nice little wine bar to enjoy a quiet get together with friends. Great wine selection

Molten has an amazing wine list which is best enjoyed in the cool courtyard. 

Join Sven at his amazing watering hole nestled in the heart of Mt Eden. The amazing interior reveals 3 separate moodily lit areas: the main bar, the upper private boudoir-esque nook, or outside to nestle beneath the vines. This place is classy to the core.

Had an enjoyable date night here at Moltens Wine Bar (nxt to their famous restaurant). Such a beautiful atmosphere, smooth music and dim lighting for a special occasion! We had a range of tapas incl Their Angus Steak Tartare (its raw but of course herb-marinated with horse radish inside) it came with some crispy bread slices and was amazing!   The Salt and pepper calamari was devine and we finished off with the Oysters Kilpatprick (they were incredible)!  With an ever so slight dropping of worstechire, crispy tiny bacon bits, herbs and (being big hunter gatherers of our very own oysters) we asked what the 'slight crunch' was and told shallotts WOAH!  thanks for the tip Molten! So look forward to returning here!  and look forward to checking out the restaurant next door.  (Pork belly sounds devine)!

This is what so many places strive to reach and rarely achieve. Well done!

and awesome ambiance inside love this spot...well done guys

I feel spoilt having this jewel just up the road. Excellent small plates ro share at a very reasonable price, great cocktails and slick but warm service . The courtyard, shared with Molten restaurant nextdoor, is fragrant with star jasmine and speckled with fairy lights.so cute.try everything on the menu, especially the hand cut fries with truffle mayo, and ma's dutch krokettes.

Covered courtyard area with heaters and blankets to keep you toasty  warm in the winter.  Great beer selection including beers from the Hallertau bar.  And amazing food - the chips are to die for.  Great atmosphere!

Great food to share in the cosy booths. Tapas are good size portions, suggest the haloumi and the squid. Friendly staff. Good wine list. Upstairs apparently not as noisy as downstairs, so depending on your mood select which space. Great pre concert or movie spot.

This place is the sister to Molten Restaurant (next door) and like the name suggests, it's a watering hole. The ambient lighting and slightly old world decor makes for a lovely intimate setting , perfect for a date night! Then there is the nice little courtyard for all you dirty smokers. Friendly bar staff too. Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is amazing!.
