Located on the 38th floor of the Voco Auckland City Centre hotel, this is Tāmaki Makaurau's highest-altitude bar.

It has slightly dizzying views out over both the Waitematā Harbour and the Waitākere Ranges. An open-air deck means you can make the most of the view while enjoying a signature seasonal cocktail.

The interiors are polished and warm-toned, with art deco-inspired accents such as gleaming round gold tables, curved pendant lights mounted on the walls and dowelled brown leather surrounding the bar.

Aiming to make the most of local produce and makers, the food menu mostly comprises small plates such as market fish crudo with salsa verde, grapefruit and chilli, New Zealand rock oysters, and pumpkin and goat’s cheese arancini – plus antipasti and cheese platters to share.

Cocktails lean towards New Zealand-made boutique spirits, such as Roots Marlborough gin and Broken Heart rum from Queenstown – along with some imported whiskies and mezcal.
