Best places: Bar and grills in Auckland, New Zealand

👍👍 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...

👍👍 Today I had the eggs Benny but sadly I couldn’t eat it the bread was soggy from the water and the whole meal tasted like white vinegar. Also got hot chips luckily they were good and a long black. Staff are very friendly

👍👍 This iconic pub has evolved to be a regular gathering hole for many. We watched the AFL final here cos it had the smarts to provide its venue as one of only a couple in the city. Well done and thank you!

👍 Great spot on Dominion road, very nice atmosphere and lighting - the ambiance was on point. Great menu with a good drinks selection. I only ordered a tiramisu but it was huge! Enough for 5 people to enjoy, I did not get a chance to try the rest of the menu but I will be back! The staff were all supe...

Storied bar in a 19th-century building featuring pub grub & cocktails, plus music & quiz nights.

👍👍 Boss made and served our drinks! Super nice guy. Lots of heart in his presence. Recommend if you're in the neighborhood.

Cosmopolitan gastropub with a chill vibe & courtyard seating crafting artisanal bar bites & mains.

👍👍 Great spot overlooking the viaduct. Fantastic food that was enjoyed by all. Well catered for our kids too. Our staff member who looked after us on Saturday was just amazing. What a lovely young lady, I had to leave a tip to stay thanks. 5 stars!

👍 Home away from home in the heart of the city - the staff are SO lovely, the NZ cider is dry and tasty, the Guinness is good, and they have a pool table! The music is perfect. Sure it's a bit pokey but the people make up for it. I'm a big fan of the outdoor bench. Long live Father Ted's and don't for...

Underground style live music venue & bar showcasing eclectic independent acts.

👍👍 The Haven was a great place to have breakfast. My parents and I were warmly welcomed and the food was delicious and were great serving sizes!! My parents really enjoyed their meals and coffee. I had the egg bene and it was delicious. The cup of tea was brewed just right and as a bonus it was leaf te...

Urbane locale offering sophisticated seafood dishes, cocktails & an all-season, panoramic deck.

😠 10 June 2022. If I could give this place no stars I would. For the amount of money we spent here I hope to warn other group bookings that if your wanting to enjoy an evening of leisure and a catch up with your family even on special occasions. The flying Moa should be avoided at all costs. We booke...

Buzzy neighbourhood pub featuring pizza, sandwiches & shared plates, plus sports on TV.

😐 Good place to watch sports and have a few drinks. The platter we got was not that nice but there was good volume. I'm sure other food on the menu are better.

👍👍 Excellent hospitality warm and friendly owner, With a genuine love for his patrons, Nice coffee to boot.

👍👍 Had a enjoyable time, beer and a steak feed hit the spot. Had a tap on the pokies and a punt on the TAB. Great service and friendly staff.

👍👍 We arrived on a Friday night 8 minutes before the kitchen closed (at 8pm). We ordered the beef nachos (from recommendation in the other Google reviews) and beef burger. The food came really fast and was great. The staff were very friendly. We had a great time, including our dog.

😠 I can't recommend this place at all. Service wasn't terrible, but below average. The food was terrible. Over priced. It's a pub, trying to be a restaurant? There's so many places in the CBD - enjoy your evening somewhere else.
