History

Nestled in the quiet suburb of Parkside, South Australia, The Earl of Leicester Hotel is only minutes from the city of Adelaide.

Be amazed by the diversity of this unique hotel. From the humour of the themed Liars Bar, the intimacy of the fine dining Liars Restaurant & Courtyard, to the casual & very affordable Leicester's Bistro & Gaming Lounge. The Leicester has become famous for its' massive Schnitzels and delicious Salt & Pepper Squid, both of which are served in the Liars Bar & Bistro areas. Combine all of this with the added benefit of the Upstairs Private Function Room that boasts No Room Hire Fee. The Leicester has something & more for everyone!

The Earl of Leicester Hotel was built in 1886 for Henry Pope who was the licensee until 1894. The architects were English & Soward and along with William Ling, the contractor, they built a charming two storey pub constructed of red brick and bluestone. Externally it has retained mostly all of its original appearance; internally extensive renovation still evokes the 19th century with the use of exposed timber, leadlighting and open fireplaces.
