Oak and Iron Tavern

Oak and Iron Tavern sits within the historic Auchendarroch House at 17 Adelaide Road, Mount Barker. It is a family-friendly tavern with steaks, local Adelaide Hills beers and wines, and a fireplace inside. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, set among the grounds.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the outdoor seating attached to the venue; the historic interior, gaming room and lounge are people-only. Staff are accommodating to outdoor diners and often provide water bowls, though bringing your own is the safe move.

Good to know. The kitchen leans on local SA produce and beverages, with steaks a staple. The setting in the restored Auchendarroch House and its gardens is the real character of the place.

Getting there. The address is 17 Adelaide Road, but the dedicated car park is accessed off Dumas Street, which is easy to miss. Free off-street parking puts you a short walk from the outdoor tables.

Nearby with the dogs. The tavern is close to local Mount Barker parks and walking trails, and there are outdoor cafe options nearby for a pre or post-meal stroll.

When to go. Open seven days for lunch and dinner. Lunch on a fine day is the pick for the outdoor seating, before the evening dining crowd arrives.
