The Better Bar Company is New Zealand’s leading Irish and Gastro Pub Operator. From humble beginnings with a couple of Irish Pubs in the Viaduct the group has grown to 8 sites across Auckland.
We pride ourselves on being your local wherever you are; a place you can have a few pints (or a cheeky red), some great tucka, a bit of banter with your bar tender and a great night out! We’re the place you go with your mates (or your Mrs) to share some laughs, watch the game and satisfy your hunger with some hearty pub food.
Mostly we are a hospitality business and its our job to make you feel welcome and at home so we hope to see you for a drink soon.
