Inspired by the laneways of Melbourne and the Snickelways of York, Auckland city’s very own Snickel Lane is tucked between Fort Lane and Commerce St – making it a convenient place to stop by if you are near Britomart, heading to Spark Arena, or close by on Queen St or High St.
The design of this little lane embraces the character and history of the surrounding area, and the fit-out incorporates recycled materials like old butcher tiles handpicked from local demolition yards and recycled barn timber. The surrounding walls are adorned with vibrant art, which will be updated annually by students of the ELAM School of Fine Arts.
Whether you are after a bite to eat on your lunch break, a post work drink, or a pre-show dinner, grab a table in the shared space and enjoy some quality food and drinks from any of the outlets.
Tantalus Estate, Alibi Brewing Co. and Waiheke Distilling Co. have come together to bring a brand new bar in Snickel Lane, this unique bar is your gateway to relaxed and vibrant island vibes - right in the heart of the city.
Mad Samurai is a collaboration between two Japanese restaurateurs and two New Zealanders, bringing a Kiwi take on Japanese cuisine. Mad Samurai combines relaxed style Izakaya dining (shared plates) with a speciality in Wagyu beef dishes.
Altezano Brothers is a family-owned coffee roasting company who aim to provide the most enjoyable cup of coffee in both quality and flavour. Grab a long black, flat white, cold brew, whatever pleases your taste buds and enjoy in Snickel Lane or on the go.
Adding some more pop of colour to the lane is the Snickel Lane Florist, a full service florist offering flowers and a unique gift range for all occasions. A great place to stop by if you wanting to freshen up your work desk or home.
While we’re sure you’re already convinced Snickel Lane is a great place to visit, as an added bonus, you are able to enjoy free Wi-Fi when you are there.
