One of Adelaide’s oldest and most historic hotels. The Maid has been a mainstay of the Adelaide hotel scene since it was first built in 1848, with the latest transformation aimed at reinvigorating what had become a tired old watering hole. The Maid brings with its renovation unprecedented style and prestige.
Capitalising on its eastern city fringe location and somewhat avant-garde makeover, the Maid has proven a hit with the “white collar” crowd, with tertiary students, Pub savvy “Y-Gens” and corporate professionals alike are all turning up in droves to check out the recently refurbished Maid and Magpie Hotel at Stepney.
Simply known as “The Maid” to its regulars, the landmark pub is reaping the benefits of a very smart $3.6 million redevelopment that has taken over two years to complete.
Hip and elegant, yet welcoming and practical, the new-look beacon at the “Maid and Magpie corner” at the eastern end of North Terrace certainly has been “Maid” to order.

With Stage Two completed now late 2006, work commenced on the third and final stage, spearheaded by a new upstairs bar tagged “The Loft”. It is currently open to the public and available for functions, but is due to be launched as a “members bar” in the future. A smaller version of the downstairs bar with a New York Lounge feel, and a Phillipe Stark design makeover, it has to be seen to be believed.  With lounge seating for 70-80 guests, you can choose from a number of small little intimate corners or just sit at the magnificent and elegant ‘Digi Glass Bar’.

A brand new Beer Garden sporting a massive Date Palm has been added on the Payneham Road side and is characterised by the warmth of its timber decking, water features and contemporary outdoor furniture.

The acquisition of two properties behind the hotel has also paved the way for a much larger car park, as well as a detached Function Centre that caters for up to 110 people.

The entire venue has been designed with the upcoming indoor smoking ban in mind, with every bar connected to an outdoor area.
