The Gov

Probably one of my favourite gig venues to date! Super friendly and chilled staff. Love the lively music environment and the hot chips there were great too! I particularly love the balance of the place: - you can be right up at the stage, intimately enjoying live music - you can hang out in cozy booths under pretty lights - you can hang out in the pub area inside, still within earshot of tunes - you can listen to the live music and still have a clear view of the stage while having a smoke outside, hanging out on stools or outdoor couches - the bar area is well-placed with ease of access - the merchandise areas are easy to get to aswell! Was really awesome experiencing a heavy music gig in an intimate space (that would usually be very sweaty and claustrophobic) with plenty of fresh air flowing in! Absolutely will be back when I get the chance!

Fresh salads 🥗, amazing fish & chips 🐟🍟, and thin & crispy pizzas 🍕 that are totally worth it. Drinks are always cold and refreshing 🍹❄️. Super friendly staff 🤗 and a really sweet vibe ✨. Great food, live music 🎶, and fun performances 🎤 hands down the best pub in Adelaide

Caught Testament few weeks ago at the Gov. The sound was spot on and really brought the energy. Staff were super friendly, and the food hit the spot. Definitely recommend the chicken wings. Thrash metal and yummy food. can’t think of a better way to wrap up the weekend.

Fantastic venue with many different rooms to sneak off to. I went for a student expo but would love to go to a concert here.

A fabulous venue to see all sorts of live music. The artist are from originals to good cover bands. Great public transport to get to the venue and Adelaide from your home. Food is great. Has a cloak room which is great in winter. Great area for smokers (music could be a bit louder in this area. We put it down to possible noise restrictions. There's more than one bar which has different live entertainment. There could be better toilet arrangements. Absolutely love this place. Hats off to the owners, organisers.

An amazing live music venue! La Bomba Latin Productions have been running our shows at The Gov since 1999 Our Salsa bands and Latin dance lovers have rated the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel as their fave Latin dance spot!

We hosted a party in the balcony space at The Gov and had an incredible experience! Everything from the staff, the food, the help with questions and support with the decorations, was top notch! It's fantastic value for money and would highly recommend this venue to others for their event.

Good place to watch big and small gigs. Decent food and a PLENTY of space. This place has a mix of areas- ranging from the intimate small stage and living room type area to regular front bar to big dining area to concert venue for 700 people. Nice beer selection.
