Bar 101 Auckland - Auckland CBD

Literally the only reason this place is still open is cause of the $3 cruisers. - Always got people looking for fights outside the club - The bouncers have more muscle than brain, they're extremely obnoxious and rude - The music hasn't been updated in god knows how long. Seriously every time I've gone they play the same music - The bathrooms are from your worst nightmare, do they even get cleaned? Probably not. The list goes on. If you're wanting to go to town don't bother with Bar101. Just have predrinks before heading to a proper club if you're on a budget.

I found a pleasant atmosphere a well priced basic hamburger, large circular size, understandable thin patty. Although nice and very good coffee. I would recommend high heat short cook to allow for a more tender patty. A bit overcooked. Better to allow the patty to be a bit pink. Char grilling allows for this, hot charming on the outside. Perhaps you can ask if people prefer full cooking, I would warn them that that will lead to a tougher patty. I have yet to try their pizza but I am sure it will be good. Each one is done like my favourite place individually at the time. Takes a bit more time, but quality takes love and bit longer. I look forward to going back.

The songs are average just same old stuff djs not very talented no one’s tries to be creative just a bunch of loonies

Literally the most average bar. Only people that go here are freshly turned 18 year-olds and old guys that want to get with them.

This club has forever lost my patronage after last night when I had to pick up my crying partner who had been kicked out as her rushing to the bathroom was reported as her throwing up. On top of this she calmy informed staff that she was experiencing heart burn due to forgetting her medication, to which security replied "I don't care you need to leave." The nail in the coffin was denying her acess to the bathroom...

had a positive experience here with security who escorted a guy out promptly after seeing how uncomfortable my friends and I were and checking in with us. drinks are pretty cheap too

Drinks were watered down, no one’s dancing, the music was so boring no wonder no one’s dancing. Just one table feeling the party the rest of the club feels dead. Not worth the wait and the $5 entrance. Wouldve been more fun playing a music on my phone and dancing on the street. Even the DJs feel dead. Not coming back.

I came here last Saturday and had a very unpleasant and uncomfortable experience with the staff. My friends and I had just come inside and we stopped in the disability bathroom on the way up the stairs. My sober friend used the toilet while I stood outside in the stair well (I was also sober). A girl came to clean the bathroom and I let her know someone was in there, he won't be long, and we just had small talk. Then a security guard came and also talked to the girl. It was all pretty friendly and normal but then the situation became passive aggressive. The girl said she was waiting for a guy to come out of the bathroom and the guard asked her if she has been waiting a while, she said yes she had, and the guard offered to "get him out". At this point I intervened, it had only been a minute since the girl started waiting, and my friend was just using the bathroom so there was no need to "get him out". I said he was sober just incase they thought he was throwing up. The guard started knocking on the door and I tried to stop him. I told him he was literally just peeing in there and there was nothing more to it. Then the guard said "well it doesn't normally take a guy that long to pee" and "is he your boyfriend or something". These were very unnessecary comments, and my friend is trans so obviously he isn't going to piss like a cis guy. I just said something like "he's just peeing, he's completely sober, there's nothing dodgy is going on in there. You don't have to open the door". I was pretty worried at this point because my friend was in a vulnerable position and it would've been very disarming if this guard suddenly burst into the bathroom. The security guard ended up opening the bathroom door and going in, but luckily my friend was coming out at the same time. You would think, that the guard and I both being sober, we would engage in a rational conversation, understand eachother, and not escalate a situation which does not need escalating. The girl cleaning didn't help with the "I've been waiting a while" comment. This entire exchange lasted 3 minutes. Your staff members need to improve their attitude to people who come inside. Not everyone requires "dealing with".
