Step back in time and explore the colourful history of Adelaide's hotel scene through fascinating stories of the SP illegal betting, after-hours drinking, lurk merchants, and larrikins.
These tales, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, were once front-page news in the local and interstate papers.
Join us for a captivating talk that uncovers the daring, the shady, and the unforgettable moments that once defined the city's hotel culture.
