Tragedy Strikes at 2KW Bar as Person Falls Eight Storeys to Their Death
It's a heartbreaking and shocking moment for the Adelaide community this weekend. A tragic incident unfolded at one of the city’s most iconic rooftop venues—2KW Bar and Restaurant—when a person fell eight storeys to their death in what’s being described as a freak accident.
It happened in the heart of Adelaide’s CBD, right at the top of the heritage-listed former Bank of New South Wales building on King William Street. Around Sunday afternoon, emergency services swarmed the scene after the fatal fall. The emergency response was massive—four South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service units, two ambulances, and at least three police vehicles arrived quickly. Police immediately cordoned off the area at the busy intersection of King William Street and North Terrace to secure the site and manage the unfolding situation.

2KW Bar is well-known across the city for its vibrant atmosphere, luxurious rooftop views, and high-end food and drink. It’s a place where locals and tourists alike gather to unwind and enjoy the skyline—but today, that familiar and joyful scene has been replaced by one of sorrow and disbelief.
Details are still emerging, but authorities have confirmed they are treating the fall as a mental health-related incident. It’s a stark reminder of the silent battles people may be fighting, even in the midst of seemingly carefree environments. We often walk past people, sit near them at a bar or restaurant, without knowing the weight they carry. Moments like this bring that reality into sharp focus.
