The Three Brothers Arms is not only the oldest pub in the Adelaide Hills, but is one of less than a handful that still operates under its original license, making it THE pub to come and visit while travelling through beautiful South Australia.

In 1840 approval was given by government surveyors to draw up a town plan on an ideal location. The existence of a natural spring, bountiful farming land, and proximity to the Angas River proved enticing and the town of Macclesfield was born. The same year The Goats Head Inn was planned and in early 1841 opened for trade. Built on the higher bank of the Angas River it was blessed with bountiful water supply and became the perfect rest stop for the weary traveller.

By 1851, The Goats Head Inn had its own brewery. The local brew won awards in both Europe and the United Kingdom and kept the rangers and bushmen well watered for the next 60 years. Today we honour this past by pouring a local beer named ‘Goats Head Lager’.

Now named The Three Brothers Arms, the establishment continues to serve refreshments to weary travellers as well as boasting an excellent a-la-carte menu for those interested in fine dining.

We pride ourselves on being a NO POKIES establishment. Music and the arts are the foundation of The Three Brothers Arms – backed up of course by great beer, excellent local wines and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

There is nowhere else like The Three Brothers Arms. Come and see for yourself!
