Port Admiral HotelBottle Shop

Reopened in 2023 under new independent ownership after a decade dark, the Port Admiral's attached bottle shop stocks several hundred wines, beers and spirits, drawn from small and independent producers rather than the major distributor lines that fill most pub bottle-os. Bottles can be taken away or opened at the bar with corkage, blurring the line between retail and hospitality in a way that suits a heritage pub more used to serving counter meals. The hotel itself, on the corner of Commercial Road in the centre of Port Adelaide, is one of the port precinct's older buildings, and the bottle shop gives it a reason for locals to drop in outside meal times. Trading follows the hotel's hours, seven days. For anyone exploring Port Adelaide's maritime history along Commercial Road, it's a solid spot to pick up something local to take back to a rental or B&B.
