It’s the city of churches, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t also be the city of beautiful sports bars, Adelaide is spoilt for choice if you want to have a beer and watch the footy.
Whether you’re a local looking for a place to support your team and make some new friends, or you’re trying to catch a game while you’re on holidays, we’ve rounded up the best sports bars Adelaide has, so you can focus less on finding one and more on enjoying yourself while you’re there.
The best sports bars Adelaide has to offer, as tested by us
The Rosey
160 Hindley St, Adelaide
Formerly known as The Rosemont but recently given a facelift and a rebrand, The Rosey is the go-to sports bar in the CBD — helped by the fact that it’s a stone’s throw away from Adelaide Oval.
The Ramsgate Hotel
328 Seaview Rd, Henley Beach
Sports bar vibes by the seaside? Look no further than The Ramsgate Hotel, our personal top pick for a pub of any kind in the city, and by far, the best sports bar Adelaide has to offer. An absolute gem located on Henley Beach, The Rammy streams all of your favourite sports, with cold beer flowing and a glorious sea breeze.
The Elephant British Pub
1 Cinema Pl, Adelaide
As the name suggests, The Elephant British Pub is distinctly British, which makes it a great place for watching the Premier League. But even if football doesn’t tickle your fancy, The Elephant is still well worth a visit, with tonnes of other sporting events being streamed every week, right in the heart of Adelaide.
The District at SkyCity
125 North Terrace, Adelaide
It wouldn’t be a list of the best sports bars Adelaide has to offer without including the casino, right? The District at SkyCity features a giant video wall for an immersive community experience, as well as VIP booths for when you want a more intimate vibe with your closest mates.
Not to mention, SkyCity Adelaide also has its own in-house Pirate Life brewery, so you can sip on a glass of freshly brewed ale while you’re watching the footy. It doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
The Arkaba
150 Glen Osmond Road, Fullarton
Sports Bar at The Arkaba is an award-winning Adelaide sports bar, and for good reason. With 18 screens, four sports lounges and a massive 3-metre LED screen in the outdoor beer garden, the Arkaba is the place to be for any sporting event.
Not to mention, the venue is decked out with sporting memorabilia from important moments throughout the state’s history. If you’re looking for the best sports bars Adelaide has to offer, the Arkaba is worth checking out.
