Why you'll love Kittyhawk

  • World War II Paris venue design
  • Mechanic manual-esque menus to the deep green and brass colour scheme
  • High volume cocktail bar with a high quality contemporary French restaurant menu

Walk through Kittyhawk’s winding entry corridor and be transported to Paris on August 25, 1944. WWII is over. It’s Liberation Day! And what a party that would have been. Named after the WWII fighter jets of the same name, at Kittyhawk, no detail is spared. From mechanic manual-esque menus to the deep green and brass colour scheme, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time (in the best way possible).

Kittyhawk is a high-volume cocktail bar with a high-quality contemporary French restaurant menu. From graze-able cheese plates and charcuterie boards to steak-frites, there’s something to satisfy any hunger. A canapé menu is also available for functions.

There are a number of function spaces available. The Conservatory is a sun-filled room at the front of the venue – easily customised for seated or cocktail affairs. It’s semi-private and conveniently located right next to the bar, so you can quickly replenish your cocktail and get back to lazing by the French windows (which can be opened to let in the breeze). This space works well for mingling events, such as birthdays, engagements, networking functions and Christmas and EOFY parties. For those seeking a more secluded space, The Officers' Mess is a totally exclusive room, accessible by your own private lift. You’ll have your own bar, bartender and wait staff (if required) and the room is yours to decorate and customise as you please. You can move the furniture around, or remove it completely and hire on your own. It’s your space - make it work for you! The Officers' Mess is a very versatile space that suits a variety of functions from birthdays and engagements to corporate parties and team bonding sessions and even banquet dinners. You name it, it would probably work! The entire Kittyhawk venue can also be hired out and, if you combine this with The Officers' Mess, you have a capacity of 350 across two levels.

Kittyhawk is tucked away in the courtyard of the Aurora Place building, across the road from Chifley Tower. It is conveniently located close to many of Sydney CBD’s most popular destinations and both Martin Place and Circular Quay train stations are within walking distance. Although, if you don’t feel up to the stroll, there’s a taxi rank right outside on Bent Street.

Kittyhawk hosted our wedding ceremony and reception. Our ceremony was held in the Conservatory and we headed upstairs to The Officer's Mess for the reception. We had a fantastic time working with Fiona and her amazing events team who guided us through all the details and timings for the big day. Their attention to detail made the lead up to the wedding stress-free. We really enjoyed our time with our bartender to create special cocktails for our wedding and the Kittyhawk team were so accommodating with the menu, dietary requirements and keeping our guests. All of our guests were impressed with the care and thoughtfulness of the Kittyhawk team. Everybody went above and beyond what we had expected.

We cannot recommend KittyHawk and the team there enough! We had our wedding ceremony and reception, and everything was so well done. The staff were friendly and service was exceptional. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were a big hit. A massive thanks to Fiona the events manager who was so easy to work with and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. We will definitely be coming back soon to relive the moment!

came during the $30 Tuesday steaks and it wasn’t too busy, but recommend to book anyway. We started of with the oysters which were very creamy and the mignonette went super well with it! The salmon tartare was nice and refreshing. It had a lot of different textures from the harder asparagus and the softer salmon, and the yuzu gave it a nice citrus touch. The baked scallops were my favourite of the night! The orange miso sauce was sooo good!!!. The lamb croquettes were okay, I think the sauce and cheese carried the dish. The olive taste in the wagyu carpaccio was a bit too overpowering for my liking, however the cheese and actual beef were nice, maybe a skip if you don’t like olives! The steak was nice and the cafe de paris sauce had a strong paprika flavour which was super good! The serving of fries was the perfect amount too and well salted. The ambience was nice with a dim lighting and old timey decor. Service was good, and waiters were very attentive!

Excellent food, tasty cocktails and wonderful service by our attentive servers Mary and Mimi! We braved the Saturday rains to come here for dinner and weren’t disappointed at all. Definitely returning again soon

Came here on a friday night for dinner. Can definitely say the highlight was the duck shepherds pie and the scallops. Service was a tad slow, however it being Friday night, that was understandable. Quite noisy at times and it was hard to hear my partner who was sitting across from me.
