I went here last night (Saturday) with friends, we had a good dance and enjoyed a few wines in the upstairs lounge. Get there early to avoid the queues though.. This bar gets busy!

Good place to drink at the end of a long week, where there’s lots of room to mix and mingle. Located down near Britomart the bar is obviously handy to the train station, but also well placed for a quick dash to nearby Chinese restaurants for a bit between drinks. I haven’t eaten anything from 1885, but they offer an extensive menu that looks delicious.  I’ve always just thought of the place more as somewhere to drink is all. 1885 is well laid out and airy, so it doesn’t get too hot even when packed full of people.  The lighting strikes the right balance between atmospheric and well-lit, so you can see what you’re doing and who you’re talking to, without feeling like you under the spotlight.

1885 opened late last year in a converted warehouse in Britomart. They make great cocktails and have a range of spaces depending on your mood - hit the dance floor, relax in the private bar downstairs with personal service, or grab a table upstairs and enjoy the atmosphere.

 It's got some great wine and has an area for smokers. It's also 200m from my office. Win.

Upstairs is pretty cool but make sure you go down into the basement. Awesome building with all the exposed beams etc - pretty damn old by NZ standards! Funky hangout for the after work set and into the night.
