I have had by far my best nights out in this venue. Week in week out my friends & I are here & it never changes. The staff are so happy to see regulars & go out of their way to learn your name, the music is by far the best in the Cross with some really good name DJ's coming in & it is always open nice & late.

Ive had my birthday party, a friends hen's party & also attended a work function here so its clear they cater for all people. Even if you come in early they will try make space for you if you want to sit down. Love the place through & through (some good looking boys around most nights also).

I came to the Kit and Kaboodle for an end of semester/uni course party. The venue itself was stylish enough but sadly of course the Kings Cross area is essentially full of drunkards and (some) perverts. In terms of value for money for hiring this venue for formal or social events, there are issues. The standard 2 or 3 drinks per person arrangement is marred by patrons only being able to trade in their “free drinks” tickets for a limited range of drinks like Carlton Draught, Victoria Bitter or cheapie whisky like Ballantine (yucky blended stuff).

I’d have much rather traded in all three of the drinks tickets for one good drink and once I’d have started, I would have kicked on with more drinks from the bar. Alas, that was not permitted. So I drank water. I’m probably better for it because this place effectively encouraged me not to drink at all. As for the nibblies, they were nothing to write home about.

Honestly, don't go there. A few weeks ago I visited Kit & Kaboodle on a Friday night and thought I'd never go back. The place was empty and the guards were desperate to call people in, as a result, the place was filled with sleazy men and lazy bartenders. The music was painful to drink to. Having said that, the cocktail menu is Ok, but costs more than what it's worth.

Last Saturday, my friend was very eager to give it a go so I was persuaded to line up with her. It was busier and the guards were horrible. They took one look at my two friends and refused to let us in. The worst treatment I've ever seen, this is Australia for god's sake!

I also heard through a friend that a girl tried to book her party in there and the staff were very pretentious, acting very nice over the phone but never fulfilling any promises and ignoring all of her inquiries.

If you're looking for a classy party venue, I suggest you try somewhere else instead.
