The season of long summer evenings and end-of-year functions has arrived, the perfect time of year to enjoy after-work drinks on a Friday.
Denizen Magazine recently did a roundup of Auckland’s top spots for after-work drinks, and two Parnell favourites received a special mention!
Serving Champagne and caviar alongside exceptional wines and a delicious menu of satiating bites, this intimate, beautifully-appointed bar is as accommodating as it is opulent, and is the perfect place in which to mark the end of the week.

NSP’s aperitivo hour has us regularly spending late afternoons in its famed courtyard, enjoying a delicious drink and a selection of complimentary finger foods to tease our appetites.

As well as these two staple Parnell favourites, there are a number of other local Parnell bars who are masters at serving up evening drinks, such as Cibo, The Paddington, Osteria, Pineapple on Parnell, Boxer, Gerome, The Paw Bar & Eatery, Kanteen, Va Bene, 46 & York, Crown Range Lounge and Plan B Lounge.
