About Parkside Hotel

The Parkside Hotel is a corner pub on Glen Osmond Road in Parkside, first opened as the Fountain Inn. It trades every day with a bistro, a main bar and a big beer garden, and its events team runs functions across several separate areas. The beer garden is split into sections. Garden South is an undercover corner with a built-in fireplace for up to 30, Garden Middle sits beside the bar for up to 70, and the two combine for 100 standing. Inside, the dining room is the more formal option, seating 50 or holding 100 for cocktails, with its own bar and outdoor space. The Bob and Olive's dining room seats 30 or takes 50 standing and can join its adjoining garden for up to 90. For larger parties, the main bar and beer garden can be booked together for up to 150 guests, with the main bar and screens throughout. Exclusive use of that area is subject to conditions. Food ranges from platters of pies, arancini, satay chicken and dumplings to wood-fired pizza trays and sliders. Seated groups can choose a set menu at $60 per person for two courses or $72 for three, though it is not served in the beer garden. Drinks are handled with house or premium packages, a tab on consumption, subsidised drinks or a cash bar. Send an enquiry to the events team to check dates and spaces.
