Why it's worth checking out
KC’s Honky Tonk is a live-music bar in Sydney’s North Shore, with the website listing the venue at 6 Burlington Street, Crows Nest. Its Wild West-inspired identity is matched by a lively programme of recurring events, making it a place to visit for entertainment as much as drinks.
The weekly schedule includes line dancing at 7pm on Wednesdays, trivia at 7pm on Thursdays and live music from 7pm on Fridays. Live sport is also shown when scheduled. The venue describes itself as loud, energetic and geared towards a big night out, so it is better suited to groups and social gatherings than to a quiet drink.
KC’s Honky Tonk is open from Tuesday to Sunday, with later trading on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Bookings are available for both tables and selected events, including live performances. With a 4.5 Google rating from 450 reviews, it has established a strong local following. The website does not provide a food menu, so visitors should check directly for current drink, dining and event details before heading over.
