It looked so small when i was looking at this place from outside but this place is outstanding. There are downstairs and when you go down, they have a beautiful exclusive and private place to enjoy your time.. I got cheese platter and some drinks👌 Absolutely i will be back soon.

love love this place very exclusive vibe and the moment I saw the infusions in the bar I know I'm in the right place Alex was amazing don't shy out if you're unsure Alex will guide you and let you taste it to make sure you got exactly what you need. I had the miso bourbon and damn I loved it the balance is just really good can't wait to go back

If you didn’t know about it already, it’s a must go to. I cannot fault it. You walk in to find a few bar stools and two booths, very casual yet stylish feel. The manager / barman extraordinaire is welcoming and his drinks are divine. He does a Rhubarb Gin that I keep coming back for time and time again. We got Oysters & a Cheese platter (comes across from Culprit - which is across the road). You can walk down into the private booths with its leather couches and velvet curtains. The atmosphere is chilled and music is on point. For a place to start your night with entrees & cocktails or to unwind at the end of your evening. This is the place.

Polished and cozy bar and eatery, great place to get away from the crowds in central Auckland

Really great staff who were super nice on a busy night. Much appreciated for a party of one. The drinks were also perfect. Really great spot if you can get a seat. Busy for a very good reason.

My favourite little spot at night. Had the best bartender in town, always can surprises you with all kind of different drinks, and satisfying all you fantasies of any kind of drink you want. The Best of best! Quite and Cosy~~

This is a quaint little place with interesting cocktails. They make great cocktails and you can tell how much work has been put to them!

This place was recommended to us from another eatery down the road and we're so glad they did! The menu is so considered and original. Their new take on the old fashioned with miso and milky bar is sensational. Every taste is an experience and I can't wait to try out more of the menu. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Great ambiance and cosy, inviting spaces. Good drinks & snack menu but please!! please!! do not ask me for a tip as the default on the credit card payment screen. Automatic tipping is a pernicious American habit that we do not want to import to NZ please.

Currently my favourite place to come after work for drinks. It’s a dark, but a cozy, luxurious and intimate setting out the back. Bartender is extremely lovely and was very accomodating for our walk-in group of 6 when the place had been fully booked out for an event which was to start in an hours time. The Coco Coala cocktail he made was also divine. We got all 3 fries options, which were jampacked full of flavour. After trying them all our groups rating of the 3 were: 1. Truffle cheese 2. Garam Masala 3. Waffle cut

Amazing how they do not ever interrupt and asked us about how’s everything!! Hahahaha we just wanted to have a quiet time as a group of friends so that’s perfect~~ the atmosphere is amazing, like how dim it is and quite spacious, but the table is just a bit too big for the four of us. Ordered a martini, it was alright i’d say, wasn’t really spectacular but nothing can go wrong with a martini.

Great little bar, had probably the best margarita I have ever tasted. Friendly service, highly recommend

An oasis in the middle of the CBD, very frendly staff and very helpful. Make the most amazing cocktails and the food is outstanding. Would highly recommend this to locals and tourists alike. 5 stars +

I had some time to kill today on Queen Street, I decided to pop in to Little Culprit with the hope of grabbing a drink and quick bite. When I entered a little after 4pm there was literally no one in the restaurant. I asked the bartender if I needed a booking and told him I wouldn't be long. He went on and on about how they are a very small venue and he recommends bookings. He said it like 3 times before saying, "I guess if it's just one person it's okay" by that point I was frustrated standing there with him going on and on about having a booking despite there being no one there instead of just telling me where to sit and taking my order. His demeanor was off putting. I just thanked him and said I'd find somewhere else and left. I do know one thing for sure, first impressions are lasting. I'll never return.

This is such a good cocktail bar. The manager Eliot is exceptionally nice. All cocktails that we tried are amazing. I would recommend everyone to come here

Very good atmosphere. Experience might’ve been actually better than dining at the original culprit.

A rare gem! Absolutely delicious cocktails and tapas style cheese, seafood and grazing boards. The owner is an actual superstar, and the staff are next level attentive, welcoming and super friendly. We visit from out of town... this is our favourite cocktail bar in Auckland...

An aspirational menu of cocktail variations or traditional martini, I twice found myself struggling to have something I wanted to order. I also didn’t get an option for bespoke alternatives either. The ambiance in my view is average due to poor acoustics. Loudly overhearing other tables, to the point of not being able to hear my own thoughts, also not just a one off. I can’t see a reason that I would ever go back here.

Always love to visit Little Culprit when in Auckland - the cocktails are super imaginative and delicious! Try the mystery boot cocktail, you never know what you’re going to get 😀

The banana bread cocktail they had for the daily special was incredible. I hope it is added to the usual menu! Definitely coming back here.

Cute little bar just off the main high street in Auckland. Great selection of wine from some of the best winery's. Cosy atmosphere inside, nice place to just sit down with glass wine after day exploring/pre drink night ahead.

Delicious and simple cocktail list, great martini’s and a short but sophisticated bar food menu from across the road at Culprit.. The interior feels like you fade into another world.

Honestly, I cannot even wait till I leave to review, sitting here in awe of the talent. This place is beautiful, an experience. 10/10 would recommend. Cannot wait to come again and I haven't even left.

Great place to have vonversatiobs with friends around food and drink. Its a dark lit place. I found the ambiance to be tasteful. Gave me a good feeling. Was there with friends, probably the best way. Or with a date would be a nice spot.

Great place to have a relaxed drink and conversation. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed their banter as well. Definitely going back again.

Went here as suggested by Culprit after dinner and it was really good. Imagine dim lighting, chatty bar tenders, chilled music and just an overall good vibe. I'll be going back for sure especially since they make one of the most delicious cocktails in my opinion as seen below: the milk punch! Really hope it never gets removed from the menu.

Cozy little bar by culprit. Nice cocktails made by Alex. Let him know what you fancy you will make sure you like it.
