Is there anything better than mimosa's and bloody mary's at brunch? I'm so glad I was told about this place (which used to be Jekyll and Hyde) because when one has to celebrate a birthday you should definitely do it with a mimosa in your hand. Although due to the fact that some antibiotics are not allowed to be mixed with alcohol I had to be content to drink my virgin mimosa (orange juice which the wonderful staff put in a champagne glass for me!) For a busy Sunday morning the staff were all too happy to reserve a large table for me and my friends and let us sit there well after we finished eating and drinking (and let us bring our own cake as well). Blood Mary's has a great all day breakfast menu which is just different enough to other places for the food to be really interesting. I had the Bloody Mary's Breakfast which was toast with avocado, ricotta and tomatoes with extra bacon of course! Delicious! The serving sizes are huge! The ricotta pancakes also looked amazing as did the Hangover Cure which is a fancier version of a big breakfast you'd find at other cafes (fancy because they use chorizo). The only disappointing dish was the chicken finger sandwiches which one of my party said were a bit bland. What you really want to come here for is the bloody mary's themselves. If you're a fan they have their own menu or you can stick to various other cocktails or wines. They even let you come up to the bar and create your own mix if you want!! The cafe itself is bright and trendy and there's a great outdoor courtyard area for a sunny summer morning/afternoon. The staff are friendly and attentive and go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome in the cafe!

This is called a "bloody hell"... it was just as bloody amazing as it looks, too!

So literally EVERYBODY in Sydney is talking about the crazy, over-the-top bloody marys at Bloody Mary's... and guess what? They're bloody amazing! My bloody mary was perfectly tangy, spicy and awesome in every way. The mini burger and wing were nice too. A word of warning, Bloody Mary's shuts down its kitchen at about 1pm and then they re-open at about 3pm, my friend really talked up their breakfast and that's what she wanted (she says its great), but they had just shut the kitchen for the afternoon. Not a complaint, just something to keep in mind. She did say their coffee is awful, but I guess most people come here for bloody mary's and burgers and what not, so it is what it is. I love the decor! Very cute, whimsical Americana-styling.

Super cute cafe, lovely service, yummy food - absolutely delightful! We chose to sit at the front of the cafe on the super comfy lounge setting and I got to chill out with my legs crossed under me and devour my feed. Fiancé went to hangover cure - highly recommend! (The sausage is delish!) I couldn't decide between the PB & J toastie and the salmon bagel so I had both, both awesome. The coffee is good, there's some interesting people watching, all round, I'm a fan.

Terrace of the restaurant

Terrible The restaurant looked lovely for a morning brunch. We sat down outside and ordered two cokes with burgers. The coke was one of these fake syrup ones. The burger took ages to arrive and I remember telling my boyfriend "we should have gone to Mac Donald's" Tons of ketchup and mayo inside the burger, too sweet. Not what you expect from a burger in a proper restaurant. Tasteless.

Smoked salmon with poached egg, avo and sourdough toast
Mailys P.

I walk past the bloody Mary's everyday and have always wanted to try it. The vibe is great - nice music playing, comfy seats, backyard or indoor... I got the smoked salmon with poached eggs, avo and sourdough toast. The serving was large - avo just ripe, toasts with a little butter, seasoned tomatoes. The salmon was maybe a little too salty for my taste and 1 egg slightly overcooked. The orange juice is delicious. But I will come back to try something different - maybe in the evening for a drink with a snack. The staff is very nice and effective.

And Boom goes the Dynamite!! This place is amazing, staff so friendly and bloody Mary's for days. If you can't find what you like the menu, you can literally make your own. And a must have would be the oyster shots. From San Francisco on vacation. These Bloody Mary's and food are fantastic.

The bacon and egg roll with a mimosa. Perfect for a hangover on a Tuesday.
Wayde M.

Exceptional American style breakfast. Finding a mimosa in Oz is not the easiest thing but this place kills it. Then the bacon and egg roll blew my expectations out of the water. So loaded with bacon I thought I was in heaven. I have not had a breakfast this good in my 3 months of traveling Australia. The service was exceptionally friendly and fast.

