Such a great place that fills a huge gap in the night life for an older crowd. A place to have the best cocktails (Riff Raff) and enjoy a conversation while still enjoying a great atmosphere and music. Very friendly staff and the malt vinegar chips are amazing!! Beautiful comfy booth seats also!!2/03/2023Still amazing service and friendly staff that will help you find your new favorite drinks. We'll worth the visit if you're looking for some comfy seating and chilled atmosphere with some of the best cocktails around!

My partner and I have been here a few times now and every time we have had outstanding service. The owner is super welcoming and meets you at the door. The cocktail menu is incredible, by now we've tried most of them and every one has been wonderful. Special shout out to the Tequila old fashioned and miss moonshine. The food is also amazing, and served till closing. There always seems to be specials on offer. General good vibes throughout. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a chilled environment with great food and drinks.

Excellent drinks. Unfortunately the food was underwhelming, especially for the price. Service was attentive, and very accommodating.

After bar hopping for a few hours we came to Ernest, on entry greeted by the owner Craig at the door. Most welcoming place we visited, the drinks were spot on, the waitress Heidi was delightful and nothing was too much trouble.I wish more places in Auckland took note of their values and business model.Stunning place, great vibe.... Would recommend to anyone in Hamilton if you wanted a laid back cocktail or just a friendly place to hang out!!Cheers team!Will definately be back tomorrow night.

Very trendy bar for a wide range of cocktails. Defiantly the go before you hit the dance floor..really seemed to pick up round 10-11pm Saturday night. Lovely seated service, plenty of beer options too. Excellent high end decor in two areas, looks like it opens up during those hot summer months. Worth adding to your next night out.
