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.

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.

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.
