Cold beers and ok prices. Outside in sun is nice except for the homeless guys who either bug you from the othersie of the fence or just lounge around in the bars outside area. That part of Auckland needs a good cleanup.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable early lunch at The Right Track Sports Bar. Friendly, helpful service and the food was served super fast. Meals were a great price and some of the best we had during our stay in Auckland. Would highly recommend and will definitely be calling in again

Ahh an icon of Fort St. been here forever! It’s your local bar in the heart of the city, been coming here forever. It’s had its blips but definitely back on the up. Great food for the price, lovely cocktail menu, amazing happy hour, poker nights on a Monday, quiz night on a Wednesday and then live music on a Sunday with daily specials on food and showing any and every game you want! Love the place!

Charged my phone and looked after me. Had a great chat with the bartenders and had a wholehearted conversation with both people at the bar. They’re bloody great and deserve a lil pay rise. Thank you for helping me out!

Great bar in Auckland close to the waterfront. Lots of screens to watch every sport that is being played. Lots of screens for the horse racing and a big screen to watch the football. I enjoyed one of their specials, roast lamb and vegetables which came with a beer for $30. Meal was beautiful. Beer cold. Football enjoyed.
