If I was around Noarlunga I wouldn't hesitate in going to Noarlunga, a lot more appealing than the Colonnades, Porty or CB.
There's nothing around the Grand Central I'd consider going to.
There's nothing around the Northern Tavern or Grand North if I was visiting someone in Yatala.

Westies has a good space around it as the pubs in the area aren't doing a lot IMHO.
Eagles have a great setup, been there for lunch myself whilst not considering anything in the area.
Besides game day I wouldn't even consider walking into the Bay Oval with the great pubs near it, its all about the walk in dollar.
Christ, even one game day I had to go to the Holdy to appease the crowd on the hill as the GFC couldn't cater for them.
Seeing as I live on the other side of town I havent been in a while, yet I used to go along quite often to the Eagles club on Port Rd in the old Hanrahans site. That is a really well run club and quite popular as a result, yet what is good about the Eagles club is that they retain their club at their ground, so a lot of the locals like to head around to the front bar there where it it a bit quieter - so as a result I have had a few beers in there!
The Central club is great, yet often really packed out, so I dont get down there very often. Yet I do like going to Grand North on Grand Junction Rd, the front bar there is the Greenacres football club and they have a great atmosphere in there, I am certain that what North has done there would have benefited the Dragons greatly!
Looking forward to calling into Sturts new club Barzaar when the opportunity comes up looks pretty good from the outside anyway!
