Love Kodiak Bar in Kingston. Jamie (the new owner) and team are friendly, vibrant and on the ball with service. The team make every visit feel special and personal, like catching up with great mates! From the perfectly poured beers, to the amazing cocktails and great wine selection. The atmosphere is fantastic. Stylish yet not overdone, comfortable and cozy yet brimming with energy! Perfect for date night drinks, catch up with family and friends, work functions and those let your hair down nights. It’s an all round venue. Great indoor and outdoor seating options and it caters to all weather. Sunny day, check, rainy day, check, cold, has heaters and wind protection plus an amazing indoor vibe. I am loving the thought being put into the menu with classics and new items popping up, great value for money and always hits the spot.

This place a hidden gem I really am glad I found this place The various spirits are incredible I must say I was very excited when I found this place. You can come out of gym, get a drink, either have dinner there or move on for the night. But either way you will be really impressed with the overall experience.

The place has a really nice atmosphere. I went in with a couple friends just to get a few drinks. The service staff were really friendly and helpful, plus the cocktails were good value and quality. Will definitely return next time in back in Canberra.

Went out for a date night and the place was quiet but the staff were a delight, has a pool table there so naturally we were playing all night. Pizza was great and service was brilliant. Props to the blokes who were routing for me to win :)

I was catching up with some mates from interstate and they said to meet at Kodiak. It all looks very nice, very fresh and the service was outstanding. Tracie was serving us and ensured that we had a great time across our hours at Kodiak. They have a pool table as well, which is very refreshing to see who has got better or worse at the game over the years! It is a fresh new venue in Kingston and I am sure it will stay after the quality of products and service! Thank you Tracie and the team at Kodiak :)

Love this place. My main man Jayme's loves looking after visitors and he is really fun to chat with. 🙂🍻. Took my one eyed friend to play pool. And guess what? He's gonna be back because of the atmosphere. Atmosphere and layout awesome. A game of pool and a beer or two is called for. 🍻. Check out the happy hour, an hour later then the usual but an hour later 😁🤪🍻. Remember me, pool with my mate maaark, the pirate, with one eye😁🤪😄🤣. .😜🤔🍻👌. Thank you James and the lovely lady/barstaff, tonight it was Tanya 🤓😋). Cheers Bill. 👌🙂🍻 We've got to be there for the happy hour 🙂👍🍻.
