About Cathedral Hotel
The Cathedral Hotel is a pub on Kermode Street in North Adelaide, with views from its upper levels across to St Peter's Cathedral and Adelaide Oval. It has several function spaces spread over the ground floor, the first floor and the roof, so a group can choose a room that matches its numbers. The Torrens Room holds the most guests and is light and neutral, with its own bar, private amenities and a digital setup for AV. It holds 110 seated or 140 for cocktails and suits presentations as well as big seated dinners. The Heritage Room on the first floor is bright and modern, with direct access to the balcony running across the hotel's front, and takes 40 seated or 130 standing. The Balcony Bar suits cocktail parties of up to 60, with a fire in the rooftop beer garden close by. The rooftop is an open-air area that can be added to the Balcony Bar or the Torrens Room, in full or in half. On the ground floor, the Good Samaritan bar has four beer taps and works for small meetings or a 21st, and the marble Long Bar is handy for drinks before or after an event. Minimum spends start at $3,000 for the Balcony Bar or the Torrens Room, with a $300 hire fee, and the Heritage Room is a $4,000 minimum spend with a $400 fee. Catering runs from grazing tables and platters to a set menu, and drinks can go on a tab or a package.
