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.

Northern Line Bar & Social

Bar

👍👍 Super fun little bar! They have a really great selection of beer, the atmosphere is nice and staff are really friendly. Also whoever picks the music does a great job. 😋 One of my fave spots in the city.

Churly's Brewpub & Eatery

Pub

👍👍 Come on Auckland! You guys need to come and support this great business! The beers are off the chart and the food is fantastic! I love a hazy IPA, each one was unique and delicious! There are over 30 different beers to choose from! The food was really good. I highly recommend the crispy butchers bit...

The Bridgman

Pub

👍 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...

Northcote Tavern

Pub

👍 Love that the owners have maintained and retained this wonderful building. Definitely an asset to the area. Try the teramisu and the creme brule as a treat

Bozo - Gin & Rum Bar

Bar

👍👍 We ended up at Lovebucket in K Rd in search of well-endorsed cocktail buckets or so I believed, and I was instantly taken aback by this dark brooding cocktail bar with a lounge DJ and tables full of patrons in this back-of-the-way bar. The vibe was evocative, relaxed, somewhat clandestine and heady...

The Brit Pub & Eatery

Restaurant

🫤 Good service, but understaffed and so packed it takes a while to get served. The place is like one big cavernous room so it gets extremely loud. It's full of suited and booted city business folk who aren't really my kind of crowd. Premium prices and you don't get a seat. I didn't enjoy it and won't...

The Fiddler Irish Bar

Bar

👍👍 Very nice bar with a super lovely german manager. They have live music from ca. 8pm til midnight. Beer costs around 8 till 10$, thats a little bit more compared to other locations in that area, but you get pretty good beer. In summer it gets crowded a lot, so be there early.

46 & York

Bar

👍👍 46 and York is an awesome place to meet friends for drinks and a bite to eat. They have heaps of unique cocktails and a range of beers/ciders on tap. The food is great and ranges from bites to share (chicken sliders are my all time fave) to yummy meals. There's a lot of parking directly outside whic...

Hotel Ponsonby

Pub

😐 Some beautiful dishes & excellent cocktails 🍸 This place is, however, a difficult mix of relaxed & posh - expensive yet lacking in the comfort & service I would expect for the price. You should book a table in the dining room for proper table service. The pub area for cocktails is decent for drinks...

The Good Home Mt Eden

👍👍 What an outstanding lunch I had here! Pan fried snapper, gluten free and absolutely delicious! Food is a little pricey but it's well worth it! Staff were friendly, and helpful without being intrusive on our family get together.

Horse & Trap

Pub

👍👍 This place has come through some hard times to now excel. I enjoyed it in the old days. There were challenging times in between due to cost and light rail restrictions. But the rebirth is awesome under new management. What a gem, great food, great atmosphere, attentive bar staff, and a manager who l...
