Bourbon best place in Kings cross, to be looked after with great service and staff. Amazing burger and salad! Best served while sipping a zesty Boulevard cocktail
Nice decor, busy place with friendly staff. Had a burger which was average at best - meat was dry and tasted like it had been cooked ages ago, however all it came with was good; good chips and bun with fresh lettuce. Would defiantly have drinks here again and would try food again due to other good ratings - seems like lunch would be a good shout. But overall I enjoyed to experience and don't regret going.
Great bar & restaurant with unbelievable lunch menu with huge portions for only $15 AUS :-) loved my Reuben sarmie & bartenders were super loveable.

The Bourbon – which was known as “Bourbon and Beefsteak” is an icon in Kings Cross. Having walked past it a lot in recent times, you can see the magnificence of the building. What you see is reminiscent of old world class in a contemporary setting.
The Bourbon is a Southern New Orleans style bar located in the heart of Potts Point on the infamous Darlinghurst Road. By day, it's a stylish place for lunch and a drink (or three) and by night it transforms into a gorgeous night time playground. The Bourbon's makeover is sleek and inviting, great for hosting parties or laid by drinks with mates.
This place is fantastic. Live music and amazing dishes! The atmosphere feels very 1950's and the crowd is a mixture of all age groups. Customer service is very attentive and the place is well staffed. The menu is diverse for suit all tastes. I highly recommend the seafood platter and the lobster roll!
The Bourbon is one of the best ways to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon with friends in Kings Cross. Drinks are affordable, service is friendly, and the food is much better than most of the local cafes and restaurants. And what's more, the portion sizes are huge!
I haven't been here at night in a couple of years, but they used to have some great live music on occasion.
It is a real shame how the lockouts have devastated the Sydney night life, let's hope they don't spell doom for this heritage establishment.
This place rocks! The cocktails here are amazingly good, staff were nice and polite with heaps of knowledge of the alcohol and food. Food it self was tasty and simple, few of the dessert was "ok" nothing great but i enoyed the meals.
The renovation is a major change from the room where I would play trivia and have a $10 steak. Cozy group tables in an intimate setting out the back, or a bustling dining room overseeing the streetscape in the front.

As Sydney celebrated Mardi Gras I had my own Fat Tuesday at this revamped beauty. It’s big, fat, loud food for big, fat, loud people, underpinned by solid French technique, courtesy of ten-year Becasse stalwart James Metcalfe. Get messy (perhaps revisiting some of your earlier memories in this iconic spot) with butter-drenched Grilled Alaskan Crab Clusters ($19/250g) or Jumbo Shrimp ($24) in Creole butter so tasty, you’ll damn your arteries and demand Warm Bread ($3)...
Great breakfast. The baked beans in the bernies breakfast were almost worth it alone.
One of the best bars!. Came here with a few mates after drama class and this is probably one of the classiest bars in kings cross. Good atmosphere, combined with wonderful food and drinks, as well as great service, all contributed in making the night memorable.
I've eaten here a number of times late at night now.
Food has been good everytime and they probably have one of the best american style cheeseburgers in sydney.
Staff are great, wine could be improved and the security can be a douche at times, but overall a decent place to hang out in the cross with a much more civilized crowd.
Shame about the lockout though as they tend to close earlier now. Understandable.
Murdoch. After reading the reviews on Urbanspoon, we made our way to The Bourbon.
Based on previous reviews, I was expecting a Creole / Deep South theme, however with the exception of creole mayo on one of their burgers, that's about it.
Great place, nice atmosphere, but could maybe do with a slightly more elaborate menu.
More bar than restaraunt? Yes, but in a very stylish way. We went there after many years away. I had walked past and liked what they had done to the old place, but never stopped. Looking for something a little upbeat, but unsure after reading the reviews, we first just pulled up a bar stool and has a drink whilst listening to a solo artist who was making a wonderful job of singing a repertoire that well predates his youth. After a quick peruse of the menu and a few minutes soaking up the relaxed ambience, we grabbed a table and settled in for dinner. It was a culinary delight. The Creole quisine was delightful and the service impeccable. The Burbon is now one of my favourite Sydney restaraunt / bars and I can't wait to bring friends back for a visit.
