    Honey

    This comfy-sofa'd champagne bar sells unique Kiwi drinks such as NZ-made gin (South) and vodka (42 Below), which can be infused with feijoa or manuka honey. There's also a great open-air deck on the roof if it all starts going to your head and you need a touch of the great outdoors.

    Bluestone Room

    There’s no shortage of character in this 1861 stone building, secreted down a dingy alley in the old part of town (a glassed-over well in the floor dates to 1841). The Rolling Stones played here in the ’60s and live blues and rock are still a feature on the weekends.

    Musket Room

    Behind an unassuming door bearing a sign the size of a postage stamp, the Musket Room is easy to miss. But try not to; its owners come from a heritage of hospitality, and its solid stellar reputation is backed by tasty tapas and expertly prepared drinks.

    Chapel Bar & Bistro

    There are two sides to every Chapel story: its corner location allows two Ponsonby people-watching aspects, it's a bar and a bistro, and it has indoor and outdoor seating. It's friendly, neat and casual, with undeniable appeal.

    Shanghai Lil's

    Older couples shuffle to the swing band while staff dressed in Chinese silk deliver cocktails to curious characters reclining on sofas. It's like walking into a David Lynch movie set in an opium den: really surreally cool.
