About 2KW Bar & Restaurant

2KW may boast one of the best vantage points in town, set high upon Adelaide’s skyline, but its charm lies in the people who work there, the dynamic wine-focused program and the delicious menu designed for sharing. It has a sense of community about it, where drinks on the terrace with friends over long afternoons morph into modish dinners by night in the restaurant.

A 68-page-strong beverage list is the backdrop to anyone’s experience here, thoughtfully compiled by 2KW’s long-standing and characterful Head Sommelier, Dan McEvoy.

Dan’s dream is to “create a beguiling page turner, with a chapter, a page and a paragraph that can resonate with every reader.” Indeed it does. Wine by the glass is a particular highlight with a diversity of local but also a cellar selection of reds and whites from Tuscany, Alsace, California and Burgundy.

By the bottle, the restaurant’s “heroes of wine” bring together some of South Australia’s iconic producers as well as “good mates” and “local champions,” featuring some little-known but exceptional producers that you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are highlights with more than 100 bottles to select from of both, split between Australia’s best cool climate sites and New Zealand, as well as Burgundy.

If something more celebratory – or refreshing – is on your mind, cast your eye to the Champagne list, which is particularly good. Organised by region and then by style, you’ll find a fair balance between maisons and growers. There are even rare finds, like Salon. Whilst 2KW offers a serious list, you won’t be at all intimidated.
