Nice bar or pub around Auckland?

**Big Dan** · 22nd June 2009, 12:06

Hi All

I'm taking a good friend out to dinner and she would like to go to a bar or pub for the meal.

So Therefore i call upon the land known as KB to give me the guidance to find the best bar or pub in auckland prefer areas below

North shore
auckland city
east auckland

Would like there to be a nice view of the night lights of city

Could you all lovely souls on this site help out

P.S. Be a bonus if the place had pool tables

No way you will get a good meal in a bar with pool tables

If you go somewhere there is a Hotel then you don't have to travel far afterwards to have sex. ;-)

So I'm thinking Orbit at the top of the Sky Tower. No pool tables.

Yeah sounds good but you forget she wants a bar or pub meal more so a pub meal and Sky tower to flash she doesnt like that

Careful not to give out too much information Big Dan OR you may have a couple of hundred bikers cheering you on

That place at Northcote Point is pretty good and has a great view.

I wouldn't go there myself as they don't have any pool tables.

Hammerheads on the way round to Mission bay a bit more classy, but nice views and nice food and beer.

The one I was thinking of was right on the point and almost on the water. No idea what it is called. I don't even know if it is still open as they made the fatal business mistake of not have a pool table.

This one is good though: http://www.menulog.co.nz/sausalito_cafe/contact

I'd forget about Hammerheads. Whilst the food is good, it would be cheaper to hire a couple of tarts for the night and be on a sure thing.

Good luck.

Speakers Corner Ale House in Browns Bay.

Right on the beach front.....after the pub meal and pool you can go for a lovely little winter midnight meander to gain some "brownie" points

The Malthouse, Greenhite. A nice 'local' bar/restaurant. Food is pretty decent, and the place was recently 'flashed up' a bit to make it a bit more 'contemporary'.

Otherwise you can't go past Hallertau's on Coatesvilled-Riverhead Highway. AWESOME beer, awesome food, and hot waitresses. They also do lots of local wines including fruit wines (feijoa!) and some locally brewed ciders as well.
