Basement Theatre
Performing arts theater
👍 Nice comedy theater with cheap parking right outside. There is a bar and you’re allowed to bring your drink into the theater, but the bar staff weren’t very friendly, I felt I was bothering them terribly just by buying a beer, and I didn’t even ask a single question.

🫤 Hamilton via Auckland (8Jun23). Really Spark! Another example of our Auckland Council via Evenz Ltd disrespect for its rate payers. While 'sold' as restricted view by Ticketmaster which could easily be interpretation as a side view on their website, it is unfathomable that a simple fix is not obviou...

👍👍 This is a spot that I cannot help but keep going back to. Perfect for an intimate date night to a family celebration. Warm cozy atmosphere inside and they offer blankets for outside for those cold days. The food is to die for! I’ve tried many pizzas, pastas and desserts at this restaurant and I cann...

Whammy Bar
Live music venue
🫤 Some of my fondest memories were at Whammy, lovely staff and atmosphere. Unfortunetly Whammy has taken it upon themselves to impose nonsensical and discriminatory vaccine passes which belong in the dustbin of history by now. I don't think I'll ever go back there again (it's not like a have a choice)...

👍 ["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 f...

👍 I had some dumplings , the service is decent. I went on a Sunday evening “comedy show “ it was deadly boring. Many of the comedians were reading out of a notebook. Have seen better. There is a cover of 10nzd. Most of the audience was made by the “ comedians” themselves. Bathrooms are very clean , th...

😠 After hearing what happened to one of the performing artists on Friday it's hard to see the hospitality at your venue. You expect us to believe you run "a highly skilled, professional events team" when that is obviously not true. One of the doormen on the night, NEEDS to learn how to do his job. If...
