What User doesn't like about Kettle Drums Restaurant and Bar:
Waitresses who are rather scantily clad, to me, are a sign that they are hungry for (hungry) customers, so that's one strike against them (for me). The food is nicely presented but only so so in taste. View all feedback. What User likes about Kettle Drums Restaurant and Bar:
We had the cheese dip to start which came with great bread for dipping. The ravioli was very good, rich but good. Their cheese cake was light and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The server was very accommodating as was the kitchen. I'll definitely return. View all feedback.

Original dishes and classics for the whole very noisy and clim interior family background so prefer the terrace quieter and surrounded by trees if the time allo...

Kettle Drums is at the start (or the end!) of "Cafe Row", so there are many options on Hunter Street. This is one of the nicest. Best patio for sure, and the fo...

Despite some negative experiences with the waitstaff, the restaurant offers a mix of classic and original dishes in a noisy yet lively atmosphere. The menu, described as a blend of Boston Pizza and The Keg, features tasty options like steak, burgers, ravioli, and cheese dip. The atmosphere, from the patio to the bar area, is highly praised. While there were some temperature control issues, the overall experience was positive with friendly staff, accommodating service, and good food options, especially for those with dietary restrictions. A return visit is likely on the cards.
