The hotels contributions to the live music scene of Adelaide has been one over a long-steeped history. 45 years ago a conscious decision was made by the hotelier at the time to abolish his dining room to make way for a band room. The hotel hasn’t served a meal for almost as long, with the pub trading out a food offering for a dedication to live music every week from Wednesday through Sunday. Upstairs from the hotel you'll find: Midnight Spaghetti. Enter from Grenfell Street and follow the brightly lit neon sign inviting you “Upstairs for Angel hairs”… From indoor booth or bar seating, to alfresco aperitivos on the balcony, both settings will have you scanning the walls for forgotten framed celebrities, irreverent paraphernalia & more spaghetti thats failed the stick test than you’ve ever The space welcomes guests into a care free eatery which draws style from the 1981 Italian sex comedy it was aptly named for (Spaghetti a Mezzanotte). Put simply, a really good-looking pasta bar with no, no nonsense.
