“I’ve been going to Vultures for years now and keep returning. They offer a large array of different craft beers that cater to a wide variety of tastes and preferences & often play host to beer events from breweries both local and from afar. There is typically sport on the various large screen TV’s. At time’s it can be difficult to get a seat or be served but that’s because it’s a popular spot in a prime central Auckland location so to be expected.” –Tim O’Brien

“Proper beer-drinkers heaven. Set up in more of a beer hall-style than your average bar, 16 Tun has an atmosphere best suited to good chat and enjoyment of a good range of beers. Two bottle selections and rotating taps make for a very easy discovery of new beers. Ask the bar staff for recommendations and their advice and a few free tasters to ensure you get just the right pint.” –J.G. Seabrook
