Our Story

Your corner of
the neighborhood.

Poko's Bar isn't trying to be anything it's not. We're the place on Kings Cross where the regulars know your name, where the beer's always cold, and where you can unwind without the pretense of a crowded downtown lounge.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick after-work drink, grabbing a bite with friends, or just need a quiet corner to yourself — this is your spot. Simple. Honest. Welcoming.
