The Kingslander

Awesome central Auckland business. Paid parking outside, yet CLEAR way from 4pm to 6pm.so best to park outside venue from 6pm onwards. Great food, drinks, location and events. Try out Salsa on Wednesdays 8pm with Coco Salsa Con, and Quiz nights on Tuesdays

Went to this venue for a private function recently but have been previously for lunch etc. Great selection of beers on tap and has quality food options. Highly recommended if going to a event near busy like rugby or a concert and the near by Eden Park.

I ordered uber eats. Was trying to be healthy. Ordered a Caesar Salad. What arrived was deep fried chicken salad, with no egg. All for the price of $21.50. Not happy at all. And not as advertised. It also said ‘poached chicken’ which is why I chose it. Unpleasant and not nice either. This is not acceptable. And false advertising.

Visit Wednesday at 8: 00 to learn bachata.
Many people learn for 1 hour
I enjoyed social media from 9 o’clock.
The atmosphere was nice and it was a treat for $10.

Since I'm traveling, I only go once.
If I lived in New Zealand, I would probably go there every week.

This is one of the best places to go with family hands down, the slander on kings is unacceptable though. I used to come here with my grandad and eat the 'Royal Heist' burger. We stopped coming ever since he was arrested for tax evasion. I'll miss that man

A below average sized portion of fish n chips and a sprinkle of poorly cooked calamari, served on a small size pizza board, does not equal a Fisherman’s Platter in my book. For the price of $30, I was expecting a lot more…cutlery and napkins would have been a good start. Of which I had to queue at the busy bar for. Very disappointing.

Thursday open mic was great, with fantastic saxophone player Andrew Miller from Mema Wilda Band jumping in with many talented singers & musicians. Will be back again! Food & service all good too, and generally a nice vibe.

Recently I made a phone reservation for Sunday lunch for 15 people. Found the staff member very pleasant and happy to make my reservation, he even repeated the day and date back to me to check was correct and took my contact phone number.
We arrived for our lunch was very disappointed to find a note on the door stating they were closed for a staff function so I called twice but was no answer so we all went elsewhere. No opportunity to review the food or service unfortunately so giving a 4 star rating due to absolute lack of communication and great inconvenience caused to our group. Nevertheless we were all made very welcome and spent our money at a nearby cafe/bar with amazing food, cocktails and excellent service.
A simple phone call prior to say they are closed for whatever reason would have been appreciated so we could make other arrangements.

When we arrived and found space at a table they refused to clear the previous customers mess even after we had ordered. Glassware was not clean. Very unenthusiastic service not willing to help or make the experience inviting.

Great service, friendly staff, humming atmosphere. I went with some friends before the gunsnroses concert at eden Park. I strongly recommend booking a table if there is an event on at Eden Park. This place packed out very quickly. The food is good too, so make sure you grab some snacks.

Gotta give this bar an honest review since so many people complained about the food and hygiene. Came here on Thursday night all u can eat ribs & open mic. It’s exactly what I imagine a greasy old bar with cool vibe is. The ribs are very nice, actually way nicer than what I had at other all u can eat places, yes, it’s not sparkling clean, but I didn’t go to an old bar expecting it that way. Love the open mic! So many cool people performing. Will be back!

Shocking service. Ordered food and the wrong food was delivered. Tried to make the staff member aware and was told that we have food and we should just f****n eat it.
Hands down worst service I’ve ever received.
Will never visit again!

These guys have good screens that's about it. Probably short staffed as they never cleared our table and we were there for over an hour. Meh

Came here a couple weeks ago and had a terrible experience with the bar manager. He was unnecessarily aggressive just because we stood close to the bar. Came from around the bar to threaten me that I was gonna get kicked out even though I didn’t know I couldn’t stand there (?). Shouted at me, the only woman in the group. Not surprised at his misogynistic, extremely irrational behaviour.

Pumping bar during the rugby at Eden Park. Staff were great, floors were very sticky, but I'm sure that was due to how busy it was.

Never ever order from this place.

Wendy's does a better job for less.

Had to return the most expensive smallish burgers minus Curly fries that we ordered via UberEATS.

One burger had its order squished with beer battered fries.

Asked for a refund from the bar and they said I can only get the refund from UberEATS.

For a $62 meal like this, you're better off getting a meal elsewhere.

Poor Food - it’s tasteless and got no Seasoning in any dishes. Everything is deep fried on the menu. Ordered Calamari was chew couldn’t eat, Polenta chips smelt like cooked in very old deep fryer oil. Place itself is sticky Wooden floors and smelt weird as you walk in… Owner was good to chat with you can do far better!

One of those feel good bars that just does the job. Not many bells and whistles. Good beer and good food that hits the spot.

Food from previous do left on the floor, floors were sticky. Toilets we're yuck, had to stand over the bowl (which had no seat) to close the door. Served wine in a broken glass. Men using ladies loo. Staff were fabulous, food was yummo. Definitely go back

The service was good, I think they may have been short staffed but they managed quite well. The food however, I'm a vegan and and asked for side dishes to be put together as a meal. Portobello mushrooms were a side. I got a bowl of gravy and tiny pieces of mushrooms which probably would not have been more then a spoonful in the gravy. The meal itself was really tiny for the value. Atmosphere was good. Would give it one more try but if dealt the same. Well we'll see.