Pancakes!
Abhi U.

Interesting vibe here. I went here around 10:30 for a brunch and it was busy but not too crowded. Nicely decorated and there was even a DJ mixing some tunes! I ordered the pancakes and added chocolate chips (for a $1). So worth it! They gave me a stack of four, very fluffy pancakes. It was really good and I couldn't even finish it all. My friend ordered the bacon and egg roll and found it to be really good but very heavy. The restaurant is mostly inside with 3 or 4 tables outside under the awning.

Lobster roll.
Kirsten M.

Ambiance is beautiful, but a tad bit overpriced. I'm American, so I may be biased. The portion size for the lobster roll was too small for $22. All bread and barely any lobster. The service was also just okay and they seemed a bit stuck up. I was sitting for nearly 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. There are tons of other options in this area!

I probably have been to this place a few times, namely because it happens to be a bar on Kings…read moreCross, and sadly, and I found myself wandering around there on occasion. Well, this bar is pretty tacky, and it certainly isn't anything that I would want to return to. The beer selection is pretty limited, and the bar itself is, well, not sleazy, but it certainly isn't all that great. Yeah, there really isn't anything that would attract me to this place.

After a long 14-hour flight from California I arrived in Sydney at 7:30am on a Sunday morning. My…read moreGF and I had hotel reservations in King's Cross and her flight had been cancelled and rescheduled for the next day, so I made my way out to KC to get the hotel check-in done. I arrived around 10am; check-in time at our hotel was noon so I had a couple of hours to kill. The hotel stored my luggage for me and I set out on a leisurely Sunday morning exploration of King's Cross. After a bit of seriously jet-lagged, zoned-out strolling I noticed on a corner an enclosed patio area open to the street, empty but beckoning. It was attached to the Empire Hotel, an historic-looking building with a very cool art-deco facade. I crossed the street and walked in and met bartender Albert, who kindly sat me down and gave me a sample tour of all the Australian beers the Empire had on tap. All were fantastic; Australia is a kind of beer paradise if you're a golden lager fan like me. I made my choice and retired to the patio with my pint to relax and soak up the vibe of Sunday morning King's Cross street life. Over the next couple of hours (and pints) I met several colorful characters on the patio, notably well-dressed long-time KC local Tim, who was in the Australian Army and was preparing to deploy back to Afghanistan in a couple of days. Tim filled me in on the history of King's Cross, which has through the decades been Sydney's bohemian zone, red-light district, gay-pride zone, and seedy all-night party bar destination. It was easy to see "The Cross" as it's called was currently in transition, undergoing a steady gentrification as befits its gorgeous physical setting amid historic architecture and streets lined with mature shade trees. Around noon I made my way back to our hotel to secure our room and a well-deserved nap, happy to have been so well-received by the friendly Australians at the Empire Hotel and looking forward to our Sydney adventure that was soon to begin.

Let me tell you upfront: There is no elevator. You will have to climb up all those stairs. I huffed…read moreand puffed my way up there and it was a mad house once I arrived. Seems to be a popular place. Several parties were going on, seemed like a bachelorette party, a birthday, a group of folks all dressed in pink and another group dressed like flappers. It was extremely loud and unfortunately I was not able to make my way to an area where I could have checked out the view. It is semi covered by a roof and then there is an open air area, but the are large umbrellas you can hide under. I had a nice little drink and enjoyed the people watching. They have quite a drink menu and also offer some food, but that is rather limited. Just come up here for the drinks and the party atmosphere. I have to say that the bartenders are very nice.

