Great barman, great atmosphere, not too busy. Lovely cosy place to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail. Will come back for sure.

Stopped by for post-dinner birthday drinks. The place is located behind curtains at the far end of the K'Rd Food Workshop. We managed to get a table for about 12 without booking. After being seated and given menus, the staff took our order from the table. The place was fairly quiet, compared to the other places. It had a good ambiance so a good place to enjoy a few drinks. The menu had a selection of beers, wine and cocktails.
Edit: We tried to do a gin tasting session but they booked the wrong date. Ended up getting other things but it was nice.

The selections of gins was impressive. The bar staff were very knowledgeable and super nice. We had a great time here.

My favorite spot tucked away on krd with the best cocktails, cheese toasties, and cozy atmosphere!! Staff truly go the extra mile to make u feel welcome and have great banter. Perfect spot for a quiet date night during the week or a big night out during the weekend, and huge variety of drinks with something for everyone. Great vibes plus has iconic kiwi snacks (e.g. chips&onion dip) and drinks (only bar I've seen that offers purple goannas) plus the asahi on tap is better than the bottles. Hats off to Ethan, liana and madi for their excellent service!

We ended up at Lovebucket in K Rd in search of well-endorsed cocktail buckets or so I believed, and I was instantly taken aback by this dark brooding cocktail bar with a lounge DJ and tables full of patrons in this back-of-the-way bar. The vibe was evocative, relaxed, somewhat clandestine and heady.
We ordered a round of cocktails and were immediately impressed. It was only one round as we were expected elsewhere. This was a return visit place!

One of our favourite bars on K Rd. Spacious and ambient with an amazing range of boutique gins plus a decent selection of craft beer and non-alcoholic beverages .

I had the most awesome service from my girl Liana, top notch with service on the drinks and extremely hospitable. Can’t overstate how incredible she made our night, highly recommend a pay raise for this lovely lady
Alex Simmons
Loved it. Nice quiet atmosphere, great drink selection, some food available but you can also get food from the Vietnamese joint out front delivered to your table. Staff are really nice and let you sample if you can't decide what gin to get

Had a lovely cocktail. Music was loud making if difficult to talk.
John Reilly
A good spot for a night out with friends. An interesting selection of beers, wine, and cocktails. Enjoyed the mulled cider. A DJ playing some music, not the place for a quiet chat when the music is on, but a great atmosphere for a night out. There is food available as well. Service was great!

Another cool bar in Auckland. <br/>It’s hidden so it’s easy to miss but definitely somewhere you’d want to go with a few friends, sip on your drink and chat in their dim lit lounge.<br/>All their wine are Natural which I absolutely love and I tried their Orange wine which was 👌🏻<br/>
David Harvey
Nice atmosphere with wooden floors and nice beers. The staff were awesome and made sure I got around the venue safely. Great place to hang out with friends.

Good atmosphere but unfortunately our experience was ruined by the curly haired bartender. When our sober driver asked if they had a non alcoholic cocktail he responded with “absolutely **** not, we make our drinks strong and delicious” way to go being a responsible liquor outlet & making our driver feel like they have to drink! 1 star won’t be back

Cozy bar with an interesting wine list and cocktails that are on point. The G&T on tap is dangerously good. All about quality while still keeping it fun!
Yorgen
Wonderfully hidden, this place is perfect to chill and enjoy the eclectic ambience, hear some good oldies and relax along with quite unique beverages. Very intimate and well maintained. Haven't tried the food but will definetely give it a go in our next visit.
Donna&Shane
Just came in here to try a cocktail... they had just opened so was abit hard to judge the atmosphere but maybe not quite for us. <br/>Music more for younger crowd!!<br/>Friendly service... wasn't hungry yet but interesting drinks selection.
Jaffa
Amazing cocktail bar!!! <br/>Cute cozy and quick service... bar service not table service... but great atmosphere for post dinner drinks!<br/>DJ onsite for entertainment and mood setting!

A fantastic find. <br/><br/>It’s rare to find a place where ambience matches quality of drinks and food being served. We were lucky to come across this last year and thinking of it for months materialised in us visiting last night. Looking around, the ambience was a mix of rustic and timeless . It was cozy, with the music being played not at all overpowering to the point of you struggling to hear your own conversations. <br/><br/>To begin with, we were offered complimentary roasted pumpkin seeds and soda water, which was a nice touch and surprisingly tasty! Wanting to sample the menus, we ordered the Gorgonzola Dolce and one of the meats. It came out as a platter with jelly, pickles, crackers and nuts. The presentation was tasteful and the flavours delicious, with the mustard seeds having an unexpected wasabi kick. It was definitely one of the best platters I’ve ever been served at a bar/restaurant, and I’ve had my fair share of disappointing vineyard offerings. <br/><br/>We also ended up ordering three drinks which impressed us further. I could taste the subtle notes and the complexities in the flavours. Even though I don’t normally enjoy stronger drinks, I still appreciated every drink as it’s evident that these guys have something special; the passion and skill needed to make this more than “just” a bar. <br/><br/>I feel compelled to go back. <br/><br/>Food: 4.5/5<br/>Service: 4.5/5<br/>Presentation: 4.5/5<br/>Price: 3/5
