About Royal Oak
The Royal Oak is a long-running corner hotel on O'Connell Street in North Adelaide. Behind the old facade is a quirky, retro-styled pub with booths, a colourful bar, an open fire in the restaurant and a stage that hosts local musicians through the week. Two areas are offered for functions. The Beer Garden has a retractable roof, strip and gas heating, mist fans, AV equipment and its own full bar, and holds up to 75 people. The main bar can also be booked for a private event, again with room for up to 75. Either space suits a relaxed stand-up party where guests can grab a booth or gather around the bar. The kitchen turns out classic pub dishes, sharing plates and vegan options, and the team puts together food and drinks options to suit each group. The bar pours a regularly changing wine list, local and imported beers and cocktails. A $300 deposit secures the date and comes off the minimum spend. Menu and drinks choices and final numbers are confirmed 14 days ahead, the function area closes at 1am, and guests under 18 must leave by midnight.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests can the Royal Oak hold for a function?
Both the Beer Garden and the main bar take up to 75 people. Either works well for a relaxed, mostly standing celebration.
Is the Beer Garden covered?
Yes. It has a retractable roof with strip and gas heating plus mist fans, so it works in cold or hot weather, and it has its own full bar and AV equipment.
What is the deposit?
A $300 deposit locks in the booking and is deducted from your minimum spend. Tentative holds are kept for two weeks, and deposits are forfeited if you cancel within 14 days of the date.
When do numbers and menus need to be confirmed?
Food and drink selections and final guest numbers are due 14 days before the function. The confirmed numbers become the catering numbers.
Can under-18s attend a function?
Yes, with a parent or guardian present at all times. They must leave by midnight and cannot be given any alcohol, and the function area itself closes at 1am.
