If you're on your way to Gather Round, or already in Adelaide, this is a quick guide of where to go away from the footy.

From a Malaysian surprise to one of the best pubs in Australia (seriously), Adelaide has a lot to offer.

As a travelling journo for cricket and footy, there was always time to sample it.

Hopefully you can squeeze in some of these seven gems.

2Union Hotel

On Waymouth St, just up the road from the Adelaide Advertiser.

If you want a break from the big screen footy vibe and a gastro pub feel, this is the place for you.

Not a bad option for lone travellers. Long bar, where you can sit and eat.
