Came here on a really busy night with some workmates and they do some pretty good pub food. Cool vibe too, although it does get quite packed inside. Nice place to come for some drinks or to catch up with friends.

Went here for Friday night drink, good and cozy place to hangout with friends in CBD area also they opened till midnite.. they served a nice beer and long island tea..
Do you know Vultures’ on Vulcan Lane has 22 regularly rotating taps and over 75 bottles in the fridge? This pub does serve not only great beer but also fantastic food!! One of my favourites is this buttermilk fried chicken tenders, named Buttered Bird. These chicken tenders are delicious!🤤 Crispy outside, tender & juicy inside. It also goes very well with the sriracha mayo; my go-to sauce.😝
$16 for a good decent amount, not the cheapest but I would totally rate these as the BEST in Auckland!
Vultures does really good pub food - nachos, burgers, fish n chips etc. A must try are their pies - really big and tasty, I definitely recommend their smoked fish one. They have some good daily specials and their food is always value for money. Decent selection for vegetarians too which can be rare at pubs. For those into craft beers, definitely check this place out as they have a huge selection - it's what they are best known for.
One of the city's great bars - not a dive bar per se but has lots of dive-y aspects. Big selection of local and overseas craft beers, interesting characters [like the biker with the white frenchie pictured]. Staff are friendly at times and may even get on it with you after they knock off...
If you like craft beer then this will defs be a bit of you. This place is my go-to for an after work crafty on a Friday. It is no frills for sure but the selection of beers is top notch, surly staff are somewhat charming and there are free hot wings on Fridays. Get there - you won't be disappointed.
In Auckland for the weekend, grabbed a cab to the city starving and found this place luckily!
We were in for a late lunch so wanted to order snacks to tide us over til dinner.
We had the loaded fries, hot wings and onion rings with a couple of beers.
The loaded fries with chilli and cheese were tasty and generous for sharing as were the deliciously crunchy tender chicken wings. So pleased to see the onion rings were home made in the crunchy light batter, they certainly didn't disappoint! None of the food was greasy or dry which I was kind of expecting from the price SO really just very reasonably priced (if not under) for fresh, hot, yummy bar food.
See ya next time!
Stopped by for one of the fresh hop beers event in Auckland. We came here since they were one of the few bars that were participating. It is located between Queen and High Street on Vulcan lane.
Friendly service and they do have small bites and burgers available. The buttermilk fried chicken was nuggets of chicken served with BBQ sauce.
Fairly small pub with seating both inside and out.
yippee! hooray for AMAZING sandwiches and beers on tap that wont make you broke! for some reason the falafel sandwich wasnt on the menu i got inside. but that doesnt mean they are not preparing it - so do not despair if your favorite dish seems to be missing. also the place is quite cool - something like a gentlemens club from the old days maybe? a total score!
great selection of beers on tap, something which is hard to find in auckland! Lovely atmosphere with the old wooden bar and mirrors and nice fire, perfect on the cold wet day on which we visited. Very helpful staff who were more than willing to give us a taste of the beers before we decided and good food to boot! thoroughly recommend.
Amazing place with a very friendly staff. You gotta check the free chicken wings on Fridays. Highly recommended. Need more characters to finish the review. The place is totally worth it.
Had a very hearty meal here. The menu has great variety, we settled on a selection of soft tacos, a burger and fries, fish and chips, and some of the fried chicken. The pork taco and fried chicken were standouts, the fish and chips were good, and the cheeseburger was average.
I recommend taking a friend and sharing a few dishes so you can sample the menu and get a variety of dishes. Don't leave without trying the fried chicken, it's ridiculously satisfying. Great place to gather with friends for food and drink that's cheap and satisfying. They'll have the game on the bigscreen too.
My place to go for a cold nice beer and a snack.
Staff is friendly food is great.
Yummy.
Me encanta este sitio los nachos,tacos y steak and chunks are my favorites.
