A great place to start a night out, in the afternoon with fries, mussels and more than a little bit of great beer.

Shown in the photo Tuatara Black Light, a fine tipple if ever there was.

Meat, meat and more meat. What more could you ask for?

Excellent selection of beer and a good size snugs.

Beer from milk bottles, 80s memorabilia everywhere plus great gastro pub food what more could you ask for? How about 80s spacies games!

Reminds me of being back in Dublin. You certainly can't argue with the quality chocolate that you get with your coffee or hot chocolate.

Hidden away in a little side street with its own plastic dog tied up out front can't hide what is great coffee.

Yes is it a DIY warehouse but it also houses a great little café that is pretty close to its claim of having the best coffee in Takanini.

Yes it is close to work, but you can't argue with the quality of the coffee you get, definitely work the trip down the stairs.

A nice little play area and a really good kid's menu make it a good quick lunch or brunch option.

Wonderful walkways a great café as well as ducks to feed - what more could you ask for except a sunny day?

Wonderful exhibits for all ages all housed in a true Auckland landmark.

Make sure you go on the 3rd Sunday of every month so that you can ride the train at the Aircraft display, if you are lucky you can ride in a tank as well....

Looks great after the refurbishment and they kept the river and the hydro slide, great for those kids of all ages with a love of water.

Not a zoo in the old fashioned sense, lots of up close animal experiences and the new NZ area is fantastic especially for those of us that love Keas.

Classic retro kiwi cuisine.

Great food, a bouncy castle on weekends and a playpen what more could you ask for?

Surprisingly the kids that we were in loved the Bollywood movies on the screens and who doesn't love a good curry.

My little girl loves the chicken and carrot sushi as well as the udon noodle soup that is my personal favourite.

I love the well in the the bar, like a history lesson while you drink :)

About as old as bars get in Auckland and an integral part of the journalistic history of Auckland. Good beer as well :)
