Black Bull Hotel & County Kitchen in Northumberland

Zac is a legend and sorted us out with a complex sparkling, thanks mate. Top service. 10/10

Service and menu excellent. Presentation, quality and quantity of food excellent. Will definitely return next time we are in Adelaide.

It was a lovely pub in Hindley Street for a meal before going out. Great prices. Food is cooked well and presented beautifully. Plenty of friendly staff. Not too loud with music, which allows for conversation. It's a Wednesday, so it could be louder later in the week. A baby peacefully asleep on the next table. We will definitely eat here again. Might even be on a weekend.

Very bad FOH service. Introduced us to a table, sat us down, ignored us. We went to order food at the bar, she left the bar unattended. She saw us waiting at the bar, however continue ignored the customers. When come to order the food. She told us the kitchen closed, however she supposed to tell the customers in advance. She then told her work collegue to tell us that the kitchen was closed. I have never experienced this lack of care customer service. Avoid if you can.

Had the pleasure of coming to this place last weekend and still can’t get over it! Had the absolute best steak of my life. So nice tender and juicy while the misses had the big and juice black bull burger. Absolutely lovely atmosphere and food and service. Everyone there treats you so well. Had the pleasure of being served by this one lad who looked like Dillon dannis. Would definitely recommend. Great food. Great drink choices. Absolutely amazing

Very disappointed. Ordered the rump steak and got served a huge piece of chewy fat. Brought this to the attention of a server and was told nothing can be done because the rump has a lot of fat. Didn't have this problem at a different restaurant with the rump steak a few days prior. Poor customer service when trying to resolve the issue. Find somewhere else to spend your money.

This is a favourite pub of ours when we visit Adelaide. We always get a decent porterhouse steak cooked right and the sticky date pudding is a nice finisher. I recommend you book a table as the restaurant isn't large and every time we have been there it has been busy. They have a huge beer garden but you have to collect your meals from inside. They are a little light on their wines and don't have any fortified wines for finishers but they do have a good selection of beers.

Staff is respectful and had some beers great pub. Would come back again.

The best chicken parmigiana I have ever had!! Great Friendly service.

Jordan behind the bar made sure we had a memorable experience at Black Bull Hotel. Good selection of tap beers & good atmosphere inside 👌

Great little (well quite big) place in the heart of Adelaide. Service was great. Pizza lovely, steak 100% tasty! The bar man forgot to put my order through as he thought I was waiting for my wife (she was out the back ordering the wood fired pizza from the Beer Garden) - so gave me a free Corona 😀 Great food. Great pricing. EXCELLENT food.

We went in to have a Tomahawk steak 🥩 tonight and we loved it the best steak we have ever had the food was very nice , the waiters and atmosphere was great highly recommended 😊

Great staff and the food was perfectly ccoked!

Ordered beef parmy made with a bolognese sauce and cheese Fantastic Rump steak cooked perfectly. Vegetables were a surprise Roast carrots and parsnips broccoli and zucchini with a slice of red capsicum Fantastic Recommend the meals Also, nice thick napkin was great. Not a cheap paper one 😊👍🏽

Amazing feed for the whole family. Great staff, awesome meals. 👌 👍 👌

The site dates back to 1838 and is also known as oldest hotel in Adelaide but we were here for the steaks 🥩 and pale ale 🍺. Over the past 3 years, Chef Jacob van Eyk and his team have created a wonderful culinary menu of modern Australian grub and serve quality steaks! Love the steaks 👍🏼

Great tasting food and friendly staff. My personal recommendation is the Kangaroo! Nice front bar with a restaurant and a big screen stables area out back and afterwards we were able to go upstairs and enjoy the nightclub!

3 of us had an evening meal at the Black Bull, and we found it was a nice atmosphere, but it was busy at the time so it pays to book a table. 2 of us had 500gram steaks and the 3rd had the kilo steak. All the steaks were cooked to our liking and were delicious. After the steaks we still found room for desert, so enjoyed deserts to finish off the night. Meals were great and the staff were friendly. Would go again.

Huge portions, lovely food and great value

Hubby and I visiting for the golf. Ate here twice. Special shout out for the steaks, amazing quality at reasonable prices. Also would like to mention the staff and service, happy & very friendly each time, makes all the difference. We'll be back next year.

Had a great night, food was beautiful, always known this place as only a nightclub but when I walked in, the two beautiful bar tenders ( Josh & Indi ), where so ever polite and handled us beautifully

Great food and cheap prices but you're absolutely kidding yourself not having Foxtel/Kayo when everyone's over from Gather Round and wanting to watch the footy on the screens!

Honestly the best steak I’ve had in Australia and been here 6 years now! Quality food, reasonable price, friendly and efficient service, and tasty food! Highly recommend!

