Thanks, Charlie! ellie. The Elephant Wrestler

This bar is absolutely exquisite and I enjoy sipping elegantly on mojitos and a quiant burgundy coloured cosmo. After that Elephant Wrestler provides really divine dance services that will let boogie the night away. Oh Joy so ravishing really.

Definitely true :)

Takapuna's finest. With a great courtyard and nice sharing style menu

Comment by KL
Agree :)

Staff are wonderful. They have the best live music on the Taka strip. And a yummy yet affordable menu to choose from. This is my favorite watering hole on a Thursday/Friday post work.

Hi Harriet, Thanks so much for taking the time to write about us; what an awesome review! We're really stoked you enjoy coming down and I have to agree, we have some pretty wicked musicians that play here. If you wouldn't mind flicking me an email - events@elephantwrestler.co.nz, that would be awesome. Cheers, Ellie from The Elephant Wrestler
