We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the Traditional Custodians of our local area.
Kings Cross Quarter (KXQ) is the vibrant precinct in the heart of Potts Point — a true inner-city village with an eclectic spirit and a strong sense of place. As Sydney’s first and longest-running entertainment district, it’s always been where the city comes to eat, drink and play — day or night.
KXQ showcases the best of the area across the streets that define it — Kellett, Bayswater, Darlinghurst, Roslyn, Ward, Llankelly Place, Victoria and Orwell. Together, they’re home to more than 100 hospitality venues, with over 50 now represented on our website and growing, including:
Arms Length, Bar Lucia, Barrel One, Bloom, Caravin, Caffe Roma, Chula, Dear Sainte Éloise, Dulcie’s, Ezra, Farmhouse, Friggitoria, Hamilton, Happy Endings Comedy Club, Holey Moley, Lady Chu, Luc-San, Pelicano, Piccolo Bar, Potts Point Hotel, Salumerie, Sonora and many more.
Kings Cross came alive in November 2025 with Light Up The Cross. Over 30 venues lit up the streets with events, nostalgic moments, and unique after-dark experiences.
