The 2KW Bar is located right on top of an eight-storied historic building. What you will be greeted with is a breathtaking view of the River Torrens, the Adelaide Hills and beyond. The Government House and the Adelaide Oval, the sports stadium, are some of the other places you can spot from above. In this stylish rooftop bar, you can taste some exquisite wine that was made locally. Some of them are exclusive to this rooftop bar and are served directly from the wine barrel. The featured drink here is definitely the cocktail that is made from gin, pear and peach juice. Head towards the King William Street and North Terrace at the Adelaide City Centre, to locate the bar.
