Thursday | Darling after dark

Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2025 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

Get ready for Auckland’s next event at Darling on Drake, a stylish rooftop bar & restaurant with indoor chic and a sprawling sun‑soaked terrace overlooking Victoria Park now with vibrant Euro‑Summer theme, Mediterranean cocktails (spritzes, chilled rosé), fresh share plates, DJs with great tunes, and light bites inspired by Ibiza‑style summer evenings.
