Well ranged menu with lots of vegetarian options. Pizza and share plates are great to soak up the wine and beer! Large outdoor area with a nice atmosphere. A regular of ours for a casual drink and bite to eat.
Great food, great hospitality and lovely drinks. We had a wonderful experience!!!
Excellent venue for our event - 40+ people. Plenty of seating to accommodate those who could not stand for long periods. Our hostess was great at helping us to set up. Relaxed, great service, nice food.
We hosted a function here recently and it was such a great success. Great event management, great staff, great food. Really happy with Sweat Shop.
Hosted a small event at Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen in Auckland, and it was great! Very helpful staff, who were attentive and professional! Very impressed! Will definitely be back!
We held an event here for 200+ people. The staff were EXTREMELY helpful and accommodating. They created bespoke drinks and food menus, dietary tables, managed a drinks token system for us, and were just generally friendly and cool. The food and beer was great too (think high end pub food)! Highly recommend for your next function!!!!
Good craft beers, food vibes and a big variety of food! Staff are really good when looking for recommendations! Would recommend!!
Always have a good time when we go here for work events. The food is great, good size portions, the fried chicken is a must. They have a great selection of in house beers, the favorite this time was the ipa. I'm sure we will be back there soon. Cheers guys
I recently organised a 21st birthday at Sweatshop Brew Kitchen. This was the best decision I made, as everything went so smoothly! Not only was the food extremely good (pizzas were very popular), the staff were very accommodating and friendly, allowing the best service I could ask for. In addition, the event planning went perfectly due to the efforts of the very committed events manager. The tap beer was popular by many of my guests as well. I would definitely love to return again.
Really enjoyed my evening here as the service was great, music was good and not overly loud for a Tuesday night, food came out quickly and was pretty flavoursome and presented nicely. The drinks selection was pretty good and came out nice and cold and the general ambiance was comfortable and welcoming. Only downside was minimal parking, but with City Works Depot right next door not impossible to just walk across.
Just came back from Sweatshop and had an absolute smashing time (pun intended because I ordered the smash burger 🤯). Our server Ross had us feeling very welcome and a blast to talk to. Recommendations are the smash burger, and the Fried chicken (order some aioli sauce with this trust me). Will 1000% be seeing them soon! Thanks team
Great place and there are enough seats for many people.
Food: Great generally with good presentation. Fries are a little disappointing.
Service: Friendly staff and well prepared for the guest. Important things were well informed.
Environment: Great indoor and outdoor option.
The kind of place you want to be on a nice, sunny day. Good selection of beers on tap. Food was spot on. Would definitely return on my next visit to Auckland!

Come here with your friends if you are looking for a pub that sells really good food and has great vibes. I tried a variety of dishes and they were all pretty solid. Definitely worth checking this place out if you are ever in Auckland CBD.
Ordered items:
- Sweat shop platter: 👍 7.3/10
- Pork belly 👍 7.5/10
- Jerk chicken (with dirty rice)
- Pepperoni pizza 👍 7.2
Sweatshop platter (Popcorn prawn, Korean fried chicken, roasted cauliflower, jalapeno rice ball, truffle fries, cheesy garlic pizza bread):
All of the components were executed nicely. I would say my favourite of the bunch was the roasted cauliflower. I loved how it just just jam packed full of spices and flavour , the cauliflower florets were also nicely roasted which provides an amazing crispy texture.
Pork belly (with tamarind glaze cauliflower puree, candied cashews):
The pork belly was not amazingly soft and did require a bit of a bite. However it was definitely not dry or overcooked. The pork was nice and crispy on the outside as they did a really good job with the sear. Pork had a nice smoky and porky flavour which worked really well with the other elements on the plate.

Sweatshop has always been one of my fave venues in city due to the great music and awesome terrace so I decided that I’d pick it for a friends birthday function. We hired out the velvet room and arranged a silent disco and it was class! Perfect space for our crew and the whole experience from initial organising to the execution was amazing! The team on the day were super helpful and my group had the best time! Food was also super yum! Would deffo recommend if anyone else is looking for a space for a party and I’ll 100% be back to enjoy some sunshine on the deck this summer! Thanks guys!
went here for a beers, bites and bikes festival. really cute place!!! had the second most delish burger of my whole life (best in nz for sure) (smash burger) good music, good vibes. cute patio, kind workers.
Popped in two weeks ago for the chicken n waffles event done the first Saturday of the month.
Simple but done really well. The chicken was so tasty, moist and coating just the bees knees!!! The accompanying maple syrup was awesome along with the buttermilk waffles.
If you can, get in there and fill ya boots!!
Sweat Shop as a function venue was a big success. We continue to be impressed by the Joylab group. It is so easy to do an event with them. And, once again, the food was legit!!
Quite surprised by some of the reviews on here. We seriously couldn't fault our night here if we tried our hardest. Started with drinks and went on to order a Meat Sweats Platter, Buttermilk Chicken and Jalapeno Poppers. The service was fast and friendly. A tab was opened for us to keep things simple for ordering. The food arrived rather quickly and made the two of us say wow about 10 times. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for either a drink or a full meal.
Just wanted to share some love for your service yesterday!
Our waitress was so lovely and very accommodating for my low carb lifestyle, even asking if I wanted a side salad and lettuce bun - something I didn't know i could request! Really appreciated her and very thankful 😊
