The Bourbon & Beefsteak has been a popular Kings Cross institution for more than 30 years, and it still attracts everyone from visiting U.S. sailors and tourists to businesspeople and ravers. The fact that it's open 24 hours means many people never seem to leave- occasionally you'll find someone taking a nap in the bathroom. The American-themed restaurant is busy at all hours, churning out steaks, seafood, salads, Tex-Mex, ribs, seafood specials, and pasta. Breakfast is served daily from 6 to 11am.

Every night there's live music in the Piano Bar from 5 to 9pm, followed by a mixture of jazz, Top 40, and rock'n'roll until 5am. A disco downstairs starts at 11pm every night (finishing at 6am), and a larger one takes off in The Penthouse at the Bourbon bar on Friday and Saturday nights. The music is geared toward the 18 to 25 crowd of locals and tourists.
