The bartender got our drinks wrong twice. Also the waiting staff would literally interrupt everyone and reach their hands through to collect empty glasses. One even tapped me on my shoulder while i was talking to a friend and asked me to move so she can grab my glass! Horrible service.

The moment we walked in the door we were greeted by friendly staff who gave us a seat at the bar. It was dimly lit which added to the atmosphere and good background music so you could still chat with friends. The staff recommended the Sonic Watermelon cocktail that was delicious followed by the Polynesian Pearl Diver which was topped with a scuba diver plastic man. The place has a reasonable amount of seating with bar, tables and booth seating. I will definitely return to try the food menu.

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. 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. 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. eatplaylovetravel.com.au

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/
