The staff were pretty rude, stood being ignored at the counter while they discussed who was going to change the keg. Went up to buy drinks and again was ignored, several staff walking past but not acknowledging us. Food was very average, the gravy was very thin like it has been watered down. With all the great places to eat in Adelaide I wouldn't come back here.

I organised a memorial lunch for 32 family members (6 under 12s) for my late mother in the Heritage Room, which is wonderfully atmospheric. All of the guests remarked on the choice and quality of the food and the attentive wait service. The bar service was also efficient and friendly. The event went off smoothly without a hitch. Unlike many other hotels, we were not charged for the room and not locked into a fixed menu or minimum spend, so value-for-money was excellent. I highly recommend this heritage pub and its hard-working staff who try hard to please (and actually deliver!) to anyone contemplating a special event such as ours.

I was headed back from Bakery on O'Connell and Brougham Park when I espied this hotel from across the way. I am not a local for indeed I am on holiday here from Geelong. It captivated my eye. My eye lead to imaginings of a raspberry or a sneaky 11am beer. As it turned out, only the corner section was open which is a cafe. Fine, that's fine indeed. Opportunity and chance can combine to be a benefit to you. As in, while waiting with no idea what to order, I saw sparkling waters and -and!- rye bread rolls. Jackpot. I had no belly room after filling up at Bakery on O'Connell BUT tomorrow I am needing premade and convenient food for a long, long bus ride. That rye roll with sweet potato and haloumi will be a thoroughly benficient option. The sparkling water was mere hydration with the light delight of orange and mango. Thank you for wrapping that roll into clong wrap to preserve it for the time!
Edit: update, 28.11.23. I had that rye roll and the first half was better and tastier than I had hoped... Haloumi, pumpkin, lettuce, roasted capsicum. The second half... pumpkin seeds. Not pepitas nor even roasted/dried, just seeds. I imagined that the pumpkin was not deseeded when roasted. Or were they deliberate? They were all clumped in one lump. I gag when food is texturally incongruous; thats not something you can control, obviously, but my point is that it is weird, weird as, to roast a pumpkin with the seeds in - then plonk it in a sanger. I picked them out and soldiered because, for all my misgivings it was still delicious. If the seeds are deliberate, my bad, I wouldn't have ordered had I known. But yeh the flavours and all other textures were on the money.

Decent pub food, probably reasonable priced given the serving sizes for most meals (the salmon was quite light on - about a 120g fillet with pickled onions, a smear of hummus and a scattering of coriander and parsley as the 'herb salad'. Also the pistachio crust was so light that I forgot it was there until right near the end - couldn't taste it) Burger was tasty and chips/wedges quite good (preferred the wedges).

So there I was, lonely, unhappy and frankly quite hungry when I stumbled into the doors of the Cathedral Hotel. A young gentleman with really cool black bangs served me and persuaded me to try their acclaimed beef burger. He also told me some killer jokes to make me smile. This nice chap treated me well (he also poured me a Coopers Pale Ale with perfect head!). "Wowza!" I thought to myself and knew I had found my new local venue. For the best food, service and all around vibez, look no further than the Cath.

I don't even know where to begin! Had a party a few years ago I went to and liked the venue so I booked my 30th there this year. I am beyond pleased with the staff, the venue and the food! We had a massive gathering of people and it wasn't too much for the staff! Multiple compliments about the food, and the staff just made everything so so easy. Kym was outstanding, and Holly was so helpful and kind! I just wish I could relive the night all over again. Thank you The Cathedral Hotel team for making my night as special as it was. You bloody champions!

Beutiful Food a d freindly service The Prawn is a delicious dish..

Nice venue, unremarkable food, good location - it has potential. We had dinner mid week and the steak schnitzel was thin and like leather. The surf and turf wasn't much better. The pub has a good location a views of the cathedral across the road but menu and kitchen needs and overhaul to warrant the price

I recently visited the Cathedral Hotel in North Adelaide and I must say, this place is a hidden gem! It's such a fantastic space and venue, yet it seems to be hugely underrated. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. Whether you're after a casual meal or a night out with friends, this place has got you covered. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a winter night in. Don't overlook this place, it's definitely worth checking out!

This is a great pub!! Took our 14 of staff here for dinner on Thursday Dec 15. The Hotel Staff were brilliant, the annex perfect for our group and the food was fantastic. And to top it all off - it was great value. Will definitely be back!!!

Great pub to eat at before the game. On a nice day, they have a great rooftop looking back at the oval and the city. The meals are classic pub meals that taste good and are not expensive.

Celebrated my daughters 21st in the upstairs venue and it was a gorgeous space with the best staff ever. Thank you Jack and Co. They were very accomodating and we could decorate as we liked. Good food and gluten-free options provided. It was the best night. Highly recommend to others!!!

Nice pub but again another chef that doesn't know how to cook a beef burger. Patty was almost raw in middle, without asking. Here's a hint chef, it's a burger not a bloody steak ! Staff were good and replaced with a normal cooked burger patty that was tasty although much smaller in size. Undercooked beef patties seems to be a trend at the moment and whomever started this rubbish needs a good slap. Go Wallabies.

Not one to normally leave reviews, but recently had my 21st in the rooftop bar/garden. Wanted to give special mention to Matthew - extremely friendly and so SO helpful with setting up/managing the night/working behind the bar, couldn't recommend him enough! Reece who worked the bar was great fun too! I received so many compliments on the food they provided as well! Thank you so much!!

Lunchtime specials are really good value!
Usual menu is varied and well worth the visit.
Within walking distance of Adelaide Oval and St Peter's Cathedral.

Food was really good when we finally got it. Was busy because of pending football game. Eventually we got our food to go after nearly an hour. But tasted delish.

Great venue and fantastic service. We had the Rooftop, Balcony Bar and Torrens Room
and was the perfect setting to celebrate a birthday. Staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone was looked after and accommodated all of our requests. Highly recommended!

Classic Australian pub meal regarding the style and decorations. In this particular one, I felt left alone and ignored by the staff. I'm not saying they were impolite neither rude, just a bit not interested ... I went there on a Monday around 7 pm, it was just me and another customer. The food was edible enough just to do the job, that's all, but I didn't like the gravy sauce, too artificial and dumped on top of the schnitzel covering all the rest, a bit messy. The pub does the job if it's only about killing the hunger and you're ravenous, but the quality/service is not that good. I hope it changes in the future, as the building where it's located is a traditional historic building, pretty cute.

Gorgeous rooftop section! Awesome for a cheeky Christmas function on a nice sunny day

Top part of the Cathedral is very nice roof top bar. Service is great by some of the people there, mainly males, but it's not a nice experience when you have 2 employees standing at the bar talking and looking over at you... Food is good, but my friend said the snp squid was over-cooked. Would I go back again? Probably not. View upstairs is lovely though and parking down the side streets is good.
