The Tap Inn is just five minutes from the Adelaide CBD, and stranger than anywhere you've ever eaten before. As '
the only hotel in the Southern Hemisphere to house an indoor golf range,' the establishment has perfected the art of quirkiness.
Boasting a choice of formal dining or something more casual, as well as a homely bar and beer garden, the building is a multi-storey adventure itself and decorated with an odd collection of oversized hourglasses, hidden-camera statues and eerie stained glass windows. And then of course there's the golf - starting at $20 including club hire in the Driving bay, to $28.40 to play 18 holes in the Simulator Room.
The decor at the Tap Inn is interesting and a little odd - in a good way.
The indoor beer garden houses one table where seating is suspended from chains in the ceiling, though those who suffer from motion sickness are probably a little better off sitting elsewhere in this cosy establishment, because the food is not to be missed.
The famous tapas offer something to everyone's taste, whether you prefer meat-free pan-fried haloumi with sweet peppers, or something more exotic like thai crocodile cakes. The seafood is beautifully prepared, light and full of flavour; best of all, there is something for all budgets. Wash it down with a bottle of beautiful wine or one of the many quality beers and ciders on tap.
