About The Lighthouse Wharf Hotel

Prime Port Adelaide real estate right along the docks. Locals head straight upstairs to the balcony terrace for cold beers, river breezes, and long catch-ups overlooking the lighthouse. The kitchen turns out classic pub fare—generous beef schnittys drenched in pepper gravy, crisp battered fish, and towering seafood platters with oysters Kilpatrick. Weekday specials keep daytime dining cheap, from crumbed prawn cutlets to schnitzel burgers flanked by salty chips. Settle in by the water with a chilled glass of rosé and a bowl of fresh salad tossed with mint.

  • Decadent Seafood Platters: Shared towers loaded with oysters Kilpatrick, battered fish, and fresh sides.
  • Value Lunch Specials: Substantial daytime and weekday deals featuring schnittys, prawn cutlets, and crisp chips.
  • Upstairs Balcony Views: Elevated river and lighthouse outlooks from the upper alfresco deck.
