Nestled in the heart of Payneham, our tavern has been a cherished community hub for generations. We’re more than just a place to grab a drink; we’re a gathering spot where friends meet, stories are shared, and memories are made.
Step inside and experience our inviting ambience. From our cosy bar area to our spacious dining room, there’s a spot for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out or a special occasion, our friendly staff are here to make you feel right at home.
We had an incredible evening at the AHASA Hotel Industry Awards for Excellence Gala Dinner, bringing home the title of Best Redeveloped Hotel.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the renovation and helped bring this new chapter to life. We’re raising a glass to the win! Come in and celebrate with us soon!

Craving hearty pub fare with a modern twist? We use fresh, seasonal South Australian produce to craft classic dishes you know and love. Sink your teeth into a juicy Chicken Schnitzel, or savour our delicious Braised Lamb + Pinot Pie. Gather the crowd and enjoy a range of share plates and snacks – including our range of hand-stretched pizzas.
With a dedicated kids’ menu and seniors’ menu, a meal at the Payneham Tavern is a family affair.
