Piccolo Bar Kings Cross is an authentic Italian aperitivo bar housed in Sydney's oldest café location, operating continuously since 1952. Revitalized in November 2021 under Dave Spanton, founder of Bartender magazine, the 12-seat bar off Roslyn Street pays homage to its historic heritage. The venue swaps espresso for Negronis, vermouth, and martinis served behind a long wooden bar lined with vintage photographs. With a focus on aromatized wines and classic cocktails, guests enjoy European-style drinks such as the classic Americano made with Campari, house-blended vermouth, and soda. Walk-ins only are accepted; no bookings are available.
