The Swinging Cat

The Swinging Cat brings the romance and mystique of New Orleans to Sydney's CBD, tucked beneath street level at 44 King Street. Established in 2015, this intimate bar captures the magic of the French Quarter through gas-lit streetlamps, mosaic entryways, and period design elements. The cocktail menu centres on New Orleans classics, with two pages dedicated to variations of the legendary Sazerac. Beyond drinks, guests enjoy soul food offerings including cured meats, cheeses, pork terrine, and dumplings, alongside live music select evenings. A sophisticated retreat honouring the birthplace of classic American cocktails.
