Kings Cross Distillery reviews
4 Star Review by Jessie Schilling
Beautiful ambience, luxe decor and fine cocktails We came on a Saturday for a drink and enjoyed the extravagant chairs and outdoor dining. We didnt even need a booking! The bar menu boasts options for all tastebuds. Given the prices, I decided to try something new that I hadnt seen elsewhere. I opted for the Piscoteque cocktail, which contained Santiago Quebranta Pisco Adelaide Bitter Orange Strawberry Cordial Grapefruit, Absinthe. The prices unfortunately deterred us from grabbing a second cocktail. A happy hour special would be a nice edition! We originally wanted to come for a gin tasting, there was a flight option, but in the end we werent sold on that experience.
5 Star Review by Crystal Shin
For those that appreciate the finer things in life, this is the best bar that I have been to in Sydney. The venue is luxurious, clean and gorgeous. They have very premium products and something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and special. Great place for any day of the week to have a drink on your own or with a group of friends. I have to also mention that the food offerings for a bar are beyond 5 star. Their spirits made in house are ultra-premium and you will notice the difference when you try.
5 Star Review by James Toepfer
We just had a few drinks and anti pasto plate at the distillery. It was a fabulous experience. Service is really friendly and welcoming. We also had a tour of the distillery tasting their Gins. We can recommend their Garden Island!
5 Star Review by Keegan Thomson
Fantastic little place! Warm, comfy, inviting with an extensive list of curated drinks and unique bar eats. Sit outside and youll watch the word go by while sipping on a negroni made from locally sourced ingredients. Well worth a visit!
5 Star Review by Ipek Yay
From the moment you walk into the establishment, youre greeted with 5 star service. The elegant and rustic decor have a certain melancholic charm that are reminiscent of the glory days of Kings Cross. This venue is really transcendent and captures the essence of that time. Definitely one of my new favourite places to frequent. Highly recommend if youre looking for a tipple or if youre a discerning drink enthusiast in pursuit of a high-end bar/restaurant. Oh and as for the gin the product will speak for itself.

5 Star Review by Lachlan Wark
Celebrated my brithday at the KXD and the team there couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating as we partied into the night. If you can, do the Gin Tasting -- amazing product and the story behind it and what the local owners have managed to achieve in such a short time frame is inspiring. Cocktails were awesome too, particularly the Blanconi. Thanks KXD!
