Reviews of Grand Central
S.Margarita & Stephen are the best bar tender’s
I’ve ever met whenever you’re at grand central ask for them in Ponsonby…!!!
s.A place that is one of the last vestiges of live music in a Auckland and has been so for as long as I remember. Its important and Auckland needs more places like this. Grand Central rocks!
S.Nice bar with a nice vibe and ambience. Pretty small a place but still not bad. Drinks and prices are okay considering the location. There could be more events organised to promote customer engagement and promotion in my opinion.
F.Best late night bar with live music... Loud and crazy and they never seen too close their doors.. 😜
D.Been a fan of this place for years the music on most nights is great hidden gem is upstairs to the right of the toilets along with 3 other cool spaces to share a beer with your mates never once have I seen any drama door staff do a great job. Safe place to get a glow on
t.Always nice to have a drink with live music waiter was very nice too
M.This place has live music Monday to Thursday night. If you want to find a place that is not empty on a Tuesday night (or any night), this is the place. It's known for its late nights. It's a recipe that has allowed the GC to keep killing it for 12 years. But for me 2 for 1 drinks from Mon to Fri 4-7 is what keeps me coming back especially when a pint in Ponsonby venues can cost $12 each. At the GC, 4 pints for $20. Yes yes 👍
G.A bit dive-y but that's it's own special lure. TONS of comfortable space inside, back, and outside. Great chill music. Overall, whether you're here to chat about records or let off steam from your work day, it's a pretty cool place.
J.Great staff, followed red light rules and they were even super fast with table service
B.Normally stop by here after dinner when in the Ponsonby area for a late night drink. It doesn't look very large but there are multiple seating options from the couches up front to the small tables on the side in the alley to the small room at the back of the bar.
What's also quite nice is that they tend to have live music. Nice atmosphere but it can get quite loud since it is small.
M.Wednesday night live music 🎶 is great fun
A.Great spot for a late evening tipple. GC is still an institution for good live music too!
E.The cutest bar I've been in in a long time! The fireplace room is the cutest place to chill and catch up. Prices are decent as well and the live music is great. The blokes setting up the stage were a riot and our bartender was nice. Felt very welcomed which is great being new to the area.
S.Went there for a close mates farewell. Excellent drinks, great taste for an even better price. The chat from the bar staff was also great. Overall, would recommend.
C.These guys had to kick me out because they had already refused me service and friends were buying me drinks. Then I dropped a glass while I was onstage. The bouncer was super polite and treated me with max respect the whole time. Good bar. Good people. Love new zealand. Love the people from here and the people who come here
E.Last night my friends left me to uber home. I don't think I realized just how drink I was - everything kinda caught up with me at once. But one of your security/bouncers saw me stumbling and instead of laughing at the white girl wasted, they made sure I was okay and watched me get into my uber. I am so grateful to that kind man, thank you for quality people
S.The oldest bar in Ponsonby. Classic dive bar, live music every night, awesome atmosphere. Happy hour is 2 for 1 Monday to Friday, where do you get that these days?? Forget everywhere else, this is the possie.
S.Great little bar, awesome service and highly recommend for a quite beer
B.Ponsonby Road live music hub. Great atmosphere small and cozy. You can hear some good local bands on a weekend. Seats outside looking onto Ponsonby Road and also covered seating outside in alleyway. It's a good night out
S.Good band on a Saturday night and two different spaces makes for a good time. Gotta battle through the crowd to get to the bathroom though. Good fun place
J.Great live music and cheap drinks. The venue is set up well and is intimate enough for a good night. Would definitely recommend as a wonderful place for a night out.
a.Loved it great place to hang and lesson to live music.
Great staff and serves.
B.Great live music, awesome atmosphere 😊
E.Tonight (Saturday 1st December), the experience of my group was dampened by the Male bartender who clearly was not happy in his job & reflected that in his service to patrons.
We watched him repeatedly cop a nasty attitude many patron & at it was clear that his female co worker was not comfortable working alongside him
This was sad to watch him killing the buzz at what is one of my all time favorite venues.
He should not be working in hospitality.
We were left feeling if we vocalized our feeling about his service, he would refuse to serve us....and we were not intoxicated.
Really disappointing blot on an other wise brilliant establishment.
K.What a cool little joint 🚩 whenever in Auckland please check out a band called 'The Mischiefs' or 'Mischief'. Lead singer phenomenal and the band acoustically and vocally on point :-) The service impeccable and loved the local ale. Great atmos!!
