    The Grace is one of the last good pubs in Adelaide. Character drips from every surface. Lots of live music, lots of Coopers on tap, and a great barman. Go.

    Last best pub in Australia, a little piece of friendly community that reminds me of the early 90's!

    Great pub for live music. Small stage and you get to see the bands quite closely and great sound from a small venue. Front bar is cool too, old school Aussie style.

    Great vibe, friendly bar staff, but please put some ventilation, fans, anything, for the musicians on stage. so hot. We got to see Wils’n, brilliant.

    Absolute gem of a place. Good value drinks, a cosy atmosphere and amazing music. Would absolutely recommend - very glad to have come.

    Good old fashioned pub dedicated to simple beers and live music. Local acts and some surprises keep it fresh and real ... No pokies...

    No food, Beer and wine pub with live music several nights a week. Basic Aussie pub of a type that is sadly disappearing. Great night out.

  • 5/5 Helen K. 7 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Great eclectic space, great live bands that do original music. Fantastic bands, relaxed atmosphere

    Great local pub, quirky items on the walls. Great staff.

  • 5/5 Alex C. 10 months ago on Google
    Went in on a Monday night and was welcomed gracefully by the staff and a few locals (myself being from Melbourne down for a little vaca weekend), and really had a lovely night listening to music and watching people play pool. Thanks team, will be back soon ✨️

    It's a ok hotel, alittle on the small side. Toilets are disgusting with graffiti. Needs more seating for people with disabilities for gigs.

  • 5/5 Erik M. 1 year ago on Google
    Small, cosy bar with a great atmosphere and service. Good drink prices too.

  • 5/5 Dani D. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place. Great bar staff, great atmosphere, great service and amazing relaxing experience.. I loved looking at all the relics surrounding the walls.. And the best part, it's still an old school pub with no damn pokies

    Such a lovely pub. Wonderful service with lively and hospitable staff. The music is great, whether it’s just the music played over the speakers, or bands playing at The Grace. Definitely check it out, as it has a great atmosphere, and plenty going on, such as live jazz nights, pool, darts, and a weekly quiz.

    Cool place! Nice music, kind host, moderated prices! Visit it, if you are around!

  • 5/5 Josuel T. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a classic underground pub, it looks like a place founded by old pirates. It also reminds a little of CBGB in the cradle of punk. Grace Emily is one of the best I've been to.

  • 5/5 Frank R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Great vibe and one of the best pubs for live music

  • 4/5 Garry S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good music, enjoyable atmosphere

  • 5/5 Casey E. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on a Wednesday evening, was pleasantly surprised by the live music and overall vibe of the place mid week. I'll be back for sure.

  • 2/5 Aye C. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting old pub that would not have seen a change or a clean in 50 years. Interesting memorabilia all around. What did it for me was $10 for a beer and $10 for a generic white wine. For a daggy pub in the back streets, that is way overpriced and there are plenty of pubs in East End charging between $3 and $6 less than this place. Do some research guys.

    Played a gig there. Great people, great little venue. Bands got an Esky of Cooper's. Can't complain. I believe Steve (maybe it was Steven) was the sound guy. Absolute legend, just wanting to help out and all that. Hope to play another gig there soon

    Lovely pub with quiet, friendly staff and a welcoming vibe.

  • 4/5 Chad L. 2 years ago on Google
    Billy Bob's BBQ Jamboree is always awesome on a Monday night for open Mic and rock/ blues playing. Get into it!

  • 5/5 Harry G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best pub in Adelaide. Nothing fancy, good beer, good wine, live bands, pool, darts and no pokies.

  • 5/5 P G. 2 years ago on Google
    Have frequented this niche kitsch pub for near 20 years, a style all it's own, some very entertaining gigs in the back room, many a game of pool, and beer always fresh and cold.

  • 5/5 Ben 2 years ago on Google
    Great vibe, well mannered patrons, great staff. Hope the insurance comes through soon, an absolute Adelaide institution that shouldn't go away.

  • 5/5 Tim B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great live music venue. The birthplace of some great muso’s and bands. Love this place.

  • 5/5 summer h. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place, not too crowded and the dress code isn't as strict as other hotels/pubs, which is a nice addition for me. Could have some new beer varieties though, only cooper beers seem a bit limited on choice.

  • 5/5 Tim B. 3 years ago on Google
    Good, ol' fashioned music pub with local beers, walls plastered in posters, and a vibe that upholds a genuine, no frills (unless the frills are retro) attitude to a front bar scene.

  • 4/5 Leanne C. 3 years ago on Google
    Cosy pub with great staff. Saw Sarah McLeod here & was surprised with the good sound considering the small space. Cool outdoor space too.

  • 5/5 yazan a. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best pubs in Adelaide. Great decorations and nice atmosphere. 100% recommended.
