Henley Beach’s Ramsgate Hotel has entered a bold new chapter, reopening its doors after a complete renovation.
The iconic Ramsgate Hotel is reopening its doors on November 20 after a dazzling $1.4 million renovation that will aim to further enhance the Henley Beach pub scene. With a new take on quality food and drink, the hotel’s revamped atmosphere is up and running, just in time for the festive season.
Here’s everything you can expect to see on your next visit:
- Elevated dining with a particular emphasis on South Australian produce
- Refurbished courtyard and sports bar areas, complete with a pool table and big screen TVs
- New outdoor dining areas with beautiful Henley Square views
- A spacious new dining area set for large groups
- A thoughtful rebrand marking a new era for the Ramsgate Hotel
The classy makeover welcomes a new era for the Ramsgate, evolving from its lively party days into a luxurious, sophisticated venue. ALH Hotels SA State Manager, Ric Torchia, says, “We want the Ramsgate to be the go-to destination for all occasions—whether it’s a quiet family dinner, a celebration, or a gathering with friends.”
Although the renovation didn’t involve significant structural changes, it has dramatically elevated the space. The focus has been on refreshing the hotel’s interior with bright and modern touches that reflect the coastal charm of Henley Beach. Every detail has been carefully considered to create an inviting ambiance that suits everything from a casual lunch to a special night out. With a spacious new dining area the Ramsgate has been transformed into a hub for celebrations, big and small.
One of the many highlights of the Ramsgate’s transformation is its new menu. Guests can expect a mix of classic pub favourites and upmarket dishes, with an emphasis on the freshest local ingredients.
Torchia says, “Our commitment to quality is reflected in every dish. With daily specials like the 250g Porterhouse on Monday nights, the half lobster on Tuesdays, and our $2 oyster happy hour on Sundays – there is something for everyone to enjoy. Our menu is a true celebration of South Australia’s rich culinary heritage, and we’re proud to feature local hero dishes that showcase the freshest catch from our waters.”
As the Ramsgate reopens, the focus is on creating a vibrant community hub that offers more than just great food and drink. It’s a place where quality dining, live sport, and a welcoming atmosphere culminate, providing a space that locals are proud of. The Ramsgate has been a beloved part of the Henley Beach landscape for years, and this transformation promises to cement its status as a must-visit destination on the Adelaide coastline.
With summer just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be better for a venue that invites patrons to relax, enjoy, and take in the stunning surroundings. Whether you’re dropping by for a casual lunch, meeting friends for a drink in the courtyard, or celebrating a special occasion, the new Ramsgate Hotel is ready to welcome the community back and redefine what a great local pub can be.
A beloved institution for more than a century, this Henley Square icon has been a local favourite since 1897. Originally built to serve ice cold beer to workers loading sheep from the nearby jetty, the Ramsgate has evolved into a social hotspot in the heart of Henley. Now, after a major facelift, it’s ready to welcome the next generation of patrons.