Really tasty food. This place is great. The staff are lovely and very helpful, they have table service, indoor and outdoor seating, live music, and awesome decor. There is a large selection of cocktails and drinks. The food is my favourite, especially the beef brisket, it literally melts in your mouth. Also the patrons tend to be on the more civilised side, which is a nice change. A little pricey but well worth it!
Pork scratchings!. They are going for a rich and decandent New Orleans style food and decor and it really works. Jambalaya, gumbo all delicious. Some really nice seafood too - shrimp, crab, lobster, oysters... Yum. And its still a bar so they do great cocktails and have live music on weekends. $5 coopers on weekdays too!
Great place for dinner. I dont get the unhappy comments previous, the new Bourbon ROCKS. We went last night for dinner, the venue is way cool, the menu a great selection and very reasonable prices. The food is very tasty, we had the crab , prawns and the jambaylaya & scotch fillet. The bill was cheap as we were both full to the brim! OMG the bread & butter is a must as well we had 2 rounds!, cant wait to go back, thanks you Bourbon
Great lunch. Clam chowder and jambalaya were just absolutely delicious. Good service. Great decor and atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Will be back. Love that it's open for lunch on weekends.
Yum absolutely delicious, have the Alaskan crab claws and the beef rib to die for. Service is a bit green but the food is worth it!
Something different.. I have been wanting to try New Orleans style food for years and was so excited when I discovered The Bourbon. The decor of the place is exquisite and the staff are very friendly. The gumbo was amazing, very flavoursome. I also enjoyed the truffle chips. Next time I look forward to trying the desserts
Amazing flavours in the gumbo and jambalaya. So full of flavour. Also had oysters that were deep fried to perfection, anchovies and half lobster with the best fries (not the hand cut chips). The dishes of the night were definitely the jambalaya, gumbo and oysters. And lobster. Okay everything. Great value for money too. Awesome cocktails. Not only best fit out and interior. The fountain that is a sink in the bathroom was pretty cool. Amazing service too. Can't wait to come back!
Monday madness!. We went to the Bourbon last Monday, how cool is it!? The fit out was amazing, live music, great drinks but the food is so yummy and good value, we had the oysters, beef rib & roast pork followed by an amazing sweet tasing thingy, i love the new bourbon and ill be back every week for sure. Good times.
Welcome back to The Bourbon. Fantastic night out and a delicious and satisifying meal. Creole style menu is a great change from everything else I'm eating in Sydney and the Alaskan Crab Clusters are something that every table at The Bourbon should order - delish.
$10 steaks are good.. Good for lunch.
We took our team of 9 out for drinks and a bite to eat last night (Saturday) and had a great night. The food and service was good and the live music provided by a solo musian was great. A nice mix of songs for everyone and not too loud so that we could still have a good chat. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a lot of options for seating and dining. Although the space is big it is cleverly laid out with differently styled areas so that it still feels cozy. You can chill on a couch with your drinks or sit at a more formal table. Great area too, wonderful vibe and great place to meet a great mix of people.
Without a slither of doubt, they serve one of the best parmis in Sydney. The mushroom sauce is a game changer - a local favourite I’ve been frequenting for years.
I love the bourbon it has so much character and history ,you just have to go there and you can feel it...
Us baby boomers decided to take a trip down memory lane and visit the Bourbon Hotel as it was a frequent hangout for us in the 70's known then as the Bourbon & Beef Steak Bar! Not quite how we remember it but we had a very enjoyable and relaxing lunch. The food was excellent and the staff very professional and friendly.
Great venue, good food and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
We had a table for 9 people booked for 6pm, but our previous activity ran over. I called ahead to say that we were running late and was assured it wouldn't be a problem. We eventually arrived 45mins late, and they had held a table for us. The live music was great and we all had a great time, thanks!
Great atmosphere. I love the mid century decor. The have a fairly standard beer and wine menu but a good cocktail list. Happy hour between 5-7pm means you can get two cocktails for $25 buy they weren't doing the jugs when we visited. The bistro has some good bar snacks too.
