About 2KW Bar & Restaurant

Two lift rides up from King William Street, 2KW frames sweeping views out to Adelaide Oval. On the open terrace, heaters and sheepskin throws take the bite out of the breeze while DJs steer the tempo. Inside, the room pivots—low lighting, deep booths, and an intuitive hospo team that reads the table. Regulars bypass decision fatigue altogether, handing dinner over to the kitchen's 'Let Us Feed You' lineup of slow-cooked lamb shoulder and surprise off-menu desserts.

  • Rooftop Sundowners: Walk-in open-air terrace serving craft cocktails alongside panoramic skyline vistas stretching toward Adelaide Oval.
  • Intuitive Hospo: Attentive floor staff who tailor tasting courses and deliver personal celebratory touches for milestone nights.
  • 'Let Us Feed You' Menu: A multi-course chef selection spanning flatbreads, shared starters, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder.
  • All-Weather Terrace Comfort: Outdoor deck equipped with overhead heaters and sheepskin throws to keep open-air drinking comfortable year-round.

  • All-Season Winterised Comfort

    Overhead heating and plush sheepskin seating ensure the outdoor terrace remains welcoming and stylish across cooler winter evenings.

    Even on a cooler evening it was really comfortable thanks to the heaters and cosy sheepskin rugs on the chairs.

Before you head over

Practical advice on lift navigation, terrace timing, and tasting menus—check the website to explore current offerings and plan your meal.

  • Navigating the Two-Lift Arrival

    The venue entrance on King William Street requires transferring between two separate elevators to reach the 8th floor. Look for greeting staff posted downstairs who can direct you through the lift change up to the reception.

  • Timing Terrace Walk-Ins

    The outdoor terrace operates on a walk-in basis and gets busy around sunset and during DJ sets. Arrive earlier in the evening to avoid bar waits, or move outside to the heated sheepskin seating area after a seated indoor dinner.

  • Customising the 'Let Us Feed You' Menu

    If choosing the multi-course 'Let Us Feed You' or tasting menu, communicate specific dietary restrictions and meat preferences right away so service staff and the sommelier can properly tailor courses and pairings.
