Far gone.

Had the worst bar tender just was so Angry at everyone she was serving and I was told by another bar tender they didn't get on with Chloe and then when we left the bouncer Said the same thing.such a horrible experience!

Always a good vibe here. Staff are super fun and friendly. Thanks for another great night.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here last night. Friendly staff, and a great singer/guitarist.

Not cheap though.

Great staff. Customers always keen to chat. Friendly welcoming vibe. Great place to meet new people.

We are from the UK but our 2 children live in Auckland. We always love going to Grand Central but on the 3 visits we have made this time we have been charged 3 different prices for the same wine. Sometimes 10 dollars a glass, sometimes 12 and sometimes 16. It makes us feel a little ripped off, maybe as we are not locals but we are not certain we will return.

Nice interior and helpful staff. They'll make your cocktail based on what tastes you like so it helps to have an idea what that is!

Can’t complain. I wasn’t there for particularly long, but it’s nice to have a decent outside area where you can actually talk to the people you are with, without having to shout at each other. And of course if that’s your jam, just head on inside. Drinks were good, staff seemed friendly, and in control. Great atmosphere, and the music was live - surprising for a small place.

It used to be a place my Malaysian friend took me to to play for the open mic night on Monday and i didn't really like the kind of music played here, but i end up being here with my mates and am listening to some of the same songs again. My friend's gone now but I'm still here, it's just comfortable for the welcoming atmosphere for musicians

For late night cheeky drinks. You can't go wrong with grand central. A classic spot for a ponsonby Rd night out.

The finest establishment in Auckland. Always great live music and the staff are bloody brilliant. Nowhere better for a beer and boogie on the weekend.

Had a birthday function tonight, Stephen behind the bar was the host with the most for us. Could not have had a better night. Cheers

A place that is one of the last vestiges of live music in a Auckland and has been so for as long as I remember. Its important and Auckland needs more places like this. Grand Central rocks!

Apparently liquor laws doesn't apply here if you know the bar staff and managers.yet your night might get ruined there if you don't, because you look too tired for a drink. Very unprofessional.

One of the worst neighbors we have had. They constantly blast music from speakers past their allowed operating hours (most of the time to empty seats in the sidewalk) whilst in a residential/ commercial zone. Careless for the health of people who live just meters from them while justifying their behaviors on grandfathered alcohol license terms — not on what would build a good community.

Been a fan of this place for years the music on most nights is great hidden gem is upstairs to the right of the toilets along with 3 other cool spaces to share a beer with your mates never once have I seen any drama door staff do a great job. Safe place to get a glow on

Cool place with good live music. However maybe the rudest and most obnoxious girl behind the bar. Shouting at the other bartender while he was trying to serve us. Credit to him for having to deal with her for a full shift.

Nice bar with a nice vibe and ambience. Pretty small a place but still not bad. Drinks and prices are okay considering the location. There could be more events organised to promote customer engagement and promotion in my opinion.

Last night my friends left me to uber home. I don't think I realized just how drink I was - everything kinda caught up with me at once. But one of your security/bouncers saw me stumbling and instead of laughing at the white girl wasted, they made sure I was okay and watched me get into my uber. I am so grateful to that kind man, thank you for quality people

Went there for a close mates farewell. Excellent drinks, great taste for an even better price. The chat from the bar staff was also great. Overall, would recommend.
