About the function space

Tucked away in Adelaide's CBD is this stunningly restored pub with a captivating sense of style.

The Top Level is true to its namesake, with gorgeous period detail reminiscent of a French high tea from yesteryear. Never fear though, the Benji has rocked those chandeliers with plenty of cocktail parties.

There is a stunning balcony for alfresco drinks and celebrations, as well as a separate chillout room which can be used for relaxing, or for gifts and handbags.

The qualified chefs will make delightful culinary masterpieces to suit your particular function, and you also get your own private bar to keep your guests refreshed and happy.
