This is Auckland’s hottest place to go on a night out. It has a Hollywood vibe to it with its elaborate cocktail list and fancy décor. The music is always great here on Friday and Saturday nights, even Wednesday’s it is packed out. You will always see a long line of people waiting to get in. Once you walk up the stairs, it is hard to believe that you are still in Auckland. We are used to dingy nightclubs and bars with awkward layouts and creepy patrons but at the Roxy it is much the opposite. The Roxy offers a chic and glamourous experience however you can still have a dance and look like an idiot. I especially love the not-so-outdoor area which is covered so it seems you are still inside but smoking is allowed as it is fully open out the sides. Great place, definitely my favourite joint.
Now this is certainly a big step up from your average byo night with mates. We enjoyed the degustation menu of 5 lovely plates with matching wines. My favourite meal for the night was the salmon which had been marinated for over 4 hours. The staff here are all very professional, well trained and well presented. We all enjoyed having each meal and wine explained to us in detail. They also catered for the two vegans in our group which were equally as impressed. Very classy night out, ideal for a very (very) special occasion.
If the epic menu, the staff (hehe) or the reviews didn't have you salivating - you should see our wine wall. A trade secret: the poached crayfish is often left by the wayside (as it isn't included in either our 5- or 9- course degustation) but it is absolutely divine. Pair with a bottle of the ever-elegant Hans Herzog Viognier from Marlborough... look forward to seeing you in-house.
