It’s dark, grungy and intimate. Welcome to Whammy, the best dive bar Auckland. The venue has long been an incubator for underground bands and musicians on the rise, but it’s also a favourite haunt for established acts that love the close-quarters atmosphere and crowd interaction.

Located in the middle of the nightlife action on Karangahape Road (down the stairs inside St Kevins Arcade), it’s a must-visit for anyone needing their alternative music fix.
