Help me find... a rooftop bar in Adelaide
There’s something magical about the expansive views over Adelaide, and with a city full of wonderful places to share a drink, what better place than a rooftop? There are plenty of options for soaking up some sunshine or moonlight with friends—here’s a handful we’ll think you’ll like.
SOL Rooftop
This glorious terrace is the perfect spot for a drink along the riverside and taking in the sweeping views of the hills and the coast. Sol Restaurant has some of South Australia's best produce on offer, including the option of a full plant-based menu.
HENNESSY Rooftop Bar
The HENNESSY Rooftop Bar atop the 5-star Mayfair Hotel is a glass-topped, al fresco terrace that gives you the feeling you’ve stepped into a city-oasis. With a lush green vertical garden and gorgeous views of the city-skyline, it's a stylish place to unwind. Guests can look forward to a premium drink menu featuring fine champagne, house cocktails, delectable snack food options as well as DJ entertainment Friday and Saturday nights.
This spot does lean towards the high-end, so be sure you’re dressed to impress. Entrance to the bar is via the Mayfair’s lower level, Mayflower Bar.
2KW Bar & Restaurant
Located on the corner of King William and North Terrace on one of Adelaide’s most iconic buildings, 2KW offers breathtaking views across the River Torrens to the Adelaide Oval and beyond. Choose from a variety of areas to relax, each with their own vibe. Enjoy a bite to eat or a cocktail while you chill out to the sound of the DJ.
The Gallery
The original rooftop bar in Adelaide, The Gallery is spread over two levels, filled with amazing art. Located on corporate Waymouth Street, it’s a great place to loosen your tie and start your night after a hard day’s work.
The Strathmore
Head to The Strathmore's all-weather Verandah Bar where you can sip on a cheeky cocktail while enjoying the sweeping views and all the sights and sounds of Adelaide's leafy cultural boulevard, North Terrace.
Offering a bar and dining area, the Verandah Bar's retractable roof means you can enjoy the best of Adelaide's sunshine filled days or be comfortable when the skies go gray! Grab a cocktail or just your favourite beer on tap. Their indoor lounge is the haven getaway. Sample their bar snack menu when you are not in the mood for that full meal.
Proof Wine Bar
Another gem of a bar tucked away down a laneway is specialty wine bar, Proof. With an unpretentious attitude, yet sleek style, this bar features an intimate upstairs terrace that fits just nicely between the high-rise buildings. The garden-like terrace is perfect for sitting outdoors for a lazy weekend catch up, a pre-dinner bevvie or a quick after-work drink any night of the week.
The menu offers some great bar snacks and gourmet toasties (think truffled mushroom & gruyere), and thanks to their sister restaurant press* now also extends to more substantial dishes such as sashimi, pasta and burgers.
Merrymaker Rooftop Bar
Located a hop, skip and a jump from Adelaide Central Market, you can enjoy this gorgeous rooftop bar (atop Hotel Indigo) while enjoying creative cocktails and rustic, home-style Modern Australian food.
