About Rascals Deli & Wine Bar

Tucked just off Rundle Street, this moody daytime deli flips into an eclectic evening bar fueled by share plates and deep wine racks. Daytime calls for colossal cut-in-half sandwiches like the mortadella or Italian in plant-flanked courtyard booths. By night, candle wax drips across candelabras as owner-bartender Ryan pours bottles from a broad list and shakes cocktails finished with signature dried and candied fruits. Plates move steadily from arancini and fried chicken to warm baked Camembert drizzled with house chilli honey.

  • Deli Counter to Evening Bar: Hefty Italian and mortadella sandwiches served in booth seating under fairy lights transition smoothly to night service.
  • Owner-Led Drinks Program: Cocktails garnished with candied fruit poured alongside a deep cellar curated directly by owner Ryan.