Best steak of my life at this place

After trying many designer foods on my trip to lovely Adelaide, I was craving a pub meal, in particular a steak & veggies. I had a rump steak cooked to perfection, mash & veggies with mushroom sauce. My sometimes food, I expect the best and it could not have been more perfect. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. Congratulations Black Bull Hotel on keeping it real.

Wanted to have steak here was told to find a table being solo every-time l went to order lost table told try beer garden they only sold pizzas there disappointed with staff and lack of service provided For customer so had no meal left to find somewhere that provides service to customers

Food really nice! Enjoyed our dinner. I want to give a special shoutout to Nathan who was clearly doing the most work out of all the staff. He was cleaning tables, serving food, helping customers. Absolute asset to this hotel. Great work Nathan you deserve to be recognised.

What an absolutely fantastic steak service was great. Only thing maybe was when they started packing up tables for the nightclub upstairs but I'll definitely be going back

Excellent steak, great service from the ladies. Complements to the chef!

Lovely atmosphere and several different areas to enjoy. Not loud at all. Great staff.

I was so angry. The steak was ordered from medium rare to medium rare. After re-cooking it, we were given raw meat! ! !

Greetings from German visitors. We ate here with a group of four and every dish was delicious. The steak was superb and we will come again!

Have a lunch here in a summer afternoon. Very delicious beef ribs, friendly staff and comfortable environment. Not much outdoor seating, but still highly recommended when you visit Adelaide City 😋👍.

I had the blackboard special, pasta of the day fettuccine marinara. Best I have had. Great service and reasonably priced. I will be back.

Had a few drinks in the Beer Garden and it was a great atmosphere and came back a few hours after to have dinner and my family members ordered pizzas and they were amazing but I ordered a $60 Eye Fillet and it tasted very watery like it had been frozen. No problem there, a little off putting but tried to keep eating. My boyfriend went to speak to one of the chefs as he is a chef himself and just wanted to give a little feedback with nothing in return but as he was speaking to the chef, the chef asked all kinds of accusing questions like if he’s a steak connoisseur etc which was not needed as we just wanted to provide feedback but as my partner walked away, he heard the chef mumble that he was a d**khead under his breath which was not called for but my partner wanted to just mind his business as he understands the frustration but it was an inappropriate response. Spoke to the FOH manager on shift and they were very apologetic, mentioned he had not had to deal with this type of response before which was fine because we understand and was given a full refund (the sauce actually cost extra which we weren’t aware about) but appreciate the apology. Manager mentioned he would speak to the chef which we won’t know if he did but we at least approached the effort. Hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else ordering a $60 steak. Good vibe overall but if chefs can’t receive any type of feedback, then they should rethink what it means to be a chef in the industry…

My first time going here, but was told the steaks were good. Ordered the Eye Fillet, Medium. Was probably the best steak I have had in YEARS. Cooked to my liking, PERFECTLY (which let's be honest is hard to achieve on such a thick cut without the skill set to do so)... very nice char that accentuated the flavour of the steak. I am also a non-drinker, so was very happy to hear that soft drinks were at 1980s prices (I exagerate of course, but they were so cheap it almost encourages people to be the designated driver... keep that up, and MARKET it). Only missing that last star on atmosphere because the place isn't perfect, it's on Hindley street so as the night got later the patrons got less 'classy' for lack of better term and the HUGE screen is way too bright. I'm nit picking at this point though. Try the steak!!!!!

An underrated venue. It is better known as a nightclub but serves as a functional and well-serviced pub by day, with full bistro menu available inside. Stables Beergarden has become the premier place for Port Adelaide fans to meet before games, and is highly popular for its delicious pizzas and fun staff.

Bar staff were absolutely lovely. Nice and comfortable, good music had a very relaxed time, from a horrible start to my holiday so far, not a good first impression, but these guys were wonderful.

Extremely friendly staff that were very helpful with our family. Great sized children's meals and great chicken burger.

Old rustic dining room. Friendly service but excellent steaks.

Outstanding steaks. Sides and sauces also first rate. Great service and rustic atmosphere...perfect steakhouse vibe. We will definitely be back 🍻

Very nice dinner, a great steak and well prepared. Prompt and friendly service.

Amazing steak no wonder there best in Adelaide

Great unexpected find. Restaurant was fully booked but as walk ins were directed to the Stables beer garden. Relaxed seating and great pizzas.

Had beef schnitzel. Honestly I'm glad I had gravy with it. Possibly the worst one I have ever had. Very disappointed. Both of us were

500g eye fillet cooked to perfection, no sauce required... too bad I clearly wasn't as hungry as I though haha

Always stop hear when around the place, can't be to bad if I still go back.

One of the best stakes I have ever had in my entire life, the Angus eye fillet was absolutely amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Checked website and website says serving dinner til 9pm, dont tell me the kitchen is closed when i come in at 8.35pm. I was told it was quiet..more reason to take my order. Especially when im a regular customer....took my money elsewhere. Poor service.

