Theo's is on the corner of Clarendon and Hindley Streets, Adelaide.

The West End Brewery opened in Hindley Street in 1859 as Adelaide's 14th brewery. It was established by William H Clark as a model brewery, but he was insolvent the following year, when it was bought by William Simms. The brewery was taken over by the South Australian Brewing, Malting, Wine and Spirit Company in 1888.

The brewery ceased operations in 1983, the works being consolidated with brewery operations at the Thebarton site (formerly the suburb of Southwark). The West End premises were demolished in 1983.
