    Every Wednesday 1885 hosts Jazz in the Basement and it is truly a treasure trove of pure awesome…read more Impeccable wine, beer, whiskey and cocktail menu as well as an array of leather love seats to settle into as the live jazz washes over you. And let it wash, and wash and wash all over you. Seems like the upstairs is very different from the basement and likewise with the weekday vs the weekend. Besides the live jazz the Rogue Society gin martini with anchovy stuffed olive was hands down one of the best I've had in Auckland. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I even loved the mailboxes of paper towels in the loo... it's all in the details!

    Every now and again I like to hit the city and go big, really big. I plan my night out with mates,…read moreand it is always a success; we go to the right places at the right time. But ever since 1885 opened, it has changed the game plan a bit, purely because we don't want to be left on the outside looking in. This is the kind of bar where you need to do a bit of homework before you attend. If there's an event on at Vector, then you need to be there before the show ends, otherwise you're not going to get in. So needless to say 1885 is popular, and you need to dress up to get in, and you'd want to anyway, as you'll be rubbing shoulders with the rich and beautiful. Who am I kidding, if you hang out at 1885, you are the rich and beautiful.

    This is my partner's fail-safe go-to-after-work pub. He loves it because it is exactly what K' Road…read moreis all about: unique, friendly and just the right amount of grimy. He says it's because it reminds him of the pubs in our hometown in the UK and I don't think he's wrong. I've only met up with him a few times in here but I too think it's a great little place. The staff are always really friendly, there's a great selection of beer (including their home brewed lager) at a reasonable price and there's always been ample seating during after work hours. They've also got a really varied selection of live music and events on every week so there's enough to keep you entertained (the pub quiz in particular is usually a winner). I've not eaten in here but the food on the menu always looks really intriguing. They've got a really wide selection of vegetarian and vegan food and things that are just a little out of the ordinary.

    Stopped here for a quick hello with a friend who knows Simon. Very welcoming, friendly person he…read moreis. You can tell right away he cares for his customers and his bar. It was early in the day so definitively not ready for a full on session but a cold cider was perfect. The bar is massive with prime corner real estate! Plenty of seating at the bar, tables just behind along with benches running along the windows. If it were my local, I would be there on Sundays just to people watch and pass a few pints. There is also a chef in the kitchen, with a menu broadcast on chalkboard above the bar. Live music and other fun activities await weekly. Another plus to this bar is that there is a genuine Italian espresso machine. The brand escapes me, but it is one of only two in all of New Zealand! He said it makes a mean espresso and for someone who loves coffee this is an invitation to return.

    The Powerstation - An example of the kind of bands and musicians that play at The Powerstation

    I always get really excited when a band I love announces they are playing at The Powerstation. It's…read morethe perfect mid-sized venue. Not too big that it feels empty, or the sound is too tinny, and not so small that you're spending the whole time frustrated at people's hair in your face. I've seen a number of great bands here ranging from pretty mellow music to raging nights. There is a seated circle around the top, which numerous musicians see as a challenge. By this I mean they scale the stage and clamber their way around the whole of the top of the venue while belting out a tune. Awesome. There is a pretty large bar at the back of the venue so you can float in and out of the crowd for drinks before, during and after the show. There is also a little area to the side which they use for merchandise sales. Great venue, good times

    I've been to a few smaller gigs at this venue and I must say I quite like it. It has an upstairs…read morebalcony part where there are seats to chill out and watch the stage from above, or you can hang out down the bottom closer to the action (and the bar). That's the beauty of a small place like this; the bar is never too far away. I saw Shihad play here and the sound inside the Powerstation was deafening. I could barely hear for the rest of the night. The venue is located on the outskirts of the city centre, but it's all good because Galbraith's ale house is directly opposite. Not a bad idea to pop in there for a few quality beers before the show (because you'll be drinking crappy beers for the rest of the night).
