Where to get your groove on in New Zealand

"This venue is an Auckland institution. I have seen Beirut here, Amanda Palmer, The Dresden Dolls, The Mint Chicks and Akron Family - among others! The courtyard is looking lovely with it's new fence-work and fairy lights, the crowd area is roomy yet intimate - this is a good place."

"This is a good place to squeeze past a whole bunch of sexy looking ladies and fellas in order to grab a drink, have a smoke and dance the night away. You're so damn close to everyone, it's no wonder this seems to be a good place to meet your next romantic interest."
