Best spot to watch live music in New Zealand

"As a venue it seems like Galatos isn’t used as much as it used to be. Anyways, every so often the venue hosts a great show and the dingy, cave like establishment comes to life. Although the sound is sometimes lacking, the venue makes up for it in character."

"Known to host a lot of great local and international bands the Kings Arms is one of Auckland’s premier live venues. The venue may not look like much but it is steeped in Kiwi music history and when the venue is packed it really comes to life."
