I’ll make tears from your Wines.
I don’t agree with it, just trying to understand it.

I follow his FB page and some of the photos he posts are an excellent portrayal of the area. That mural above looks pretty damn good too.
Great to hear and it will always be the home of the Port Adelaide Football Club - something that can never be challenged in SA.
Did you check out the menu?
It's hoped the quality is top of the agenda as the dining experience will open the PAFC to a significantly broader clientele.

Particularly if the food is good.
I did. It looks good, will be back to try a few things before.
No salad bar for those that liked that.
My old man made a few jokes about never even imagining bottles of wine priced at $100 being available to purchase at Alberton.

You may be severely disappointed, the folks went there for lunch the other day, the old man said if you wanted something fried you might be happy but he isn’t in a rush to head back for food.

That selection of pizzas is for an acquired taste really, not my type. I've eaten there twice already. Had the Chicken schnitzel and Flathead Fillets. I thought the servings were on the small side but they were cooked fine. I eat around other places and think that there's better value elsewhere. The $28 Beef schnitzel was removed from the menu before they started but in comparison to the portion size of the Chicken it was probably not worth it.

Plenty of places down that way you can get a good meal. Only 1 of them you can go through a port museum and have a drink overlooking the oval.
Meals just need to be average to be honest

That's it. Just needs to be simple food, fresh ingredients, cooked well and I'm happy.
Not sure what people are bitching about, pricing looks about standard compared to some of the fancier pubs out there, and there's plenty of not fried stuff. If you ask nicely they might be able to do a hawaiian pizza for the pickier eaters.
Of course you can get better value at your basic pub, but this clearly isn't one of them.

Prices look pretty standard to me. Its not 2019 anymore. Food costs have become ridiculous.
Also not sure about the fried food thing. I counted 10 items out of 39 across the menu that would be fried. I'd say that would be on the low side compared to most pubs.
I'm going there during the week, see how it goes.

They should call that Hawaiian a “Shane Warne” pizza just for laughs.

Wouldn't calling it a Scomo be more apt?

Ok I should have posted this the other day when the Darryl Poole stories came out, but speaking to a Club 1870 member who volunteers for the club all year round, I asked what was the reason for the change, and she told me they stuffed up with putting the players mural upstairs.
The stories I heard were wrong and I should have asked why change it before I posted my comments above.
The intention is that The Precinct is supposed to be different in look and feel and the menu to the local pubs and drive traffic from around the local area as well as attract people who don't live close by, on game day and at other times. The club wants The Precinct to be a big revenue earner and profitable, given the upgrade to it and also to the retail store and the museum attracting people to Alberton.
I remember writing on here back in 2005 and 2006, after our big loss in 2005, that the Port Club is a great $4mil+ asset that helps showcase the club, but it has to start generating more revenue and profit. Nothing has changed and it has struggled to do that over the following 16 years. Now its probably a $10mil+ plus asset, so the club would want it generating $1mil+ profit each year.
It sounds like the club and consultants had a change of heart after the mural went up and said downstairs is all about football, and upstairs is all about food and beverage and you get the footy aspect by looking out the windows.
The players mural has been kept and will be going up in "the big shed" when it is built on the eastern side of the ground.
As much as I loved the football mural, I really like Darryl's mural of the port and like using the 160 year old wharf pylons and other stuff especially down stairs, it locks in the port is the heartland of the club, and the club is also part of the heartland of Port Adelaide.

Haven't been to Adelaide since covid, but am looking forward to seeing a the new developments, including the Precinct. I reckon I'd be so stoked about being to go there again it'd get a 5 star rating regardless, but that menu looks fine.

The Alberton Hotel probably has dibs on that, given that's where he lived the year he was at the cricket academy.
I work in the hospitality industry, every second email is from a supplier notifying us of a price increase, minimum order requirement and or delivery fee increase. It's not only produce and food that have gone up, laundry, chemicals, packaging, cleaners, global coffee prices, minimum wage increase etc.
The cost to eat out is no longer what it was 2 years ago, the sooner people realise this the better.