Right in the heart of Adelaide, very close to mall. There for lunch on a quiet day & lots of tables available. Staff were good with quick service. Food was pub grub - tasty but nothing special.

Very good food, friendly service. Had pizza the first night was very good. Returned yesterday for another meal.

I ordered the rib eye. Absolutely beautiful steak. Cooked to perfection medium/well exactly how I asked.

What a great place to have a delicious steak in a building with such history behind it.

Great food from an unexpected place and service to match. Will be back again next time I visit Adelaide.

Excellent meals and fantastic staff, only in Adelaide for 3 days total but ate here 5 times.

Great steaks, cold beer, good staff and clilled atmosphere. Yep, go here.

Best staff. Really nice to let me use a power point to charge my phone.

We went for dinner only to find out the kitchen was closed for a month. The staff were nice. I suggested they inform the manager about displaying no meals, and they advised they have already, but the manager hasn't done anything yet.

Closed for food even though says open.

Lunch specials fabulous. Full size meals. Cheesy bread delicious

Great food, friendly staff and good prices. A great night out for dinner

Perfectly cooked steak very well priced with free beer

Steak was cooked to perfection, so tasty and the baramundi was delicious. Be back again when we visit Adelade next.

This place is rad! I can't believe I've not been there before. the back beer garden is spot on! beers are cheap, food is delish.

Lunch specials = restaurant quality at food court prices

We stumbled across this awesome establishment accidentally the day we arrived in Adelaide. Welcomed by a super friendly Brandan behind the bar, what a breath of fresh air given Covid restrictions. We had a delightful lunch and the food was superb. Brandan made us feel so welcome, we returned for dinner. (He even remembered what we ordered). Anyway greeted at dinner time by the same friendly, pleasant young man, he said “You made it back”? Anyway young Lucy looked after us at dinner time and was as equally as pleasant. Congrats team Black Bull for making us 2 Tasmanians feel so incredibly welcome on our first day. We can’t wait to visit again. 10 out of 10. #outstandingcustomerservice.

Me gusta comer hay, ellos preparan bien las carnes. Que es lo que yo más consumó

Staff are so friendly and accommodating. The haloumi veggie burger is amazing. The house red and sparkling are to die for, but what I love most is the history in every room. So fascinating to see all the pics and read about life back then. By far the best pub in the city. Love you guys!!

Good place, cheap drinks. Feet some cool ladies who let us be friend

Good burger, good service, nice atmosphere.

Nice place, staff are awesome and the food is good.

Great staff, big meals and central location. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals, worth the visit.

Meal sizes are tiny compared to other pubs in the area

One of the best steakhouses in town!

Great for a night out. Went on the AUES Pub Crawl - great vibes and good times. Highly recommend

This has to be one of the best hotels in Adelaide. Service was great but the steak was even better. Go there for a drink and dinner and you won't be disappointed.

Bit of a Gem this one. Not fancy but comfortable. Staff are friendly, food is great, large servings. Been 5 times so far and will be back. Rustic surounds.

The eye fillet steak was amazing. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere

Great neighbourhood pub. Good food at reasonable price. Friendly staff.

Really good food and at a good price

Just need the downstairs outside area open on Fridays. Favourite place on hindly

The food was OK. My steak was a good cut of meat, but inconsistently cooked, served with very al dente vegetables. Not inedible, but I've had plenty of good meals and some better, at loads of pubs, so I don't feel this was anything special.

Authentic pub atmosphere. Good food and service.

Absolutely amazing. This is my second time I have been here and each visit has been fantastic. The service, atmosphere and the food. My steaks are cooked to perfection and taste amazing. If you want a great steak, this place will not disappointment. I can't wait to go here again.

Friendly staff nice place to have a drink and eat

Great place, recommend to everyone. Cheap drinks and great environment. Loved it

Great food live the place was looking for place on Monday night and was very pleased when we found this bar

We usually have meal and a drink there before or after the footy as it is very convenient, food has always been good. 4 1/2 stars for a pub.

Needed a drink after the footy, go the Power! So stopped at the Black Bull and sat outside, wow, Hindley street never ceases to amaze!

Great beer garden and smoking area. Friendly service aswell as great food and specials. Very efficient and clean sanitary. No sports bar or Poker other than that pokies available for side entertainment

Steak is great, I love medium rare. And Caesar salad is wonderful. Don’t miss it.

Great pub with friendly staff and great steaks

Yummy steak, 100% recommend eating here. Always amazing steak meals.

Cheap beers good people watching venue

Much larger than I was expecting. Fast service at the bars, lots of micro environments

Can't remember so must've been alright

Menu has lots to choose from. Staff excellent and location good and easy to find.

Fantastic pub meal served quickly. Well worth the stop in