Great place for a beer but shame about the food (not bad just nowt special). The quality of the cask ale was up there with Lancashire's finest - a very high bar. Like the Swamill range of beers on offer and they keep it well. Food ok but basic range and standard pub fayre quality. A great addition to the city centre and helps one avoid places selling horrible gasy lager.
Love this place. Awesome/interesting selection of beer chill atmosphere and a really interesting bar menu. Plus the downstairs area is really cool. One of the best places in the city for good beer
We dropped into the Vultures Lane for an express lunch on a rainy day a couple of weeks ago. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and we had the Pork Bap and Chilli Bowl and shared the chunky chips. the chunky chips were excellent, being crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Pork Bap was good value and the Chilli Bowl was accompanied by a plentiful side of corn chips. The only down side was that the chilli could have been spicier and an accompaniment of sour cream would have enhanced the meal. There was a great range of Kiwi draught beers and the Number 8 Wire Conductor pale ale was superbly crisp and fruity.
I have no doubt that the craft beer at this pub is good - plenty of bloggers have written about their drinks already.
I would like to assure you, however, that the food at Vulture's Lane is well worth trying too. In particularly, the "Buttered Bird", which turned out to be fried buttermilk chicken with pickles and a smokey dip, was not only cheap at just $11, but also very tasty, hot and crispy!
We have only been once so far, but definitely planning to return for some other items from the small yet tempting menu!
Meat pies and great selection of local beers!
Many beers on draft and you can also get the pie+beer deal (great deal!). They also have many bottled beers to choose from, wines and hard liquor. The food looks amazing, but I have only had their pies.
No table service here. Order and pay at the bar and they will bring your food to you when it's ready.
Great brewpub in a charming historic building on cool Vulcan Lane, situated between the ferry terminal and the Auckland Art Gallery. There is an excellent selection of beers on tap, as well as ones in bottles. We ordered a fried chicken sandwich (delicious!) that came with thick cut fries (also delicious!). Barkeeps were very friendly and service was excellent. Highly recommended.
The best Reuben sandwich I've had, with a nice rotation of craft beers on tap
Great atmosphere, friendly staff members and had a great time with extensive array of beers on tap available. Would recommend for a drink (or two)
Lovely bar. Great service and all the food was amazing. Very yummy Lamb Shank and Kiwi Burger . Great beer too. Will definitely be back again.
Delicious craft beer bar. We stopped by and enjoyed the delicious steak fries and a beer sampler.
One of my favorite spots for the rare pint. Friendly staff and a good mix of regulars and new interesting people to meet. This place has always had a solid pub menu as well. Probably the best bar of it's kind in central Auckland.
Very nice bar in downtown Auckland.
Nice staff, great selection of craft beers. Snacks and food in general is very taste.
Great place to rest and stay a little while.
Never seen a place with such a huge selection of craft beer and good food at the same time. The staff helps you finding the perfect beer for you and they also have a nice terrace to enjoy the weather and people walking by. Definitely can recommend this place and would go there again.
Best pies in town and I'm addicted to the beef jerky
Vulcan Lane, The iconic place to be for quick lunch or a cigarette under the tree. You can find burger restaurant, Japanese restaurant in a few pubs here. There are seven public benches What are you to sit down and relax. One thing I notice is that the building has the classic look and design from the early 1930’s - Greek triangles and Roman columns architectural design style.
Randomly stopped here for a few pints while exploring Auckland; friendly bartenders, great selection of awesome beers, decent prices, staff was constantly picking up glasses and keeping tables clear, and the food ain’t bad for a pub. We ended up coming back a couple more times, especially for the red ipa they had on tap.
Place gets quite busy after work hours, good loud bustling vibe. Recommended.
One of my favourite bar. Great choice on beers. Staff are friendly. If you are looking for a craft beer bar. This one won't be wrong.
Awesome little pub with an incredible range of NZ brews. Lots of Behemoth brews which I enjoyed sampling! If you enjoy craft beer this place is definitely worth stopping at.
Excellent selection of craft beers. Great service.
Great craft beer selection. We went on a Wednesday and they were giving away wings with every jug, good ones at that.
Great selection of beer, friendly staff, cool digs
