I wish we had a bar like this where I live! Awesome vibes, great service, and an amazing ability to take your preferences, feelings, and random words to make incredible cocktails. Would recommend to anyone coming to Auckland!

One of the most unique bars I've been to. There's no set menu, only custom drinks based on some questions they ask you. We sat at the high tops by the bar which was great because you could see the hard work the bartenders and servers put into making the drinks, and the bartender can personally explain their creation to you.You can tell they hire extremely talented, creative people who treat cocktails like a form of art. This is the kind of bar I'd bring friends to if I could only show them one bar in the city!

EDITED: Service the last time I was there was not as good as previous times, and my partner and weren't served until we approached someone, and then only served once in our 2 hours. Other tables were seen quickly though.This is a shame as other times I really enjoyed my visits, but as it was my partners first time it left a sour note with me.However, the staff at the front were nice enough to comp the one drink we did manage to get, and Heather reached out as well to get the feedback, and I do think they'll take this on board and work to improve and learn which is positive to see when businesses do listen and try to make the experience better.After the correspondence I would be willing to give it another go.

Very unique experience and atmosphere. There is no menu, they asked a variety of questions and curate drinks based on your answers. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed their drinks and the live music

Staff were extremely helpful, polite, and patient. The atmosphere was fantastic and the decor was amazing. Drinks were nice and price point was reasonable for the location. Will definitely go again.

This is a speciality cocktail bar. Hard to find as only a door at top of stairs with a 'C' on it. Google maps not much help. It one of the alley ways between Custom St and Britomart.Service is at your table or if you are lucky the couches. Staff will discuss what you like and don't like and then bar will create a unique cocktail. We met there as a group before dinner at a restaurant around Brittomart. We all had unique cocktails all delicious. I tasted all of them. Had a very good margarita myself. Salty and sour just as I like it.

A hidden gem where they create custom cocktails depending of what you like. It’s super cool and enjoyed it as pre-dinner drinks.

Very pleasantly surprised by this little underground gem. Superb spirits menu despite the obvious emphasis on mixed drinks.Superb service. They really take care of you. Price was reasonable and music was pretty varied. Something for everyone.NOTABLE: Found a very rare bourbon that's even difficult to find inside the US.

This bar has good vibes, awesome cocktails made by waiters who just ask what tastes you like, and the jazz band is really good fun
