About The Broadway Hotel
The Broadway Hotel is a long-standing local pub on Broadway in Glenelg South, set in a heritage building with a front bar, bistro, street-front patio and a large beer garden out the back. It has a casual, family-friendly feel and a big following among locals. Functions are held in shared areas rather than private rooms. Groups can book the old-style front bar for 20 to 80 guests, the alfresco patio at the front for 20 to 50, or a section of the beer garden, either the pergola or the Coopers wall, for 25 to 60. In bad weather, patio and beer garden groups may be moved into the front bar. The beer garden is open to other drinkers, music keeps playing throughout, and guests there leave by midnight, while the front bar trades until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. Every function comes with a platter order, and beer garden bookings carry a $300 minimum spend on platters. Platters run from $90 for dips or bruschetta to $140 for sliders, with pizzas, pastries, Asian bites, skewers, arancini and a vegan option, and each feeds roughly 10 to 12 guests as cocktail food. There are no set drinks packages and no BYO. The hotel can run a bar tab to a limit you choose, or subsidised drinks where guests pay part of each round, drawing on 13 beers on tap and a wall of spirits. Birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and work Christmas parties are all welcome, though the hotel doesn't host 18ths and asks for a $500 behaviour deposit for 21sts. There is no room hire, and a $150 deposit holds any booking.
