Pakage Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Where's a nice (but not snooty) bar in town to take a lady for a quiet drink and a chat? Any pro tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taiko Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Rakinos on a weeknight has always done me well. (As long as you can secure a couch.) No pretension, warm lighting, and a really relaxed environment. Plus, the music is appropriately non-housey. Or you could always try Pasha... Good luck!

Grind Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Rakinos is a good place midweek for a quiet drink, nice food there too, also Biotta(?) at Sky City. They serve Spanish tapas and it's pretty swt! Or Corner Bar if she's an alcoholic and you want to enjoy a nice rare whisky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teret Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Corner Bar if she's an alcoholic and you want to enjoy a nice rare whisky This. Serious heat on the beer, wine and spirit lists and you can get Al Volos brought over the road for you. Ugh actual saliva production at the thought of Corner Bar:icon_drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grind Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That's Corner Store.. I was thinking of Corner Bar on Shortland St.. (or is it the other way round?) both are fucken awesome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekah Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 corner store is the one at the top of mt eden road... might i suggest gypsy tea room in west lynn? sometimes hard to find a seat but an excellent wine list... also cartel on symonds street beneath squid row - next level cocktails and pretty impressive underground place - she will probably think you're cool. kinda expenno though. the ginger minx down in mt eden valley has lovely decor and wicked drinks with not particularly intrusive music. other awesome bars i can think that would be perfect for a date would be 24/7 and charlies on krd, the sports bar on symonds street and the otahuhu tavern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick H Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Auckland is really spoilt for choice with these kinds of places. I particularly miss Rakinos but all the above suggestions are good. If your looking for somewhere really intimate there is a good place in Herne Bay. Cant remember the name but its a small place on the corner of Jervois and a road coming off it, near the bottom of Jervois before it curves around. Small place, capacity 20 odd, great winelist, mood lighting, nice ambience and music. Chances of intimacy later the evening - highly increased by this bar.