The staircase had a few more steps than I had thought but since the walls were covered with a rather nifty form of graffiti art sort of fun. Overall I found the seating and general atmosphere of being up on the roof top extremely pleasant and sort of a welcome relief from being on street level. The general set up with bar and food service is really good, orderly, neat, clean, trendy and fun. For food, I went for the for their Wagyu flat iron steak. Though listed on their menu as barbecue it actually came grilled, but that might be because Australians, as is the much the same situation in the United States north of the Mason Dixon line, are oblivious to the differences between "barbecuing" and "grilling." Hence when Australians say they are going to "toss whatever on the barbie," they actually mean they are going to toss it upon an open grill. Nevertheless, the steak was really good, served with a nice side salad. My dining companion, Yelper Jim D., ordered the salmon skewers which were likewise perfectly grilled, served with a side of greens and topped with a sprig of fresh dill in what was not only delicious but eye appealing. Because of the good food, reasonable prices and nifty rooftop location, I haven't any hesitation in being a fan of Sweetheart's or of recommending it.

This is a joint where $10 gets you 3 live bands…read more That's, like, three bucks a band. Is that even legal? How are these kids making money? Financial concerns aside, what an ass-kicking deal. Combine that with a super intimate venue and cheap drinks and why would you not come here, eh? The bartender was having an off night when I went - lost his bottle opener, had to run downstairs to find a new one, and couldn't find a light beer (I was driving, awright) on the register and asked "How does $5.20 sound?" Good question. Caught me out. Should have gone for some happy bartering but didn't think quickly enough. But hells, this is run by community radio station FBI and I saw 2 hrs of cracking tunes, what's a couple bucks between friends. Plus he was super nice about it in a Fawlty Towers kinda way.

If I'm honest, I secretly want Sydney to be filled with divey-style bars like this level of the Kings Cross Hotel... I'm a sucker for dim lighting, cheap drinks and good tunes... throw in a few tall men in shirts and tight jeans and my little heart is content. The music can be hit and miss (as it should be) and occasionally the painfully-hipster:regular-person ratio is too heavy on the hipster... but if you're happy to chill out, go with the flow and get your indie on, you'll have a fun night here.

5 stars on the view and atmosphere of this restaurant. However I have had a few issues here…read more The first time me and my friend came across it it was a week night and we had not made a booking. However a seat was found for us and although it was not next to the window overlooking the harbour, those were booked, it was totally understandable and our spot was still nice. We ordered a paella for two which was large and very nice and high quality. We also ordered cocktails which were very nice and of the average, expensive cocktail price. They were presented nicely and seemed quite strong which I like; money's worth. We ordered a dessert which was delicious and plated very well. As it's such an expensive restaurant the desserts seem to be all small but very rich. Upon such a good meal I booked again for a future date. A week prior to the event I rang up to confirm my reservation next to the window. After a long long phone call and an employee raising their voice to the fact that someone had already reserved the table and trying to secure me a different spot, we came to the agreement someone had spelt my name wrong on the reservation sheet. Expecting this to be fixed, I showed up to The Deck early to my booking so I enjoyed a few cocktails at the bar. Me and my friend made our way to dinner only to be told the table was reserved by someone else. The worker did not speak perfect English and had some difficulty pronouncing my name thus thinking the one on the sheet was different. It took a long time to settle the problem, she left for a period of time and came back and eventually I was able to show her that it was my name spelt slightly wrong. We sat down half an hour late to dinner and I was pretty annoyed but I still got my seat so it was okay. We were first waited on by a young woman on what seemed to be her first shift so I didn't mind that she was a little slow to use her equipment and needed assistance. However the main waiter we had seemed slightly rude and bored. He treated an elder couple next to us very well and spoke to them politely and made general conversation with them. However me and my friend are both only 18 and while we were polite and respectable he treated us in a complete different matter, with a monotone voice and not looking up from recording our stuff. For such a nice place I expected better and equal service. We had to get up and walk to the bar to ask for second servings of wine as no one came to serve us. The food was very nice quality though, we were both satisfied and too full for any dessert. The menu is very minimal and it was going through go changes when we came so only a few selections were available. While on the costly side it's a nice place to treat yourself.

Whilst located just inside the entrance of Lunar Park, it has a strict adults only policy so is a lovely spot to escape the noise and hustle of the Park. We stumbled upon it by accident and now go back on a regular basis. Have yet to eat in the restaurant because the bar has a good selection of snacks to share at reasonably prices. My favourites are the Tapas plate and pulled pork sandwich.
