Kings Cross Distillery

Second visit. Food good & gins good but ambience awful. Mostly couples present so why would you want loud music and 2 cabaret girls for entertainment ? has lost it for me and won’t be back.

Fabulous cocktails, friendly service and a quirky location. Can't wait to go back

The Manager spent time explaining the Gin to us. He suggested some foods options. The food was tapas style and beautifully presented and delicious. The Gin was exceptional. Staff were very attentive.

Amazing location! Great experience!

Fun place, upmarket for Lankelly (cutlery, dishes, tabletops). Good premise with the gin, which was delicious. Only downside was slow service, even for drinks. Would go again.

Food was underwhelming, needed seasoning and could be plated better. G&T’s were good but the cocktails quite diluted.

Very good small restaurant with excellent foods and services. We enjoyed the food recommended to us. Hummus, charcuterie board, garlic prawn, lamb cutlet and drunken figs are all very good. Highly recommend.

Great service and great food! Love the vibes

Delicious as always.Hoping to see more grilled items on the menu soon.

This was the worst dining experience that I’ve ever had in my life. I booked this 50%off of food special offer without realizing this was a drinking bar. After we had ordered food, the waiter told us that we had to order at least one alcohol drink to be eligible for half price dining. I told him that I am allergic to alcohol and my husband was driving so we were not going to drink but the waiter kept on going. I asked him where did indicate on the fork that we had to order a drink and he could not answer it. He said he would have to check with his boss. Few minutes later, a man who called himself as the manager of the bar brought two bottles of gin and started his speech about them. I was busy with my kids and I wasn’t interested in alcohol anyway so I was not listening. The manager got angry with me and asked me to show respect. I said I was allergic to alcohol and I never drank so there was no point for me to listen. He became very rude and told me that he would ask me to leave the restaurant because I was not listening. I got very upset. I had to tell him that it was him who did not show respect to customer, I am a cancer patient who was not supposed to drink plus I am allergic to alcohol. I have no obligation to listen to your rubbish about alcohol. Finally he stopped talking about it. I knew they would be tricky about the food. First of all, the waiter told us that the prawns dish we ordered was running out, then by the time we finished all other dishes they had not even started to cook our lamb chops because they would not have made much money for the dish. At last, when we got the bill, the waiter gave me a full price bill to test me . After I questioned the discount, he brought a different bill which was 50% off food but plus 10% surcharge. I asked him where it said about the surcharge, he said that they always charge surcharge but he didn’t know where it indicate the surcharge. Eventually we paid the surcharge because I really had enough. If you or everyone has patience to read my review then you should know what to do. I am sure.

Unfortunately we had bad service, service was not good, had to ask for water 3 times, music inside was so loud we couldn’t hear each other. Outside looked cute and had more ambiance

Food portion was small but quality was amazing. So fresh and full of flavour. We had a small section to ourselves which was really nice.

Really cute venue, with comfy seating and nice decor. Due to the rain, everyone was seated inside which felt a bit crowded (the large back dining room seemed not to be in use). Food portions were smaller but delicious - we paired our mains with the fattoush salad and the potatoes which were delicious. The staff were helpful and friendly.

The venue is great, the food was ok. We had the 50% off offer and at that price I thought the food was good value, if we had paid full price I would not have felt as great. The minute steak was lovely, but completely cold (not sure if it was meant to be served cold or not) the antipasto was bland, the falafel was dry, like little bullets and at $5 each I would expect more. In summary not great but certainly not terrible.

Food was slow. Then arrived cold (?) with one main arriving 20 minutes before the other. Which was then cold too. Weird! Good music and ambience etc

A gem of a place, tucked away near kings cross, which has a cool vibe, and lovely ambience. We booked through the Fork’s 50% offer but we would be happy to pay full price - the ceviche was a standout dish, but everything we tried was good. The gin maker was on hand to chat through their distilling process and both gins we tried were lovely. We will definitely be back.

Extremely tasty and unique food creations! Blew our taste buds away! Location is a busy little side ally with plenty going on. Restaurant itself is quirky and cool.

Really good food !!

Food and ambience was nice. Service slow. Took about 40 minutes for any food to come out...

Elegant decor with a casual atmosphere and a nice outdoor area. Lovely food with friendly and helpful service. A most enjoyable evening in a quiet lane.
