The Black Ruby Rooftop

For the month of July, 2KW Bar and Restaurant invites guests to The Black Ruby Rooftop, a new immersive hospitality experience. Perched above North Terrace, the activation transforms the iconic venue into a glowing hub of light, flavour, and sound, timed for Illuminate Adelaide.

General manager Simon Adami says “you’ll see the city in a new light, literally and figuratively”.

“This is everything people love about 2KW, brought to life in an experience we’ve never before created,” he says. 

The terrace is reimagined as a sensory playground with curated light and sound, while the styling fuses luxe comfort with high bars, soft lounges, faux furs, and blankets. Executive chef Sam Christopher has crafted a supper menu of winter warmers, including a Moreton Bay bug roll and Korean style chicken wings.

The bar team has created an exclusive line-up of cocktails featuring Johnnie Walker Black Ruby Whisky, including the ‘Sesame Sour’ and a rich twist on the classic negroni called ‘The Night Sakura’. The rooftop is walk-in only, with DJs playing from Friday to Sunday from 5:00pm.
