In the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown, The Strathmore Hotel
has emerged as a stunning success story, blending the original
heritage of colonial Adelaide with contemporary pub design.
At a deeper level, it has become a beacon of hope during a time
of unprecedented adversity – and a poignant reminder to the
community and political leaders that pubs are family affairs, with
personal livelihoods on the line.
Nothing has been left untouched during The Strathmore’s multiyear,
multi-million-dollar renovation.
One of the first features you see upon entering is the soaring
western wall; a design statement that oozes history.
This is no ordinary wall. The Strathmore is one of Adelaide’s
oldest pubs and the bricks were probably laid by SA’s first
settlers. (The Strathmore is located about a kilometre from the
spot where these entrepreneurial souls first pitched their tents on
the banks of the River Torrens.)
The wall runs two-storeys high, rising 7.5 metres through a
recently opened void in the first floor.
