About Hope Inn Hotel
The Hope Inn Hotel has been pouring beers on Port Road in Hindmarsh since it was first licensed in 1847. There is a traditional front bar, a bistro serving pub classics and a beer garden that catches the sun, with parking on site and public transport nearby. The beer garden takes the most guests of any function area. It has a dedicated bar, high bar tables alongside standard ones, shade umbrellas and gas heaters. Taken whole it fits 80 seated or 150 for a cocktail party, or you can book just the covered upper level (30 seated, 40 standing) or the open-air middle level (40 seated, 50 standing). Inside, the dining room seats 70 or holds 120 standing, with a fireplace, its own bar and large sliding doors through to the garden. The Pear Room is a smaller indoor space for 20 seated or 30 standing. All function areas are semi-private, sharing music with the rest of the pub. Sit-down groups can choose a set menu of two or three courses, with dishes such as arancini, salt and pepper squid, chicken schnitzel, rump steak and sticky date pudding. Cocktail events order platters, from pies and sausage rolls to lamb koftas, chicken skewers and cheese. Drinks can run on a standard or premium package, a bar tab with a limit you set, or a cash bar. The team can also arrange extras such as a photo booth, backdrops, neon party signs, flowers, giant games, trivia or a DJ.
