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!

These guys make the most amazing drinks you've ever had. The whiskey sour is the best I've ever had. Kieran and Dario manned the bar like a US Marine preparing for battle. Turning out drink and drink. If you want a great drink with top notch atmosphere, this is your place. I will make this my regular spot every time I'm in Auckland. I gave it two thumbs up and two feet up because I've drank a few too many:)

I'm wiping tears away as I type, sipping my cocktail. If you have a checklist that defines a proper bar, let this place check all of the boxes for you. The drinks are the absolute best you've ever had. Stop wasting time reading on Yelp and grab an Uber. Your evening is planned. Trust the bartenders (Kieran and Dario) to serve you the best cocktails of your lives. The atmosphere will speak for itself when you walk through the door. This is the exact place you're looking for.

This is not the most tiki place I've ever been but they absolutely get the drinks right and the vibe is good. I came here on a Saturday night and it was busy but not crowded. The music was pretty standard club type music with a DJ spinning. Music as loud enough to add energy to the room without drowning out conversation. Ended up ordering the Pandanacolada and it was delicious. Smooth, creamy and not overly sweet. The bar is a little confusing to find. You go in the Chamberlain and then this bar is located upstairs. The bar overlooks the street out front. Definitely recommended!

With so much Asian influence in the city of Auckland, I feel there are times when restaurants should just leave some dishes/flavors alone as they are amazing in their own right.

If you love 90's RnB and Hip-Hop in a danceable, 2-step vibe, more so than fist-pump, table jumping manner. Auckland has so many beautiful and thick women and they were all here. But it's still more of a standing/talking/vibing bar-that-plays-music than a club-club. I would go back, especially to start off the night, but maybe not finish it...unless I was on a Bumble Date that I thought might be wifey. All in all, good fun.

In fact, it's always packed and a nightmare to get to the bathrooms, which are at the very back of the bar. It's saving grace is the music. It's largely hip hop and RnB but think old school classics as opposed to Chris Brown. For me, PSC is a late-night destination and I almost always order G&Ts so it's hard to comment on the drinks but the bartenders are speedy and friendly enough! It wouldn't say it's a must visit but if you're keen for a boogie and you're on P.Road, it's worth a look.
