👍👍 Service was outstanding, the staff were picture of calm among the buzz, and they clearly loved what they do. The setting was intimate and quirky and welcoming.

👍👍 They didn't leave a place to rate the beers 🙄 (They're five star.) A great way to taste a variety of options - 40 beers on tap - There should be something to like.. A great vibe. My comfort zone..

Moxie Restaurant

Restaurant

😐 If you don’t mind the small portion size and the rude untrained staff, it’s good place. At least food tastes great. Firstly ordered 5 dishes including Wellington beef which claimed for 2-4people. However we ended up order another 2 dishes later. So total we ordered 7 dishes, the Wellington beef was...

Beau

Restaurant

👍👍 It’s difficult to find a place that is more than a bar, but not quite a restaurant. A place that feels casual enough you can enjoy your drink but also have good food. I can probably only think of one or two other spots in Auckland that achieve this and it’s a pleasure to have Beau in that category....

The Tinted Rose

Bar

👍 A few changes made since being Bonita. Still a cosy little bar but lost it's Spanish flair. Staff are friendly and quick to serve. Great selection of wine and beers. Tapas are ok.

Taylors On Hurstmere

Wine bar

👍👍 BEST BAR ON THE SHORE!!! Steve and the team are super friendly with excellent top notch service. Bartender Josh makes the BEST cocktail! Food taste so good at great price. Nice cozy atmosphere for a night out. Enjoy our time and left the bar with a big smile every time! Highly recommended!

Tokki

Restaurant

👍👍 Last night we had an amazing dinner at Tokki. We were super lucky to get a spot at the bar right in front of chef Jason. We took the house menu which was great from start to finish and an absolute steal for only 75NZD. Besides great food and drinks we had lots of great conversations about food with...

Stanley Avenue Wine Bar & Bistro

Restaurant

👍👍 We had a birthday dinner at the Bistro. The vibe is amazing and waiters are super friendly. We ordered fish and wine. The fish was absolutely amazing, couldn’t get enough! Then we had dessert. A chocolate something with caramel artichoke, OMG it was good. Will definitely return!

Sly Bar

Bar

👍👍 This place is the bees bloody knees. Ambience was amazing for somewhere located on a packed part of K road, with great service even at the busiest times. But boy, the cocktails are the highlight. Specials were good but the bounty bar cocktail was absolutely out of this world good. Spectacular select...

Side Hustle Bar

Bar

👍👍 Refreshing both in its point of difference and in the drinks on offer, this is much more than a cidery. Knowledgeable staff, flavour combos I hadn't tried before and very cute surroundings make this a must do. Flight of ciders, glass of wine or a cocktail, you'll find something for you here!

Cave a Vin

Restaurant

PYM's of Milford

Bar

👍👍 This is a superb venue. The owners and staff are super friendly and really in touch with their customers. The food is yummy (platters in particular are amazing!). Great range of beverage options. A friend introduced me to Pyms and I in turn have taken other friends who have all loved it! Always...

Dice & Fork / Dice & Lock

Restaurant

👍👍 What an absolutely excellent experience! My partner and I came here on a date for some shoestring fries and drinks. James (AKA the rule guy) suggested, after hearing what we wanted to play, that we should try "Jaipur". He was super friendly and explained the game rules extremely clearly. The game wa...

BBC Tasting Studio by Birkenhead Brewing Co.

Restaurant

👍👍 Been here many times! For a bar nestled in the suburbs of Birkenhead you couldn’t ask for much more. Great selection of beer, the servers are always really friendly and all up a good atmosphere! I think the chef has changed over time, but the core menu has stayed the same with typical pub grub with...

Pineapple on Parnell

Bar

👍👍 What a fun place! Both bartenders were super nice and friendly, great chat and service. Excellent selection of spirits, its a relatively small space but felt very cozy and comfy. Loved the decor. Was only there for a nightcap (which turned into 3) and will definitely be back.
