Adelaide, get ready to be transported to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. Bar 1854, a late-night cocktail and whisky bar from Duxton Pubs, is set to open its doors on Friday, November 22nd. This intimate speakeasy-style haven, nestled above The Cremorne Hotel, promises an experience unlike anything else in the city.
Drawing inspiration from the chic cocktail lounges of Paris and the intimate late-night bars of Tokyo, Bar 1854 is a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life. With a capacity of just 30, the dimly lit space exudes an air of exclusivity and old-world charm, creating the perfect setting for an indulgent escape.
Host and Venue Manager Grace Kelliher is at the helm, ensuring impeccable service and a personalised experience for every guest. “Bar 1854 is a unique blend of international influences, tailored specifically for Adelaide,” says Kelliher. “It’s a place to unwind, enjoy exceptional drinks, and revel in a curated atmosphere.”
The drinks menu is a testament to the bar’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Beverage Director Rashesh Shrestha has curated a selection of signature cocktails that are sure to tantalise the taste buds. Whisky aficionados will be delighted by the rare Japanese whiskies on offer, while those seeking a touch of luxury can indulge in vintage Champagnes. And for martini lovers, Grace herself will be making the rounds with a martini tray, offering tableside service with a touch of classic charm.
Executive Chef Brendan Boothroyd has created a menu of delectable small plates designed to complement the exquisite drinks. From Coffin Bay oysters and Kaviari Caviar Oscietra Prestige to brie and kimchi toasties, there’s something to satisfy every late-night craving.
The interior of Bar 1854 is as captivating as its offerings. Designed by Duxton’s in-house designer Zoe Hilton, the space is an elegant blend of styles. Custom wallpaper from London’s House of Hackney adorns the walls, while furniture and artwork from Australian artist Tan Arlidge and French artist Guillaume Chiron add a touch of sophistication and playfulness.
Bar 1854 offers a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and step into a world of refined indulgence. Whether you’re seeking a pre-dinner aperitivo, a late-night cocktail, or a sophisticated setting to enjoy fine spirits and conversation, Bar 1854 is the place to be.
