Kittyhawk

The verdict

From the guys who brought you Sydney bar, Lobo Plantation, comes Kittyhawk – a bar and restaurant in Phillip Lane in the CBD. 

You’ll be transported to Paris circa 1944 at this Sydney bar with the vibe carried through from interior, to the food on offer and most importantly, the cocktail list.

The food menu here is the delicious creation of Jason Wright, the man behind STEAK Restaurant and P1 Edinburgh, and gives Sydneysiders the chance to dine on Parisian street food with a twist. We’re talking tasty bites like mussels vol au vent, Scotch eggs with smoked aioli and steak Swiss with everyone’s favourite hero of the moment, truffle mayo.

With a bar that boasts over 900 spirits, you may be here a while, and where rum and rye whisky are the definite heroes, this cool AF place is perfect for your next date night, bar crawl or both.

If you're a jazz fiend, head here on Saturdays (after 8pm) to pair your (quite honestly) freaking delicious cocktails with a side of class. They're attracting some of the best local jazz musicians like The Corridors, Kate Wadey and Adam Pringle. You're already planning Saturday night, aren't you?
