    My Bar is a gem of a place: you come because it’s open till late and you stay because it’s a great place. The fact that I came here on two consecutive nights with two different groups and had two fun experiences says it all. This is the kind of place where the drinks, conversations, and the good times are free-flowing. My Bar has nailed the balance where it’s fun, cool, and drama-free. Auckland’s night life still has some ways to go towards a healthy recovery. Places like My Bar will help with that recovery.

    Decent cocktails... nice little stop in.... a little 'hipster' and it's rather cramped... and they don't let you smoke outside... it's ok! A bit overpriced and a bit... (what's another word for wanky?)

    Really good, cosy spot for a quick drink or an extended drink session with your mates. Love that they have mulled wine and port on the menu. They have an extensive selection of beers, wines and cocktails. Friendly and chatty service in a great location. We often go here for a drink before going to Mezze (just across the way) or for an after dinner tipple after dining at Mezze.

    Cute little place in a side street without cars, nice outdoor seating as well. Definitely go for their beers, their cocktails are a bit pricey for what they are

    Nice venue. Good craft beer

  • 5/5 Alexa L. 3 months ago on Google • 74 reviews New
    Excellent cocktails and service! If I lived in the area I would come back again and again! Each cocktail was so special and unique and delicious!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 5 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    Outstanding! We hired the top room for our combined 50th/21st party. It was the perfect size, the staff were accommodating of any and all requests, the bar had an excellent wine selection, the barperson was attentive and friendly, bathrooms were clean, sound system was faultless... it was a perfect evening. We can recommended these guys 100% for your private function. Thank you MyBar for having us!

    The best little bar in Auckland, if you have taste. If you want Speight’s, go and bang your head into a wall.

  • 5/5 Rhetski B. 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Awesome little find down a side alley. The guys were super friendly and knowledgeable, cocktails were top notch and the hash brown sticks were yummy!!

  • 4/5 Noel D. 8 months ago on Google
    Cozy atmosphere, not a ton of seating inside, but has outside tables.

  • 5/5 Nik H. 9 months ago on Google
    Cosy little bar just off Queen Street, with some fantastic craft beers and cocktails. Staff are super friendly as well, great spot!

  • 5/5 Panida Wongchanon (. 9 months ago on Google
    Not sure about food here cause I haven't tried. But I loved the vibe and my cousin said the drink tasted lovely.

  • 5/5 David L. 10 months ago on Google
    It's open late which is a bonus in Auckland. Cool little bar with an extensive range of drinks.

  • 5/5 Henry de J. 1 year ago on Google

    A great little venue for holding parties in their first-floor bar/function room. The staff were very accommodating

  • 5/5 Craig P. 1 year ago on Google
    I have always loved this great little bar. Nothing much to say except that it's a great cosy bar with really lovely staff.

  • 5/5 KJ W. 3 years ago on Google
    Went with a friend/colleague. Good drink selection. Although no surprises (well-posted via menu), a premium beer costs $13.00. Interesting artwork. Both indoor & outdoor spaces to enjoy. Excellent people-watching from the lane. There is a function room for hire. Staff friendly/cool. The ladies toilet was one of the cleanest l have seen for an Auckland establishment.

  • 4/5 Sobia M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cocktail/mock tail making class. We were there for a hens party, and had a blast! Thank you for the service. I do think that the price for a mock tail making education was a wee bit higher than I expected. But other than that thank you.

  • 5/5 Faith D. 1 year ago on Google
    Thank you for such an awesome night, a nice cosy spot for a 30th event hosted in the function room upstairs, the bartender was great, attentive and efficient with around 30 of us from 7 - 2am. Food was amazing and facilities were great, with own little smoking area/bathroom in the area. Had everything we needed, highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Tanz P. 2 years ago on Google
    We held a small event here on March 25th in the function room upstairs. Liaising with Asa beforehand with the preparation was easy and our bartender Adrian on the night was AMAZING - very patient and catering to our every need. The other staff working that night were so friendly and helpful too. Thank you all so much for a fantastic night, we will definitely be back! Sam & Tanz

  • 4/5 Phil G. 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect small bar experience with attentive barmen who enjoy what they do. Location is perfect too. Good range of craft beers and a decent cocktail menu. Outdoor seating available til midnight but a generous open window onto the lane as well. Perfect place for a nightcap or a 'stirrup cup'

  • 5/5 James J. 2 years ago on Google
    Down Durham Street Lane way in the middle of midtown, this tiny hole in the wall bar still manages to be quiet and ambient on even the most bustling of days. They always have a great selection of beers on tap. Such a good place for an after work catch up or a meeting point for people to gather before you move on to a restaurant.

  • 4/5 Claire S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little place. Excellent selection of beers, wines and spirits, lots of NZ spirits. Some outdoor seating and wee tables inside. Its is pretty cozy but that sure adds to the charm but can mean its a bit difficult to navigate. Staff were super friendly. Happy we made a detour to check it out

  • 5/5 James T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little pitstop bar, with a yum tap beer selection

  • 5/5 S A. 1 year ago on Google
    The function room was perfect for the birthday party we held there last week with around 30 guests. We had everything we needed. Asa did a great job of helping to organise the event and always answered my many questions promptly. On the night we found all the staff to be super friendly and helpful. The food was great. It was a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to all the staff. We definitely recommended My Bar function room.

  • 4/5 Javier S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to chill after dinner. No loud music/background which adds to the intimacy of the place.

  • 5/5 Hedvig S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere and good beer selection. Free wifi!!

  • 5/5 Paul M. 1 year ago on Google
    The coconut stout was tasty! Nice atmosphere on a Friday night.

  • 5/5 Paul 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best bar in the central city, possibly Auckland, great selection of beers and cocktails. The staff are awesome and really make you feel welcome. Solo pull up at the bar, groups chill outside and epic venue spot for a great price. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Chrissy J. 1 year ago on Google
    My bar is as it sounds. A little oasis, a moment to stop, and share with a partner or friend, while enjoying a shaken not stirred cocktail. Your host for the evening is quietly present and attentive. Metal note to self: Orginal cocktails are strong while the modern cocktails I personally enjoyed.

  • 5/5 Gohan F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, great banter. Really good drinks! Was a pleasure visiting here from Australia 😊

  • 5/5 David E. 3 years ago on Google
    Booked in for the cocktail making class with a group of friends. Great venue and staff - very knowledgeable about everything cocktail related and a good laugh too. The cocktails were fantastic and will definitely be coming back for drinks next time we're in Auckland
