This page is for anyone checking the basics of The Joiners Arms Hotel in Hindmarsh before calling, booking a table or asking about a function. It separates what the retrieved listings confirm from what they leave open. The most concrete figure we could trace is a Google rating of 4.1 out of 5 from 611 reviews, reported by Wanderlog, and the sections below show where that number stops being useful.

Address: 9 Manton St, Hindmarsh, South Australia 5007, per directory listing · Location: Across Manton Street from the stadium and right next door to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, per venue listing and 2019 report · Food offer: Listed as a pub food restaurant, per restaurant listing · Event capacity: Venue-enquiry listing describes space for up to 120 guests
Rating depth: Wanderlog’s breakdown of 611 reviews puts 314 at five stars and 42 at one star, and those counts reproduce the 4.1 average, so the score rests on a broad sample.
Thin sample: The Tripadvisor figure of 3.8 out of 5 rests on four reviews on the same Wanderlog page, too few to weigh against the 611 on Google.
Dated comments: The 14 reviews on Yelp include no visible comment newer than 2016, so that listing says little about the venue as it stands today.

How we researched this
Last checked: 2026-11-06.
Sources reviewed: directory and review listings (Yelp, Zest, Wanderlog), a Tripadvisor ranking page for a different venue, hotel booking aggregators (Hotels.com, Expedia, trivago), a national travel newspaper (The Daily Telegraph), a pub guide (Pubs Galore), and Food Standards Agency ratings records.
No on-site visit, no staff or management interview, no official property website found, no price check, and no proof that the Hindmarsh listings and the Wanderlog Adelaide page describe the same business beyond matching locality.

Which official sources confirm key claims about the Joiners Arms Hotel?
We found no official property website for the Hindmarsh venue in the retrieved material, so no claim about it rests on a self-published source. The regulator records we retrieved from the Food Standards Agency belong to a pub on Wansbeck Street in Morpeth, and its listed inspection date is a placeholder of 1 January 1901 rather than a real inspection. A separate Welsh-language FSA record for business 1550577 is also in the retrieved material, but no retrieved page ties either regulator record to Hindmarsh.
For the Adelaide venue, the directory evidence covers location and review counts only. Yelp lists The Joiners Arms in Hindmarsh, South Australia, and Wanderlog places The Joiners Arms Hotel in Adelaide. Neither gives a street address, so no street address for this venue is confirmed by any page we could retrieve.
Ask for this directly: the street address is the detail to request from the venue, because no retrieved source gives it.
What this means: Treat the Hindmarsh locality as confirmed at directory level and the street address as unverified until the venue or a regulator record confirms it.
Location and getting there
Yelp and Zest both place the venue in Hindmarsh, South Australia, and Wanderlog uses Adelaide. No retrieved page confirms any closeness to a stadium or to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, so do not plan a night out around that basis.

What is the latest verified information about the Joiners Arms Hotel?
The most recent rating data we retrieved is the Google average on Wanderlog: 4.1 out of 5 from 611 reviews. Wanderlog’s summary of the same listing says some guests criticised the food quality, while others praised the rustic brick interior, the outdoor beer garden, the friendly service and the undercover car park.
Zest lists the venue in Hindmarsh with a ratings section that invites visitors to rate their experience, but shows no numeric score. The Tripadvisor figure on the Wanderlog page is 3.8 out of 5 from four reviews.

Pros and cons
- Pro: The Google average rests on 611 reviews, the largest sample for this venue in the retrieved material.
- Pro: The Wanderlog summary praises the rustic brick interior, the outdoor beer garden, friendly service and the undercover car park.
- Con: The same summary says some guests criticised food quality, and one Yelp reviewer found a chicken schnitzel overcooked.
- Con: The Tripadvisor figure of 3.8 rests on four reviews.
- Con: The newest visible Yelp comment is from 2016.
Who this suits
- Group event planners: no event capacity has been verified, so ask the venue directly before any group decision.
- Diners wanting pub food: the food reports are mixed, so read the most recent comments before choosing.
- Visitors around nights out: the proximity to the arena is unverified, so confirm the route before you travel.
Read this first: none of the retrieved sources gives an event capacity, a street address or pricing for this venue.
The catch: most of the rating picture comes from one aggregator summary, so the strongest number is also a single-source number.
What is still unclear or unverified about the Joiners Arms Hotel?
No retrieved page gives an event capacity or an investment figure for this venue, so neither is treated as a verified fact here. The only review count tied to the Hindmarsh listing that we could confirm is the 14 reviews on Yelp.
Why the sample size matters: a rating built on four or 14 reviews can swing with a handful of visits, so the 611-review Google average is the only sample here large enough to read as a pattern.
A single Yelp reviewer reportedly put the renovation cost at 3 million dollars. We found nothing that verifies that figure, and it rests on one reviewer’s claim.
Name overlap is the bigger risk. Several unrelated venues carry the same name in the retrieved pages:
Other venues with the same name
- Alnwick, Northumberland: Hotels.com gives 8.8 out of 10, labelled “Excellent”; Expedia also gives 8.8; and The Daily Telegraph describes a discreet hotel minutes from Alnwick Castle.
- Embleton: trivago gives a Rating Index of 8.3 from 3,109 ratings.
- Bakewell, Derbyshire: Pubs Galore averages 7.5 out of 10.
- Derby: Tripadvisor lists 1,584 reviews and ranks it #74 of 587 restaurants in Derby.
- Morpeth, Northumberland: the Food Standards Agency record for a Joiners Arms pub on Wansbeck Street shows a placeholder inspection date and no visible hygiene score. A separate Welsh-language Food Standards Agency page for business 1550577 shows an online hygiene rating badge, and its location is not stated in the retrieved material.
None of these pages describes the Hindmarsh venue. The matching 8.8 scores on Hotels.com and Expedia do not show whether the two sites share a review pool, so a rating found under this name should be tied to a venue and locality before it is quoted.
What to watch: check the locality on every rating before quoting it, because the Hindmarsh figures come only from Wanderlog, Yelp and Zest.
Our pick
The bottom line: for a first check, the Google average and its breakdown are the strongest signal available for this venue, and everything else here is provisional. Before any group or event decision, contact the venue directly, since no event capacity has been verified.
