Coming Soon to SkyCity Adelaide

Take a glimpse at our newly-unveiled plans for four new restaurants and two new bars with Sol Bar and Restaurant being the jewel in the crown.

Sol is a revolutionary take on a rooftop bar and restaurant for South Australia. At Sol, the Latin term for sun, guests will be treated to breakfast views of the sun rising over the Adelaide Hills, and then dazzled as it sets over the coast. Sol Bar and Restaurant will offer an unforgettable dining experience from breakfast through to dinner.

Opening alongside Sol Bar and Restaurant will be Huami, ITL, Lucky Noodle and Westward in the coming months, with dining ranging from high-end Chinese, to family-friendly modern Italian cuisine. All of these new venues will have access to our forthcoming 7,500 bottle master cellar, boasting a focus on South Australian wines.

Venues coming soon:

Perched atop the SkyCity expansion and Eos Hotel, Sôl Bar and Restaurant offers modern Australian cuisine and a rooftop bar, with unrivalled views of the Adelaide Hills, River Torrens, Adelaide Oval and coastline.

Locally sourced artisanal produce features prominently in the a la carte menu, complemented by an extensive wine and cocktail list.

Opening 28 November 2020. For bookings follow the link below.

Huami unashamedly aims to deliver Adelaide’s finest Chinese restaurant, where authentic Chinese is delivered with opulence, taking diners on a contemporary journey through Southern China.

In addition to the intimate dining restaurant, Huami will offer three private dining rooms and showcase a 1,200 bottle wine wall. Opening March 2021.

iTL’s modern kitchen embraces family-friendly Italian dining, featuring two large wood-fired pizza ovens, freshly made pasta and gelati.

Adjoining the Festival Plaza public realm, iTL will be a high energy attraction for customers on the way to or from the Adelaide Oval and Festival Theatre.

Opening 28 November 2020. For bookings follow the link below.

Lucky Noodle, located on the main gaming floor of the expansion, will serve fast and fresh Southeast Asian food, delivering speedy dining, without compromising on quality.

Skycity Darwin history

As we mentioned at the start of the article, Skycity Darwin has had plenty of names since it was first established in 1983. Then is was known as the Mindil Beach casino, but in 1984 the NT government acquired it, as well as the Alice Springs Casino, and this saw the name change to the Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino. This name remained the same for 10 years.

In 1995, MGM Grand acquired the casino complex and it was renamed to MGM Grand Darwin, which stuck for almost another decade. Finally, in 2004 the Skycity Entertainment Group purchased and renamed the complex to its current name, Skycity Darwin Casino.
