A seasoned hospitality veteran is livening up Albion’s after-dark offering with a new intimate wine bar on Sandgate Road. Adela Wine Bar stocks more than 150 wines, with a sharp focus on curiosity-inducing wines that are predominantly unheralded, small-batch drops that boast a slightly challenging quality. Biodynamic and natural drops star, as do wines from Queensland makers. A short cocktail list features a range of classic sips and signature concoctions, while a few craft beers are also available. Head chef Kohel Mintz is crafting a killer offering informed by his experience working in Michelin-starred kitchens, with European-inspired options including charred beetroot with fetta, strawberry and lemon thyme, cod croquettes with aioli and lemon, lamb presse with romesco, carrot and pickles, seared barramundi with sofrito, coconut and rice.
