Fodor's Expert Review Hugo's Lounge
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This is the place that transformed Kings Cross from a seedy crossroads of sex shops and smut to a must-be-seen-here destination for Sydney's beautiful people. Red lamps are a nod to the neighborhood's skin trade, but the deep couches, opulent ottomans, and decadent cocktail menu are purely upmarket. Three cocktail bars, a terrace on which to mix and mingle, and DJs everynight, means there's something for every taste. The downstairs pizza bar is part of the Hugo's stable of eateries.
