Rocketman – Auckland

Through the red door beside Caretaker and up the stairs, you’ll find this retro-futuristic bar – complete with an exposed aeroplane fuselage for a back bar, deco touches throughout, and moody lighting splashed across a mural of the eponymous rocket.

Expect a soundtrack of 90s hip-hop in the quieter times, plus live music every weekend, occasional comedy nights, cocktail competitions, and trivia.

With deep leather booths and lots of dark corners, it's the perfect place to enjoy a quiet dram, catch up with friends, and explore the delightful selection of whiskies, cocktails and other beverages on offer.
