Bar Sofia
Adelaide CBD, Adelaide
Bar in Adelaide, Australia
Why go
Bar Sofia is worth choosing for a flexible late-night drink or a larger private dining event, not for a tightly scripted dinner. Its strongest use is after Sofia Bistro or another Hutt Street meal, when cocktails and atmosphere matter more than a fixed menu. Smaller groups should treat it as a bar; groups of 20 or more get the more distinctive private dining proposition.
