Earl ofAberdeen Hotel

A corner pub has stood on this Pulteney Street site since 1850, when the Devon Arms first served travellers on the southern edge of the city; the current bluestone building, with its red-brick quoins, went up in 1879–80 and took the name Earl of Aberdeen. It now trades as the Original Coopers Alehouse, a partnership with Coopers — Australia's largest family-owned brewery, still headquartered in South Australia — and pours its full range on tap alongside a pub-fare menu that runs to schnitzel, ribs and kangaroo fillet. Trivia runs on Tuesday nights, and the doors stay open long past most Adelaide kitchens, with last drinks at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. It is one of a small handful of Coopers-branded alehouses in the state, each grafted onto an existing local pub rather than built from scratch, which keeps the corner-hotel character of the original building intact. A steady CBD fixture for anyone tracking the city's original grid of colonial corner pubs.
