Bootleg Meatballs

"From the outside, Bootleg Bar is an unobtrusive slip of an establishment a few minutes' walk from Kings Cross's hoo-ha bustle. Inside, the aesthetic is solacing and eye-catching — a New York-style small bar decorated with a cunning mix of industrial fittings, chalkboard panels, discreet lighting and framed photo portraits of famous rockers, hip-hoppers, mods and folk stars. It feels lived-in too. Not because it's drab but because the room's layout — bar tables and stools, followed by booth seating and a small restaurant-like section of tables and chairs in front of the kitchen — is a well-thought-out mix of accessibility and snugness." - Lenny Ann Low, Sydney Morning Herald

Born in 2009, Bootleg Bar & Italian Food recalls the feeling of one of those late night treasures in down town New York City and Berlin.
A low-lit space with comfy bar stools, booths and tables, perfect for downing local beers, boutique wines, cocktails and snacks at the bar.

Chef and owner Rob Gal serves up top notch Italian dishes - luscious, flavoursome and a million miles from mingy portion sizes.
A small, but considered menu with daily and seasonal specials boasting generous, heartfelt food of an Italian osteria - all served until late.
