Lovely spot any time of the day for a drink. Amazing staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience. Drink and cocktail lists are on point. Bar snacks from White & Wong / Burger Boy. Perfect.
The venue is part of White and Wong, has separate entrance also. Attentive waiter and bar tender. He turned on another patio heater to keep us warm before we requested him to. It made a big impression on me for being mindful.
We were here only for some cocktails.
Right choice: Nice selection, good quality, friendly and professional service.

Came in here with my Girlfriend. Understand Auckland is a busy place, having lived in London for many years I know when prices are expensive. This bar in my opinion doesn’t warrant the price we paid for 2 drinks. I had a (pint) 400ml of Tiger beer, my GF had a double gin and tonic Hendricks. But was literally poured into glass with a dash of tonic, nothing fancy. All that came to $42. We questioned it and the barman told us the prices. Although can’t find anything online to confirm this. Later we went to the casino where we got a cocktail which was made carefully right in front of us and another pint 500ml of Asahi, this was $31, by far a better price, environment and atmosphere.
I know Auckland and the rest of New Zealand drink prices are expensive but if I’m paying $15 for a pint, I expect to get a pint 568ml. And $42 I’d expect to pay at a nice rooftop bar for a nice hand crafted drink with finishing touches.
Absolutely loved this place. The bartender Emma made my night!! Came in for drinks with some friends and asked Emma to mix me up a few cocktails of her choice that she thought I might enjoy, and she did just that. 10/10 recommend !!
