 | |  |  | The Owl Bar: A beer on K-Road | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
As soon as I spotted the blue and white owl logo of The Owl Bar on Auckland's Karangahape Road, I felt as though I had to go in for a beer!!!
The bar's logo has a remarkable similarity to that of my beloved football club, Sheffield Wednesday!! I'd like to think that the bar is owned by an exiled SWFC fan, but I never managed to ascertain whether or not that is the case!
So, one afternoon I popped in for a quick beer.
This is very much a local pub rather than a place for tourists to visit. The pub's interior has a separate room full of fruit machines (or "pokies" as they are known locally) and a pool table.
The few clientele that were in the bar at the time of my visit were trying their luck on the fruit machines. Given the price of the beers here, I probably should have done likewise!! ;-)
Unfortunately, the pub offers no beers on tap, but it does have a reasonable selection of expensive bottled beers. I paid 5.50 NZD for a 330ml bottle of Steinlager
Unless you're a Wednesdayite like me, there is no reason to make a special effort to visit this bar. However, if you're looking for a beer on K-Road, this is as good a place as any! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 368 Karangahape RoadPhone: 09 309 9803

| | | | Galatos,Ploom,420,Khuja....the list goes on!: The Best in the West! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Ok,I've been to the nightlife in many western countries (USA,Aussie,UK) and let me tell you - lil ol NZ rocks the house if you know where to go!Feel like Top 20 music,shakin' your booty to Beyonce?Head to the Viaduct in Downtown,with Top 20 clubs like Degree,Waterfront,Coast Bar,Float and more!(Also,the Latino club Wildfire and Minus 5,a bar made entirely of ice!!!).If you feel like a retro night,head to Boogie Wonderland just in the Britomart Complex!For good hip hop,check out The Lounge on High Street,which plays good stuff like Scribe,Kelis,Mase,Nelly etc.,or try 420 on K'Rd,or Ploom on Galatos street downstairs from Galatos Bar,off K Rd.It usually has battles and an MC with lotsa Kiwi hip hop.For a Jamaican Bahamas music,go to the Khuja Lounge,at the top of Queen Street.For all you hard house people,stick to K'Rd - places like Ink,Blend,Ibiza,Kiss Bar,Verona and many more play all that stuff (not really me).And,thats just the beginning!Auckland is dotted with great clubbing scenes,whether it be Parnall,Newmarket,Ponsonby,the City or even funky strips in Manukau or Takapuna!Try it - it may surprise you!
Most places are flexible - although the Viaduct clubs usually insist on men wearing collars.Girls usually wear minis,heals and tops or jeans,heels and tops.Just look stylish,becuase everyone else looks pretty damn good!!!

If you are looking for something a little ‘hotter’ in nightspots then this is claimed (by them) to be the hottest spot in Auckland. Lots of ladies in quite a flashy décor complete with lasers, lights waterfalls and smoke (for effect). They also claim to have a large range of alcoholic choices which are not available anywhere else in NZ. There are also private rooms and yes, it is a strip club and not personally checked out by the writer. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: 55 Customs Street
