What Thalia Harvey doesn't like about The Lion Hotel:
I love these old, restored pubs in Adelaide, minus the soul destroying pokies. This place was getting busy with the Friday after work crowd. Just grabbed a few drinks and some chips and they both hit the spot. Beautiful interior and friendly staff to boot. View all feedback. What Aileen Beatty likes about The Lion Hotel:
This place is pretty impressive. The setout and bars are really trendy and great fun. The outdoor beer garden is a good place for either a few drinks or a meal. We did both, the food was really nice here and if i am back in adelaide again i will be sure to pop back into the lion View all feedback.

I had the gnocchi and it was so delicious. I’ve never had gnocchi that was as velvety and melt in the mouth. Highly recommend.
