Bar Albert

Perched on the 38th floor of Voco Auckland, Bar Albert offers a drinking experience like no other. As the highest bar in New Zealand, it boasts unobstructed views of the Auckland skyline, stretching all the way to the Waitakere Ranges. But it's not just the views that will take your breath away.

Upon entering, you'll be enveloped in the glitz, glamour, and Gatsby vibes of the space, with a stunning velvet curtain, plush leather couches, and accents of gold and brown. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date or a catch-up with friends.

The drinks menu is equally impressive. House-made pistachio and rosewater orgeat; chamomile-infused Shackelton blended scotch and Scapegrace dry gin are just a few of the seasonal ingredients used to make a rather dangerously good lineup of cocktails here, which are named after streets in Auckland, such as Queen Street and Chancery Street.

But don't worry if cocktails aren't your thing; Bar Albert also offers a variety of other beverages, including signature G&Ts, regional and foreign wines, bubbles, beers, ciders, and spirits.

To complement your drinks, nibble on a charcuterie board or cheese platter and add a few small dishes to share, including the pumpkin and goat cheese arancini and the Tuscan fried chicken—both are so tasty!

Don’t forget to soak in the breathtaking views while sipping on your delicious cocktails as the evening sun lights up the Auckland skyline with beautiful orange hues. There really isn't anything else in Auckland like it. 

No need to say that Bar Albert is about to become your new favourite drinking spot if sipping tipples while admiring sky-high views is your thing.
