Adelaide’s most well-known watering holes have something in common: Sarah.
The Maid, The Stirling, The Bath, The Archer, The Dublin, The Belgium Beer Café are some of Adelaide’s most well-known watering holes. And they all have something in common: Sarah.
Sarah has breathed new life into all of these hotels and many more, which often have construction complexities like stone walls, chimneys, heritage compliance, basements and salt damp. Convoluted service paths also make these restoration projects a bit tricky. Cutting through unpredictable stone walls, supporting loads and removal of materials can be very technical work, all to be carried out within very small spaces.
