A truly fantastic experience. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, and they create customized drinks based on each guest’s personal taste. This thoughtful, made-to-order approach is clearly what makes the place so unique and appealing.

My partner and I absolutely love it here! The drinks are consistently good. While there's no set menu, I always go for my favorite: the Golden Cadillac. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a dessert-style drink, it’s a rich blend of chocolate, orange, and cream, and they get it just right every time. Soft lighting, soulful tunes, and a cozy vibe set the perfect tone for a great night out. The staff are intuitive and know just what to ask to help you find a new favorite. Whether you're starting your evening or winding it down, this spot is a ponsonby must. Highly recommend!

A really fun speakeasy with a great atmosphere and decor. We had a really good time laughing it up with Lenno, the bartender! He's great and makes incredible cocktails! His take on a Navy Grog is one of the best cocktails I have ever had.

We visited on the first night of our honeymoon in NZ and came back on our final night because we absolutely loved our experience here! We easily found a table and loved the speakeasy feel of the place. The staff was so friendly and helpful in finding us some drinks that suited our tastes. I said I wanted something sweet but not too heavy and they whipped me up a Golden Cadillac which I have never had before, and will now ask for all the time. It was absolutely delicious. Brilliant whisky selection as well. You absolutely must stop here!

Incredible experience and the best cocktails in NZ / maybe the world! They tailor the cocktails to your taste and get it bang on every time. Also I left my sunglasses there and they kept them for me for a month (legends)
