Came here on a Groupon with no issues/attitude using it. Located only a few minutes away from Kings Cross Station, it’s probably best to catch a train to get here as opposed to driving as I find parking is always a hassle/hurdle in the Potts Point/Kings Cross area. When we arrived at 6.30pm, it was relatively quiet, but it did fill up later on which was a good sign. Always awkward if you’re the only ones in a restaurant and the waiter is eyeing you constantly.
Started with some cocktails, and can I just say they are STRONG. This can be either a good or bad thing depending on your personal taste, but just saying.. they’re strong. For some reason I was thinking ‘Bring the boys to the yard’ wo...
As a voracious fan of Japanese cuisine, I keep my pulse on new arriving Japanese joints in the city and my local area. Crane bar had been on my radar for a while so when some of my friends decided to have a combined birthday party here, I was rubbing my hands and couldn't wait to check it out.
Arriving here on a Saturday night around 8pm, I spotted my friends in the crowd quickly. The area we reserved was in the centre of the venue. No sign of sit down dining tables but only a few lounges and stools sporadically spread across the floor, half of the guests were standing. No tables naturally means no table service, we had to make multiple trips to the bar and order f...
My partner and I were given a $200 red balloon voucher as a gift which we thought was a great idea and a really good way to experience something we would not normally do.
We chose Crane Bar after reading the many positive reviews, our love of food and our hospitality background. the experience offered an 8 course degustation with cocktail each for $178.Within 10 minutes of sitting down we had 3 courses on the table ,the first being bland salmon on fried lotus root chips which were soft which lead us to think the dish along with others which were cold has been made well in advance as the chefs knew we were coming for the tasting menu.

Crane bar is a pretty cool looking spot close to Kings Cross station. They do $1 dumplings on Wednesday. They also hold a dumpling competition which I was lucky enough to see one of my mates break the record.
I'd probably only come on Wednesdays for that deal - the dumplings are OK but nothing special. Otherwise the staff are friendly and there's a chilled out vibe.

Went in for the dumpling challenge on $1 dumpling night. Unfortunately too busy eating to get photos. Dumplings were average - prawn schumai probably least favorite. Service was friendly though.

Ok but not anything special. The sushimi was good, but most of the other dishes were just ok. It was pricy for what we had. The service was also a little bit confused at times.
Awesome selection of cocktails - the 'pineapple express' is one of the best I've had! Meal sizes are great for sharing with a group of people.
