Sparkke at the Whitmore Hotel, ADELAIDE, SA

Sparkke at the Whitmore is the latest incarnation of one of Adelaide's oldest pubs - with the addition of a new rooftop bar, a nano brewery, two kitchens, a bottle shop and a number of event spaces. Here makers are celebrated; everything at the Whitmore is driven by Sparkke's values of individuality, raw truth, social equity, a passion for excellence, and inclusivity. This shows up in food, bevvies, the Sparkke Shop, events and artists, and across the extraordinary environment of the Whitmore.

The building itself is a bit of a marvel; during our renovation process Sparkke discovered a pub within a pub. Previously undiscovered, built in the 1840s, the Whitmore was first licensed by Thomas Maslin in December 1838 – you could say, he was the first squatter on the land Sparkke now calls home. Dinners for 50, weddings for a 100, performances for 300 or private dining/board room for 16 and all things between – every function area reveals the building’s history.

But don’t look for stereotypes here, you’re just as likely to get Adelaide’s best expresso martini as one of their 100% natural brews – like their cider (Best of Class 2017 and 2018 at the Australian National Cider Awards) – while you are sitting on the pub's new roof top bar looking out over the green of the square.
