Amazing fries and service. The view is obviously great as it’s situated in the viaduct and there is indoor and outdoor seating available. There’s something about the shoestring fries that definitely deserve a award!
Had a fantastic time! Service was great and their drinks and churros were too good ☺️
Nice bar with good vibes and their staff were super friendly and accommodating. But food was pretty average and the burgers were too salty.
My rating is based solely on the drinks alone because boy I'm in love with their cocktail menu. Quirky, creative, and well executed. I'm personally not a fun of how loud it was but hey, it's good fun for a night out. Pictured are death of a sailor and banana miso sour. Both great! Definitely worth trying if you enjoy something different.
Lovely place for a nice drink. Great staff always friendly. Will be back as usual again.
I loved this place! Perfect view and the Jalapeño poppers were my favourite! Cocktails were super funky and tasty 😋
On a friday evening, upstairs by the rooftop there was a loud party vibe but conversations can barely be heard. However, downstairs it was nice and chill that I could hear my friends and catch up properly, so that’s something to consider based on your mood. We had a beautiful build your own taco platter and it was so delicious, there was a generous serving of toppings and that saucy pulled beef was everything. We also had some chimichangas that were plated nicely. I had a banana miso sour which I thought was going to be strange but was actually pretty good, really simple presentation tho. The staff apologised in advance saying the food and drinks were going to take a while but everything actually came out quickly.
Came here for lunch. It was quiet but perfect for us. Chimichanga and pulled beef wraps were yum!! will be back for more food and cocktails
Delicious $25 Menu for American Express Restaurant Month: Prawn & Chorizo Chimichanga & Tamarind and Chipotle Braised Brisket! hopefully its included in the regular menu (should be)! The chimichanga had a vibrant and unique taste that made me crave for more, and the brisket tortilla had a great mixture of ingredients...it felt like i had fireworks popping in my mouth, haha...quick service and delivery, nice and cozy ambiance as well-if only it wasn't freezing cold, we would've sat outside in the balcony with a wonderful view of the viaduct and Auckland Harbour Bridge from afar
:( ...definitely will come back!
Came here for my friend’s hens night - lovely place to drink, love the atmosphere both inside and outside area, the staffs are all friendly as well

Great service even on a Friday night, staff were attentive. Loved the decor,ambience and view of this bar. Had a couple of cocktails and their hashbites which were amazingly good too. Can’t wait to go back in the Summer!
Had a quick lunch here with awesome view. Food was above average. Fish Taco is nice and fried chicken burger with wasabi mayo source is just awesome. The chicken piece is crispy and juicy at the same time. Would like to come back at night to try the drinks.
I come here often for after work drinks with my workmates, they have great cocktail choices but we especially love the loaded fries and the jalapeno poppers! Highly recommend this place.
Ended up coming here a couple months back for my Christmas party after a different place we were at bombed. Came for the drinks and left with great memories.
Good amount of cocktails and drinks offered. I finally found a place that makes a Grasshopper (super minty delicious easy to down drink) and could not have been more thrilled. The bartenders were on their game and it was decently busy with the DJ playing some decent tunes.
Will have to be back for another Grasshopper but also to try more of their drinks and seemingly delicious food menu (and grab some pictures)!
Been here several times on a night out and always have a good time here.
The service is good and it’s kinda hidden so you don’t get rowdy people up here.
The best rooftop spot in the city for afternoon drinks! Awesome views of the Viaduct marina, and high enough to be away from the hustle and chaos on the sidewalk after the sun sets. The food is great too, specifically the off-menu Chicken Tower burger as well as the poutine tater tots. Always have a great selection of beer that get rotated.
Best place in the viaduct for drinks plus an amazing view!
If you haven’t already, visit The Parasol & Swing Company on a nice summer day.
The terrace space outside is limited but cozy. This place has an overall great atmosphere. It’s not overly loud like many other bars. It’s a perfect place for a catch-up with a friend over a glass of wine or nicely crafted cocktail.
I haven’t tried the food so I can’t speak for that.
Looking forward to going back over the summer.
Love this place ! The whisky sours are always my go to ! Great spot and amazing staff ! The burgers are great and so is the lamb ! Just a all round nice bar !
