Kittyhawk Sydney Events
Make your next meeting, corporate presentation, social gathering, or wedding truly unique at Kittyhawk, the French-inspired cocktail bar and restaurant right in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
Located on Phillip Lane, next to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kittyhawk takes you right back to 25 August 1944: France has just been liberated and the country’s ready to celebrate. Decked out in style with a nod to early 20th century French chic and military memorabilia without the kitsch, Kittyhawk is a stylish spot that’s ready to party.
With three event spaces — the Lounge, the Conservatory, and the Officers’ Mess — or the option to have the whole venue to yourself, Kittyhawk is the perfect place for an after-work drink, corporate function, intimate get together, or style-packed wedding.
Highlights at Kittyhawk Sydney Events:
