What’s a lounge bar without chandeliers, a grand piano and red velvet curtains? This place, created by former TV weatherman turned Labour MP Tamati Coffey, is set into a narrow space that seems to remove you from Eat Streat. There's a soulful soundtrack and regular live music (and karaoke). Cocktails are the main focus, and the wine list is mostly faithful to NZ.
