This place has just opened up in Britomart and it used to be the popular Agents and Merchants. It had big shoes to fill because it was a favourite with everyone and they have definitely surpassed expectations with this one. It is definitely now my favourite place to come on a night out or for a quiet drink even. Earlier in the evenings it transforms from a chilled relaxed vibe to a packed and lively place to dance in the evenings on the weekend. Also apparently the food here is amazing (Southern style themed) but I have not been here to eat yet - soon!
Had a great time here with some girlfriends on Saturday night! Love what they’ve done with the place - it feels as through you’ve left Auckland far behind for some speakeasy in Southern America. We ordered a variety of plates to share and, despite being packed, the food came out very fast. Everything was delicious, especially loved the chicken and waffles and the flat iron steak! Oh and the dessert of course - pecan pie with bourbon ice cream. Amazing.
I had heard about this little place a few weeks before it opened and let me tell you now, I had really high expectations. A friend and I swung by on the second night they were open and my oh my I have found my new favourite Saturday night spot. I have never been to New Orlean’s but if the bars are anything like this then put me on a plane because I need to check them out. This place has a vibe that you will find no where else in Auckland, there is everything to love about Orleans.
