Welcome to the Bar Septimus menu, a cheese and wine bar in Adelaide’s East End at 220 Grenfell Street.
We take our name from Harold Septimus Power, one of Australia’s finest painters, and we stand in the old fruit and produce market that has anchored the East End for more than a century. We hang original artwork on these walls and treat what we pour and plate the same way: a curation of design, art, wine and fine produce, gathered with care and meant to be enjoyed together.
Below you’ll find our artisan cheese and charcuterie boards, bar food, and an extensive list of local and imported wines.
