The toilets are inside the venue and impossible to reach unless you can go through the steps at the entrance. The restaurant is located along a bustling street with limited parking options, and there is no designated accessible parking available nearby.

This ambiance, combined with its outdoor seating on a lively street, makes it an ideal spot for those looking to enjoy delicious food while soaking in the vibrant local scene.

The Kashbah Hotel on William Street is a lively, fun pub with a great atmosphere and a solid selection of drinks, perfect for a casual night out.

However, being an older building and due to strata regulations, the pub isn’t able to make renovations to improve accessibility. There’s a step at the entrance, and since William Street is a bit hilly, there's a small (about 5 cm) step that helps balance the building, which can be tricky for mobility devices to get over.

Unfortunately, there’s no outside seating area either, so the pub isn’t really accessible for those with mobility needs. It's a great spot for those who can navigate the steps, but not the best choice if accessibility is a concern.

Greenknowe Café is a charming perfect spot for a quick coffee break or to seat peacefully inside its picturesque setting or in the terrace allowing guests to savour their food while enjoying the surrounding environment.

The venue is situated on a gentle slope, featuring a ramp that connects the footpath to the café, making it accessible to all guests, regardless of their mobility needs.  The threshold of the door presents a little bump which should not be a problem. Seating arrangements include options for both indoor and outdoor dining, with tables spaced apart to accommodate various accessibility requirements. Although there are some obstacles within the venue, navigation is generally straightforward, allowing easy movement throughout the space.
 

The toilets are inaccessible. If you can use them, they may present some obstacles for mobility devices, as the hallways are quite tight and narrow. Additionally, the venue often keeps items along the corridor leading to the restrooms. We recommend asking the staff for assistance to make the path more accessible; however, we cannot guarantee that this will be possible, depending on your needs. While the toilets are at flat level (the corridor is also flat), they may not be easy to use due to the lack of handrails and space to move a wheelchair in the restroom area.

Sun Hot Bakery Café is a local spot located within the Kings Cross Centre. The shopping mall is easily accessible, with entrances on both sides and a ramp linking Darlinghurst Road to Bayswater Avenue. The café is situated on the fully accessible ground floor and features a low counter, making it simple to order their affordable and delicious Vietnamese dishes or grab a quick coffee while waiting for someone finishing their shopping.
 

There’s a small table near the counter if you’d like to sit and enjoy your meal. While the space around it can accommodate a wheelchair for a short time, the area can get a bit busy with foot traffic, though it’s still manageable.

For added convenience, public restrooms are located directly across from the café within the complex. If you need assistance or directions, the friendly and experienced owner is always happy to help and share local tips.

Healthy Nuts, on the ground floor of the Kings Cross complex under the famous Coca-Cola sign, is a spacious and welcoming shop that’s perfect for grabbing a healthy snack or drink. The shop is easy to access from the street, with a flat, wide entrance that makes it simple for wheelchairs or mobility aids to get inside. Once you’re in, there are cozy couches that add a relaxed vibe, and they can be moved around if needed to make more space.

The counter where you order isn’t too high, so it’s easy to see everything they offer and place your order. If you need a hand, the staff are super friendly and happy to help. While the shop has two floors, the lower level can only be reached by stairs, so it might not work for everyone.

There aren’t any toilets inside the shop, but don’t worry—the Kings Cross complex has public restrooms that are wheelchair-friendly. Just head into the complex, follow the ramps to the end, and you’ll find the restrooms on the left side.

It’s a chill spot to enjoy some healthy treats, with staff who go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable!
