Overview
While Arkhé is known for redefining open-flame dining in Adelaide, its bar program is equally worthy of attention — offering a high-end yet accessible experience for cocktail connoisseurs, wine lovers, and casual visitors alike.
Tucked inside the moody, architecturally striking venue on The Parade, the bar seamlessly integrates with the dining room but maintains a personality all its own. Polished concrete, exposed brick, and flickering firelight set the tone, while a curated playlist and subtle buzz of conversation build an atmosphere that’s intimate yet electric.
The cocktail menu is driven by the same seasonal philosophy that informs the kitchen. Expect elegant twists on classics, original concoctions using fresh herbs, smoke-infused elements, and top-shelf spirits. House favourites often play with earthy or fire-driven flavours to echo the venue’s culinary DNA — whether it’s a charred citrus Negroni or a whiskey sour enriched with smoked honey.
The wine list is extensive and global, with a strong focus on South Australian producers as well as minimal-intervention wines from Australia and abroad. Wines are handpicked to pair with the kitchen’s bold flavours but are equally enjoyable on their own at the bar. A small but thoughtful range of craft beers, digestifs, and alcohol-free options round out the menu.
Whether you’re stopping in for a pre-dinner drink, settling into the bar for the night, or finishing a meal with a well-made nightcap, the bar at Arkhé invites you to savour world-class hospitality — glass by glass.
