Loved the concept and the drinks they served. This is a nice little speak easy, with a unique concept. We had 2 drinks each and they all were as what we discussed with the server.

The atmosphere of the bar and the mood it set was a perfect kick start of our trip to New Zealand.

Would highly recommend this one.

Atmosphere 7/10
Cool neighborhood vibe. Something between a dive bar and cocktail bar. More focused on table seating area than the main bar. Mainly locals, almost no tourists. Pleasant music volume

Drinks 7/10
Recommendation: Bartender’s Choice
No cocktail menu. Drinks mixed purely based on preference. Overall very simple presentation and very basic garnish. Our drinks were just ok. Nice coasters though

Service 6/10
To be frank - there is no service. But the team is friendly and will help out on request. Prices are lower than in Australia

Ambiance is great, but it can get complicated if you don't know what type of cocktail you like ...and if you want to have a couple, it'll get complicated real quick without a menu!
