While you're there take in the grand 360’ views of the city and enjoy rooftop-ready wines, craft beer and Hamptons-meets-Miami inspired cocktails.
They have an array of yummy snacks to enjoy from their new menu, including all-you-can-eat pasta on a Tuesday evening!
That’s not all, get ready to dance the night away every Friday and Saturday with renowned DJs from Aotearoa setting the tone across the integrated sound system covering both floors!

They also have a fabulous long brunch menu which is a great way to try a range of the best cocktails and sharing plates!
