Established in 1977, Payneham Tavern has been a beloved fixture in the Payneham community, just 10 kilometers east of Adelaide’s city center. Over the years, this local watering hole has seen multiple transformations, the most recent being a major renovation in 2024, which brought a fresh and inviting atmosphere to the pub. 

Originally a simple venue, Payneham Tavern has evolved into much more than just a place to grab a drink. It has become a popular gathering spot where friends and families come together to create lasting memories. The tavern’s modern, yet warm ambiance offers something for everyone—from a cozy bar to a spacious dining room. It’s the perfect spot for everything from casual nights out to special occasions. 

Today, customers can enjoy a range of hearty pub meals, including local favorites like Chicken Schnitzel and Braised Lamb and Pinot Pie, all crafted from fresh, seasonal South Australian produce. The tavern also caters to families with a dedicated kids’ menu and a seniors’ menu, ensuring there’s something for all ages. 

With a state-of-the-art sports bar, and a fully fenced playground next to the beer garden, Payneham Tavern is the ultimate spot for entertainment.  

Payneham Tavern continues to be a hub of community and a place where locals gather for good times. Come and experience the warmth and hospitality of our newly renovated venue today!
