Premium rum, cocktail and cigar bar Racket is an atmospheric late-night haunt notable for its rustic candlelit interior, outdoor fireside seating and live music into the small hours.

Racket is home to New Zealand’s finest collection of premium rum, an extensive selection of expertly made cocktails and a fridge full of international beers.

It’s also one of Auckland’s entertainment hotspots, with live bands and DJs playing till the early hours six days a week.

Park for $2.50 per hour at the Downtown car park to a maximum of $15.50 on evenings and weekends. Find out more
