The town hall is one of the most iconic venues in Auckland - situated right in the heart of Auckland on Queen Street, it's a beautiful historic venue. I went last night to see the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra, and it was a beautiful setting for an entirely acoustic orchestra. The bathrooms are nice and clean with big full length mirrors. There is also a bar on site.
Have come to the town hall multiple times- choir performances, Chinese New Years concert for NZSO, AUSA uni ball. It is a beautiful venue. Good bathroom facilities. Two levels- above seating and nice ground floor with decent stage. Great acoustics, good sound system. One of must sees in Auckland. Would love to come here more frequently for other events!
