About The Exeter Hotel
The Exeter Hotel is a long-standing corner pub at 246 Rundle Street, in the East End of the Adelaide CBD. It keeps things simple, with no pokies, Coopers ales on tap, a solid wine list, local ciders and a fridge of craft beer. Private functions are held on the balcony, a small, cosy space that looks over the East End. It seats around 30 to 35 people for lunch or dinner, or holds up to 60 when the event is a standing one. The $300 hire fee secures the balcony along with a bartender who looks after your group until 1am. The space is set up for sound, so guests can plug in a phone and run their own playlist. The kitchen turns out pub fare such as schnitzels, burgers, reuben sandwiches, a curry of the day and a big scotch fillet, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices. Function catering is limited, so talk through food options when you make your enquiry. The pub hosts birthdays, engagement parties, wine launches, wakes and team functions. It does not take bucks or hens nights, pub crawls, or birthdays for those aged 21 and under, which keeps the balcony suited to grown-up gatherings.

Pub is a little dated but that contribute to its old school vibe which is quite nice. Surprisingly very good food, we had chicken schnitty with pepper and duck pie. Really good chips too.