Perfect place to have a drink as well as having food. Tried the Chicken & Bacon waffles, Tempura calamari and hash bites with yuzu aioli. The waffles were amazing probably the best I’ve had. Also ordered the Parasol mojito and nitro coffee. Definitely going back there again soon
What a great little cocktail bar. We didn’t try the food but the drinks were fantastic.
Friendly an knowledgeable staff and we didn’t think the prices were too bad.
We will be back.

First time came for lunch. Love the cocktail. Food is nice, especially the shoestring fries, full of flavor. Staffs are friendly and helpful too. Price is reasonable, $30 for lunch and tape beer. Cocktail is between $18 - $22, but I think totally worth it.
Ready great place to handout for nice music and drinks. Went mid night had few drinks and there Jalapeno bites are must try. It’s really tasty 😋.
Bar tenders are good and happy
It’s surely a must visit place for me again when I am out for a midnight drink and dance.
Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place with great cocktails and view.
One of the best cocktails in the city. We went there on Tuesday night, so was easy to get outside seats. I love having a cocktail here with such a nice view🫶
Three ladies on a Friday night extending our dinner out by finding a cocktail or two, horrible weather, so we opted for an inside drink instead of outside. I must say that the service is outstanding. Very nice, obliging young waiters and bar staff. Very tasty fries with a kind of pickle dip! Expensive cocktails, but delicious and you are paying for the venue and everything else too. Music got too loud to talk and lights going down was our cue to tottle home to the suburbs. Long way upstairs if you have bad knees or are unsteady on your pins. It was fun! Thanks guys 🤓
What I love about this place is that they are very quick to respond when you email them. You get to have an exchange message with the owner himself. He was very nice and professional eventhough I have made multiple changes in my booking. Good job Jason. See you tomorrow for my booking to dine with my wife and family celebrating her birthday.
Booking date 31/12/2021
Food are tasty though it's real that it comes in a little portion. Well it is a cocktail bar which you first notice when you come to the entrance that is why it is not a usual go to to have heavy lunch and all instead people go here to drink and have a little bit of snack.
All in all we like the settings and staff are the best.
Had drinks downstairs - limited bar but staff were excellent and view amazing
We went for sunset and it was beautiful.
Drinks were delicious! Great beer
Awesome experience dinning here ! They some really cool cocktails. Great flavours and excellent service. Food menu is also nice. The views from here are totally stunning. One of the best cocktail bar in Auckland for sure. Highly recommended.
Good cocktails, staff were lovely. But not much choice on the food side of things.
Kimchi chicken burger and fish taco were so yummy. We paired them with lager beer. Great view from the balcony. Friendly and welcoming staff.
Great service and great drinks, atmosphere was perfect for a semi chilled Saturday night. Will be back again next time we are visiting Auckland 😀
We came here for a few drinks on a Thursday evening. It was very busy so we sat at the bar which was great. The bar staff were very attentive. The cocktails were delicious and very reasonably priced. Would recommend for a date night or just an after work drink. If you can get on the balcony there are great views. Will be back.
Parasol & Swing in the Viaduct was the perfect cocktail stop for Friday afternoon drinks and enjoying the views. The bi-level bar is simply stunning and stylishly adorned and staff was very attentive. I also loved the laid back 90 R&B set the live DJ was playing.
We enjoyed a round of exotic and aesthetically pleasing cocktails and this was the ideal launchpad to fun night out! Highly recommended!
Had a nice night out on the sky deck as we wanted a well crafted cocktail without the shoulder to shoulder club vibe. Expect a big bills as cocktails run around $20! They still have a DJ and dancing area inside but with outdoor seating too. It's on the 3rd floor and shares a large bathroom with Dr Rudi's next door. They also have a burger place downstairs but haven't tried that yet. Pro tip: the Dancing with the Devil cocktail I believe it's called with egg whites is definitely the best of them all.
Great bar with beautiful views over the marina and a little quieter than others in the area. The cocktails are tasty and the staff know their stuff. Absolutely recommend checking it out.
Parasol and Swing Company Bar has some of the best and unusual cocktail glassware I have ever seen. My favourite cocktail cup was definitely the tiki drink, which even came topped with a fortune cookie. The cocktails not only looked good but were also delicious. The service staff were super nice and friendly and the food was tasty. The view out towards the water really nice, especially during sunset.
