About Queen's Head Hotel
The Queen's Head Hotel is a heritage pub on Kermode Street in North Adelaide. Its old exterior hides a modern, eclectic fit-out, and the hotel shapes each function around the group rather than a fixed format. There are five areas to choose from. The Gallery is an exclusive lounge with fixed couches, two TVs and its own bar, seating 35 or holding 75 standing. The Den is a private dining room for 12, bookable for lunch or dinner from Friday to Sunday. The Restaurant takes 60 guests seated or standing and can be hired outright for lunch or dinner from Tuesday to Sunday. Outside, the Courtyard has a private bar, a TV and the in-house audio, with room for 40 seated or 75 standing. Combine the Restaurant and Courtyard and you have indoor and outdoor space for 130. The Fig Garden is a landscaped open-air area with a separate bar, seating 55 or taking 100 for a cocktail party. Licensing means it closes at 8pm, so it suits afternoon celebrations. Cocktail functions are catered with platters such as sliders, arancini, skewers, oysters and wood-fired pizzas, plus antipasto boards sized for 10 to over 100 guests. Dietary needs can be discussed with the team when you choose your food. Drinks run on a bar tab or on Bronze, Silver or Gold packages for three to five hours, starting at $70 per person. Music and the bar stop at 11:45pm from Tuesday to Saturday and at 9:45pm on Sundays.