D.One of those late night bars you don't want to admit you were at... but you had a blast!
E.Great bar with excellent live music and gorgeous courtyard. EPIC selection of whiskeys with staff that really know their stuff
P.Great whisky selection at The Cork. Very knowledgeable barman, always respectful and friendly. Always ready to return.
S.I didn't realise that this place had such good music. The service was great and the trio was even better... excellent crowd a people who seemed to enjoy the music as well. I will be back!
M.The staff here have always been friendly and the atmosphere is great. Little things like asking if you want another drink when they clear your glass sets it above the usual standard.
T.Good local. Best happy hour deal I've found in Pons - drinks are 2 for 1.
Plays classic tunes.
C.Good selection of taps, great service, never a bad time.
i.I enjoyed my last Saturday night out with my 2 girl mates. Watched n listened to some awesome live music, they grooved mostly while I took advatage of the awesome bar staff & their great service.. cheers to the staff for mentioning to me about an app called "Orderella" and to come in during the week Mon to Fri between 4-7pm for 2 for 1 drinks... I did come in again on Wednesday following and I tried the app out too... "Orderella" is a pretty bad ass app that gives you a full detailed look at the bar of choice, menu, drinks and food with prices ... you just click on what you want, pay for it, once paid the app then sends the order to the bar staff, the staff sort your order and inform you back via the app when its ready for pick up,,,, BooOM!!.... really is a good idea this app saves you from time spent away from your companions.... cheers GC !!
D.If you enjoy a night out with your friends check out this awesome club bar has great live bands and a excellent array of music to dance to awesome atmosphere and it's a very good night out but please don't drink and drive sober driver,uber,or taxi.
A.Decent and pretty popular bar which is open late too. Live music is a bonus. Popular with more of a middle aged crowd and wasn't really my scene hence 4 stars.
B.We stopped by for some drinks and after I finished paying the bartender said "let me get your receipt." l said "no thanks" because I wasn't keeping receipts, but he said "you might want it because it's happy hour and if you bring it back I'll give you another round on the house, but of course you don't have to." Yeah, we took the receipt.
J.Awesome live bands and atmosphere in general. Staff are always friendly and chill.
J.This place is my go-to. Very nicely sized area with a few different vibes depending on where you are in the venue. Great outdoor area and plenty of toilets to choose from.
D.I used to go to Grand Central on a Monday or Tuesday night and you knew it was always pumping. But I hadn't been there for years. A mate of mine told me to get down to the G.C because he found out they do two for one drinks between 4-7pm weekdays so I thought i'd check it out. It's no lie. Its the most happiest of happy hours in Auckland lol. I asked the barman if I bought a bottle of champagne, would they still do two for 1? The answer is YES. They also had an app called Orderella where you can see whats on their menu, order it and pay for it and when its ready, they send you a notification to come and get it. AWESOME!! No more waiting at the bar. Its definitely handy for when you are in their outside area quite a distance from the bar. Oh yes, they also have Street fighter 2. Just saying.
S.Atmosphere in this place is fantastic and the bar staff especially Shane are just the best 😁
L.Great happy hour deals and a pretension free atmosphere which is refreshing on Ponsonby Road
G.If you want to find a happening bar on say a Tuesday night, you can always count on the GC. They also have the most generous happy hrs in Auckland
K.Loved this bar, spent the whole night there 2 weeks ago, great service
T.An absolute classic of Ponsonby Road. This place has been here for many years and his head everything happened that you can possibly imagine. It is bigger than you realise when upstairs. Great place for a private function.
S.Great Atmosphere and The DJ host was very accomodating in allowing a few peeps to show their Talent. 🎵🎼🎼🎵Sanzz
L.My favourite bar, live music is always great. They have a relaxed atmosphere, and you will always talk to someone new.

L.(Translated) A small but very nice place to have a drink. And luckily it closes late and almost always has some live music.
(Original)
Un lugar pequeño pero muy agradable para tomar algo. Y por suerte cierra tarde y casi siempre tiene un poco de música en vivo.
M.(Translated) Great place, the beer is good and that's enough to become a regular customer.
(Original)
Ottimo posto, la birra è buona ed è quello che basta per diventare un cliente fisso.
F.(Translated) Good atmosphere but consumption is expensive and with lots of ice
(Original)
Bonne ambiance mais les consommation sont cheres et avec beaucoup de glaçons
