Tilley & Wills Hotels is one of Australia's most exciting independent hospitality groups — home to award-winning pubs, bars, restaurants, and event precincts across NSW and South Australia. Founded by Simon Tilley and Nick Wills in 2016, the group has built a reputation for reinventing some of the country's most iconic venues and creating experiences that go well beyond the ordinary.

Now, Tilley & Wills has arrived in Kent Town — and we're doing what we do best. We've taken over the venue and we're bringing everything with us: our award-winning food philosophy, our obsession with guest experience, our high-energy team culture, and our unwavering belief that good enough is never positive enough. Kent Town is about to get a serious upgrade — and we want you to be part of it from day one.
