    ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! Came in with a group of friends, the young lady working was absolutely wonderful and friendly. We were just about to order as the male bartender came, as soon as he saw us he immediately started frowning and looked extremely angry. He refused to serve us claiming a few of are friends were "swaying" when we were clearly not drunk as we had just come from dinner. I don't want to claim the race card as sometimes people might not be having a good day but this was blatantly obvious that he did not want to serve us because we are brown. He made is extremely obvious to us and the other customers around that he didn't want our kind in the bar, he made us feel very uncomfortable and angry, completely ruining our good vibes. Needless to say we will not be coming back.

    Bethany and Rohan are 1 in a million. Undoubtedly the most invaluable assets to the Bramble. Fabulous atmosphere and ambience, original cocktails, and an absolute gem for Onehunga nightlife ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for always looking after us

    I'm really not sure how they've managed to pack so much *ka-pow* into such a tiny space, but they've done it magnificently. Calm and relaxing, with simply amazing cocktails. This is a great example of how it should be done.

    Amazing and delicious cocktails!!! Love the barstaff. Dan is a MAGICIAN and a true artist when it comes to cocktails. I quite often go alone to the bar but never feel lonely because of how friendly and welcoming the bar is plus great yarns with the locals!!!

    Little cute bar, Nice garden area, friendly staff. There are heaters outside, so no problem during the winter as well. There is happy hour (Before 7pm) So just $10 for a tap beer. The chips portion was massive👍 I would like to try a cocktail here next time!

    Do yourself a favour and go and get a lemon cheesecake cocktail, and sit in their courtyard. Treat yourself and thank me later.

  • 5/5 Andree J. 2 years ago on Google
    I did not expect their bar snacks to be so delicious. Cocktails are a no Brainer this bar is renowned for the cocktails, service in Covid times is really good. Almost wished orange doesn't exist. I like this vibe. Keep it I say.

    Vest hidden secret bar! The most amazing cocktails at a great intimate bar love going here and catching up with friends and try a new cocktail each time

  • 2/5 Bryan W. 6 months ago on Google
    Very disappointed, came here for the reputation…. Ordered a basic cocktail, 2x whisky sours. Which was okay. However, while waiting half an hour watching the staff taking shots of jumping goat, our cocktails hadn’t been started. My partner had to ask them what was going on? free rose great! but where are the drinks we ordered? Not sure if it was their first day on the job? Hmm…not too sure if there’s a captain to steering this ship.
