The Cross

The look: European Café chic. The Terrace has trademark awnings and the bar’s decorated with sentimental photos of Kings Cross. The club features cutting edge lighting, sound equipment and a dance floor. This newly renovated venue holds up to 500 guests.
The soundtrack: Fridays, there’s cutting edge DJs and Saturday nights boast some of Sydney’s finest new wave and electro DJs in The Cross Club Bar.
Signature drink: A smoothly tart glass of ‘Hudson’s Love’ ($17); with eight essential ingredients such as passionfruit, Hudson’s Cane, Ginger Beer and Honey Liquor.
The wow factor: The post-card view from the verandah in this glamorous yet gritty Kings Cross location.
Bar bites: Award winning Chef Colin Holt has designed an exquisite canapé menu. Try the Mixed Antipasto Share Plate: char grilled vegetables served with toasted ciabatta ($18). Or devour the Cheese Plate ($18) with quince paste, fruit and lavoche.
Best for: An after work cocktail with friendly colleagues or late night dancing with disco divas.
If this bar were an animal it would be: A White Bengal tiger – rare and sexy.
