Good Gilbert

Goodwood Road’s buzzy darling—a fiercely beloved wine bar where serious drops meet seriously good plates. Adelaide's thirsty crowds flock to the 5034 postcode for this flawlessly curated cellar and craft cocktails, poured by bartenders who truly understand their terroir. Grab a stool inside the cozy, dog-friendly room—yes, they hand out treats to your four-legged mates—or claim a spot outside. The kitchen flexes hard with clever, produce-driven snacks and hearty mains. Think pristine tuna crudo cut with chili and caramelized orange. A beef tartare enriched by black garlic aioli and cured egg yolk that has the local dining set absolutely buzzing. Thursday nights bring rotating winemaker dinners—pure joie de vivre—pairing premium regional cuvées with plates like harissa cauliflower or crispy-shallot lamb rump. Complete with a surprisingly thoughtful zero-proof list and a lively, packed-house energy, it’s a brilliant excuse to hit the inner-south. Book ahead, order a crisp Blanc de Blancs, and settle in.
