    Every time I’m at other bars, I seem to hear the same stories about QF… and it’s concerning that they’re all from young women. From one girl being trespassed there immediately for reacting to a racist but nothing being done about the creepy & persistent male patrons there just because they are “regulars” (disgusting double standard), to another girl sharing that she no longer goes to QF after sharing with the bartender that a male patron there had harassed her but was instead bullied by the bartender for it - and what is most disappointing, is that this was by the female bartender Hanna at the time. And these are just two of several stories I have heard about the shocking double standards and culture there. Word on the street and in other bars is that QF is not a great place at all. Visited this place myself once, and even as a man, I can confirm that it isn’t somewhere I would want my sisters/daughters to be at. Management & staff need to step up, because I have not heard one good thing about this place and the reputation it currently has is quite embarrassing.

    Used to come here quite frequently at the old location for the karaoke but unfortunately won’t be stepping near this place again. Too many dodgy stories about this place, management needs to step up!

    My favourite pub in Auckland central - proper ‘local’ 🍺🤘 Great service, good eats, decent pints for decent prices, a leafy outdoor space, warm, clean, inviting decor and the best vintage tunes. It’s such a sanctuary. Don’t go changing!

    Go there! Have a drink, meet Paul, he's a great guy. Stumbled in there for a beer because we stayed next door and met the nicest guy around. Have a beer there and give him some love!

    Great location to people watch and just send the wife off shopping and get her to pick you up after shopping and let her drive! For me the down was a Lion breweries establishment with the usual standard beers and only a couple of craft beers... Enjoyed my time there otherwise!

    Great cheap and cheerful pub in the heart of the city. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pizza good flavours.

    It is what it is, and that's not a criticism. A good bar with reasonable prices, not a gastropub so don't expect finesse on the food. Just sit, drink, and enjoy. Relaxed vibe.

    The chicken pizza was delicious, the base was perfect, we did mention to the chef that more cranberry could have been added & we love pineapple too so that would be an extra star! Thanks for the ice xx cheers from the Sunshine Coast QLD Australia xx
