue I went to for a private event, on the very quiet and residential Adelaide Road. Had a good time as there was a live band performing and it was a catered event so there were nibbles here and there. There’s a little stage area for the performance and a place to dance in front of it. Bar service was okay, a bottle of corona was just over £3.

Nothing wrong with this pub and they do good low-​key salsa nights upstairs on a Wednesday that are well taught. So why is this bar always quiet?
The beer is good with premium lagers and draught ale. The food is Thai and very tasty. Every night of the week they do something different like quizzes or comedy clubs.
They have a stunning beer garden and I suspect I am just going on the wrong days and missing the party.
They stay open late on weekends and I’m told the DJ’s are pretty good. Mix this with the friendly staff and you could have yourself a fun night.
