I wanted to see what else was around the vicinity. Ultimately, I came back to order. The owner recognized me immediately and thanked me for coming back! To much of my surprise, i felt very valued and honored. My wife and I ordered the kebab plate and shared it because we knew the portions were very generous. It was supremely delicious and I wish the USA places would take note of Celine's platters. Definitely would come back again.... only if I didn't live half way across the world!

This place has a very good alcohol selection but absolutely no tea at all…read more I wandered in one day literally wanting a cup of tea but ended up with a very nice gin! I'd go back of I wanted a drink in this area. It felt like the local watering hole but nicer than most and the staff was very friendly. There was a drinking Scotsman there but I guess that's the same as saying there was a Scotsman there. Perhaps there is always one there... Ok I'll go back again and report on that!

The Gypsy Tea Room is everything a good neighbourhood bar should be; unpretentious with a great…read moredrinks list and staff that treat you like you're a local, even if you're not. I've been to The Gypsy Tea Room a few times, normally in the afternoon. They've got great street-side seating with just the right amount of shade. The bartenders have a good knowledge of their wine list,as well as the hard stuff, and are friendly but in a laidback, casual sort of way. Although primarily a bar, they do have a short menu feat. bar snacks like olives, calamari and a couple of woodfired pizzas. Take note, the pizzas are small so if you're hungry I reckon you could polish off a whole pizza solo. I've never been here late at night so don't know what the vibe is like but as an casual afternoon watering hole, you'll struggle to find better.

Had a catch-up with some very close mates here a little while back, and it was an enjoyable evening with the exception of the service. It was a busy evening, but putting the young blokes outside as an afterthought and then forgetting they're there isn't a great start. My pizza then took a short lifetime to arrive. That's where things get good - it was magnificent and could give Niko down the road a run for his money. Drinks menu is decent too, and my beloved Peroni is on tap!

The selection of the gins they have here is rather impressive, including quite a lot that I already know and even more that I don't know. There is a lot of expertise here, so if in doubt, just ask. They are more than willing to help you out. In case you don't like gin, they also have cocktails based on other alcohols.

Just the other day, a friend and I were talking about the lack of cosy wine bars in Auckland. You know the kind with big, leather chairs, a roaring fire and a well-thought out wine list. Enter The Corner Store. It's more a cocktail bar than a wine bar but it ticks the roaring fire box. There's also a sneaky internal courtyard that's blissfully quiet mid-week! Hungry? Try their small but delicious tapas menu. Beautifully tender pork belly and damn near perfect fries!

We walked nearby our hotel to My Bar, a tiny place with more outdoor tables (although obviously not the best place to sit on a day like that). Heading inside, we were greeted with a cozy place; mood lighting, exposed brick, wood floors, and tiny table nooks along the wall. The bartender was friendly and got us some drinks. They have a full selection of hard drinks, but I was here for the beer. They have six tap handles, all from the larger breweries of the country. I chose a flight of three. We slowly sipped our drinks and listened to the rain. Prices were reasonable, it was definitely worth a few minutes for some drinks!
