Had to have the LEGO man in jelly!<br/ <br/ As mentioned by some other reviewers- it’s pretty easy to miss but worth the effort. Nice cosy bar with friendly staff. Maybe read the menu here before hand as it’s hard to get to the nitty gritty or cocktails by candle light. Or maybe I’m just getting old.<br/

And the 900 spirits behind the 12-metre long bar is definitely reason to celebrate. In addition to the central bar space, this auditorium-sized watering hole also has an elegant restaurant and a front conservatory that’s soaked in city views.<br/ <br/ By the team behind Lobo Plantation, it’s no surprise that The Kittyhawk is a military might, with plenty of winks to World War II (including a large painting of Kittyhawk fighter aircrafts embellishing the walls), a perfectly paired-back Parisian menu and cocktails that are pieces of art.<br/ <br/ What I loved about The Kittyhawk when I first uncovered this place was that the barmen were all suave in black tie above the waist but a couple of glimpses revealed they had on Billabong board shorts below the waist (it was a hot night ok). The 1950s bathrooms are also pretty cute, in a very pink kind of way.

It wasn’t too crowded (not too many people standing) when we went. However, if there were anymore patrons, the noise level would be awful. The music is quite loud for a bar, which makes conversation difficult. The lights are also really dim, so much so that we had to use our phone torches to read the menu.

We were running a bit late (thanks to the government 's M5 issue) however the staff were understanding and we still managed to take our table.<br/ <br/ It was a bit squashy, 5 people sitting on two small round tables but honestly, we didn 't pay that much attention to it. The atmosphere is set post WW2. The staff are dressed wonderfully vintage and are all very friendly.<br/ <br/ The lights are dim but bright enough that you can see across the other side of the bar. <br/ <br/ The food was spot on delicious and the cocktails, 100% perfect. I would say, they did lack the strength of the alcohol, so I am not sure if they weren 't pouring as much that night..... but yet it was still a 'refreshing ' drink.<br/ <br/ This bar is tucked away from the hassle and bustle of the City CBD but once you step inside, it 's all great.<br/ <br/ Strongly recommend you visit this establishment if you are in the Sydney CBD. Can 't wait come here again.
