   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience here last Saturday 9th Aug! Service was fantastic – Laura and Jack were great, and a special shout-out to Nikita at the bar who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our night enjoyable. The food was delicious, served all at the same time, and even with some last-minute changes, the kitchen delivered perfectly. Highly recommend this place for great service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere!

   I was so excited to return here for your onion rings, which used to be the best, honestly. But you’ve changed how you make them, and they taste awful now. I’m leaving my entire order and walking out

   Quite a lacklustre experience, to be honest. Even with a First Table booking, I’m not sure it was worth it—might take a while before I consider coming back. I came in feeling hopeful, but like a few other reviews have mentioned, something just felt a bit off. The staff were genuinely friendly, which I appreciated, but service-wise, things weren’t quite on point. We were told someone would be over in a few minutes, but several other tables were served before we even had the chance to place a food or drink order. We weren’t in a rush, so it wasn’t a huge deal, but honestly, I’ve had quicker service at Macca’s. When someone finally came by—about 15 minutes later—they were apologetic, which was polite, but considering the place was pretty quiet (even for a Friday night), I expected a bit more prompt attention. Was the food worth the wait? Sadly not. The fish and chips arrived cold, the batter was stale, and the fish itself was dry and overcooked. The fried chicken had similar issues—overdone, tough batter, and barely any seasoning, while being quite tough to chew. The only saving grace was the garlic loaf, which was hot and flavourful. Maybe we needed a few more drinks to lift the mood? I get that this venue leans more towards a social vibe, which is great, but I still expect the food to be at least half-decent at any venue. Overall, a bit disappointing. Maybe I’ll come back at some point, as it seems like a promising venue – perhaps it was just an off night?

   We booked out Sweatshop for our wedding reception & it was everything we dreamed of! Perfect location with a great view of the Sky Tower. The food was amazing and everyone raved about it. The atmosphere was 10/10 and the support from the team at Sweatshop was unbeatable. Thanks for being part of our perfect night.

   The Wagyu beef burger is super juicy and the cheese is melted. One the best burger. Awesome atmosphere and deck.

   The kind of place you want to be on a nice, sunny day. Good selection of beers on tap. Food was spot on. Would definitely return on my next visit to Auckland!

   Great place and there are enough seats for many people. Food: Great generally with good presentation. Fries are a little disappointing. Service: Friendly staff and well prepared for the guest. Important things were well informed. Environment: Great indoor and outdoor option.
