About Bar 1854

Tucked into Unley Road, Bar 1854 delivers a focused drink program centered on wood-aged spirits and sharp technique. Regulars point to the barrel-aged Negroni—poured rich and balanced over ice—as the main draw for a quick pre-dinner stop. Behind the wood, the bartenders steer the room with tailored pours, shaking down crisp dirty martinis and pouring through an extensive whisky collection.

  • Barrel-aged Negroni: Oak maturation gives this signature cocktail a deep, rounded profile that draws repeat orders.
  • Personalized Bartender Service: Bartenders guide guests toward custom spirits, curated whiskies, and tailored classics like the dirty martini.
