Snickel Lane is more than just a dining spot; it’s a part of Auckland’s evolving landscape. Originating in a 16-tower office block from 1989, the design showcases a harmonious blend of contemporary and vintage elements. With recycled materials like old butcher's tiles, charmingly restored from local demolition yards, the space exudes a raw, urban ambience. The cobblestone flooring and exposed recycled barn timber ceiling add to the grunge feel, making it a true architectural gem. 

The vibe is accentuated by the neon-lit Fort Lane entrance, inspired by Swedish artist David Svensson's 'Eyelight Lane.' Inside, the art continues to bloom with ELAM School of Fine Arts students competing to have their work displayed, adding a creative flair to the lane. So, why wait? Come and discover Auckland’s coolest laneway precinct and savour a truly vibrant experience.
