    Located in the heart of Adelaide's premier dining precinct, Universal Wine Bar has a worldwide reputation. The bar / restaurant is well established and renowned for its selection of over 300 wines from around the world.

    Vito Romano an honoured custodian and his management team offer the patrons a definitive selection of Australia and International wines with exceptional value and an outstanding selection by the glass. Continually changing our lists with new vintages and varietals to tempt and tease your palate. These lists focus on wines we enjoy ourselves.

    The bar/restaurant was originally founded by Australia's first Master of Wine, Michael Hill-Smith, in 1991, and has been catering to the fine food and wine connoisseur ever since.The original ideals have been updated by Vito. We now also include a full bar of almost any beverage discerning taste buds would desire.

    Late into the evening the Universal Wine Bar turns into a fabulous night spot with cool jazz tunes, the perfect night out, whatever the occasion. So relax, kick back and enjoy the finest wines, champagne, sparkling, cognac or scotch we have to offer.

    Excellent and very attentive service, the staff were fabulous. We only had tapas, but they were delightful. As should be expected, great wine list. Will definitely return.

    Chefs

    Warwick Robinson - Head Chef Warwick Robinson utilises locally and organically grown produce to create sumptuous menus to tempt and inspire even the fussiest of taste buds. Vito and Warwick hand-pick all of our seafood, which is South Australian caught daily. Vito takes special care in passing his family secrets of Italian cuisine on to Rick, where he brings new life to these traditional dishes. So settle in for lunch or dinner, inside, at the bar or at a sidewalk table. The only better place you could be on a sunny day is an "al fresco" cafe in Italy. “We choose the finest quality Australian ingredients and infuse these ingredients with our Italian heritage by keeping the dishes, simple and fresh, so that the produce shines through”. Great wine and fine foods merge effortlessly at Universal Wine Bar.
