Flight Lounge

Flight Lounge described itself as one of the best nightclubs in Auckland. This club has a modern interior design with a vibrant atmosphere. You can dance the night away here much like many other places.

The Fox

The Fox is your typical sports bar but with a love of cricket. The atmosphere is good even if you do not like sports. You can come here for lunch or dinner, either way you will not regret your choice.

The Sugar Club

Take the elevator 53 floors up and you will find this bar with a stunning view. Try one of their delicious cocktail with an exclusive New Zealand twist. It’s not cheap but then the view is worth it.

Brew on Quay

Brew on Quay was opened by three close friends with the focus on a friendly atmosphere, good food and the best brews. The decor in every room is different with influences from around the world. They did this because they want everyone who visits them to feel at home.
