J.

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 to 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.

B.

Our table of girls were out for our mate’s birthday and we were served by Luke - Luke was so lovely and made sure that our table was cleared regularly and made great drinks reccomend actions when we asked advice on which cocktails we should order as well! Overall stellar service from Luke and I know that all of us girls really enjoyed being here, definitely keen to come back!

R.

Great cocktail bar! Great cocktails! Great staff! When we arrived the balcony was full so we had to sit inside, the staff were on to it though and moved us outside as soon as a table became available!

H.

I hate when you get fries and there’s not enough sauce. You’re left with cold, dry and sad chips and that’s just not on. Luckily, Parasol and Swings Company did NOT have that issue. The pot of fries sauce seemed like it would never end. And the churro chocolate sauces just went on and on and on. But besides the infinity sauces the food and drinks were great too!! We all tried each other’s drinks and there wasn’t a single one that wasn’t a 10/10 (could say the same thing about us). All in all, a great dining and drinking experience. Would 100% recommend.

N.

Great service, great views and food was delicious! We ordered the crispy cajun chicken and the ranch sauce was incredible!!! Absolutely loved it! The shoestring fries were also so crunchy and not oily at all! Sauce was also nice and spicy! Only giving 3 stars though because I was expecting the menu to be the same as the photos from the Google reviews. Turned out, we only had snacks... maybe because of time of day? :( But yeah, so sad. I was looking forward to a pork belly burger, ice cream sandwich and loaded fries.

P.

Loved it here. We had a small celebration after our engagement and they were so hospitable and greeted us with complimentary champagne 🥂 their cocktails were also amazing!! Thanks team

J.

The best spot for views, sunshine and innovative cocktails at the viaduct. Nothing else nearby even comes close. Consistent with great service and drinks gin worn find anywhere else, just be careful to check your bill thoroughly as the last time we were hear a random drink happened to turn up ... which wouldn’t be so bad except they are ~ $20

R.

Such a lovely place to come for a drink after work! We were looked after by Luke who was super friendly and made us really welcome. Great drinks, great view and you don't have to yell to have a conversation like some of the other bars in the area. Will definitely be back!

s.

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.

P.

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.

K.

Fantastic view of the viaduct. Great place to catch an Auckland sunset. Staff are friendly. Highly recommend the crimson and clover cocktail. They also have really good small plates, the ribs, the salt and pepper squid and the fried chicken are all really good. No wheelchair access and a huge flight of stairs to get up so not great after a few.

K.

Good time had by all. Friendly staff and delicious cocktails, and a nice mix of people coming and going over the course of the evening. Thank you!

R.

Great view, great crowd, best customer service and best food. What an experience! Oh, their cocktails have the craziest names!

V.

Our drinks were delayed as the order got lost somewhere in the process. It was a very busy Saturday night so we just waited patiently..not a problem. We had atleast 3 different staff members come and apologize to us and we were not charged for all our 4 drinks either. Most lovely customer service. It was our first time and we def will be back again.

A.

Fantastic, classy place for a drink in Central Auckland. Service was top notch and our waiter was knowledgeable when we asked about the cocktails. Highly recommend!!

T.

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!

G.

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.

L.

In my opinion, the best bar in Auckland. The staff I met whilst I was there really made me feel welcome when I was travelling alone, they were Friendly and the bar has a good selection of drinks, delicious food and a great view, what’s not to like!?

E.

We popped in on a busy Saturday night of a long weekend, the place had a great atmosphere and we were fortunate to get a seat on the balcony overlooking the water, just lovely! Theo delivered brilliant service to us from the moment we arrived, recommending delicious drinks and food and taking care of all the customers around us, he was popping up everywhere, serving, clearing, cash, seating and shooing away people who were tossing their dirty butts over the balcony. Thank you for the excellent service Theo, it made our night!!

A.

Lovely outdoor rooftop bar, inside options. Great cocktails and friendly staff

R.

Good place and amazing drinks!

A.

Cool cocktails and a nice location to have a drink on a warm sunny day! However the highlight for me was the burger that was a lot tastier than it had any right to be.

R.

Went here with friends to have dinner on my birthday. Great view but take something warm in case it's a windy day and there are no seats available indoors. I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken burger with tomato jam, sriracha, wasabi mayo, miso and yuzu aioli slaw, garlic butter, loaded hash bites with cheese and dried onions and I think the shake was either salted caramel or peanut butter. Good table service - wait staff are chatty which I like!

N.

Very reasonable prices, especially for the location. Went to enjoy the sunset and cocktails. The drinks are creative and the service was 100% top notch. Great experience!

C.

Impressive new development to add to the bar scene on the Viaduct. More chilled vibe than next door Dr. Rudis with a focus on cocktails and beach resort themed bar area.

K.

Had 12 friends over for my birthday drinks and was an amazing night! Staff were super attentive and had some great recommendations, and the cocktails were even better than expected. Will definitely be back!

M.

As a rare social drinker, my mind was blown. I was not expecting the grasshopper taste that amazing. The managers banter was on point. Bit of sass but had character. Professional charmer. Thanks for the drinks tonight lads, Excited to try the improve Grasshopper in future too.

#.

Had some pretty good snack food last night! Very quiet and peaceful with a lovely atmosphere and vibe! Really enjoyed the chicken the most! Great staff and service. Would reccomened

H.

Nice bar, drinks are good and around $17-22 each which adds up quickly. The food tasted nice but the portion sizes were tiny in respect to the price.

J.

Great location. This time we stopped in for a cocktail, which were delicious. Music, drinks and service all faultless. Thanks for a great night

T.

Amazing cocktails, nice staff, and caring service ! Thanks !

P.

This place saved our evening as it was one of the only bars open on 2nd January. The cocktails were incredible and the staff attentive and helpful. Definitely stop off here for a cocktail or three.

J.

Perfect place to get buzzed for some clubbing. Great drinks, great music, great people. Intimate but there is a balcony with views over the gorgeous Viaduct Harbour.

L.

Nice bar with good vibes and their staff were super friendly and accommodating. But food was pretty average and the burgers were too salty.

A.

The cocktails were amazing and the service was to die for... the best serviced bar in all over Auckland. It was raining, windy and cold, they gave us blankets and hot water bags, how cute is that...

J.

Good view of the pier and nice variety of cocktails.

S.

Great views over the viaduct from the deck. My favourite cocktail bar in Auckland. Staff are so so good. Great wine list. The tacos are delish! Great music for a dance, but not so loud you can't hear each other talk. Had a birthday booking on Saturday and they could not have been more accommodating. Excellent comms and outstanding service, definitely a great place to meet.

M.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, good selection of non alcoholic drinks, with attentive and friendly staff.

B.

Very good for and selection of beers and cocktails. The staff was friendly and did a great job. Good food selection in a enjoyable atmosphere.

M.

Good cocktails. Nice decor. Saturday night was a bit crowded and they had the music WAY up in a small space, so everyone was shouting over one another. Service was so so. Our waitress was friendly when we sat down, but proceeded to ignore us for 10 minutes before even taking our order. I wanted to order at the bar initially, but she told me to sit and she would handle it, so it was a bit annoying. House old fashioned was on point, and was served in an interesting fashion (no pun). A small bottle that you poured over a big rock yourself. It was cool, but I question the effect on the cocktail. 1. You are affecting both temperature and dilution. 2. You haven't expressed the citrus oils from the orange garnish across the surface. The drink was good, but again, did lack a note of citrus. I would be willing to come here on a quieter night and try some more of their experimental flavor combinations. This is not a traditional cocktail menu, it's full of some really unique and inventive concoctions, so be ready to be adventurous.

L.

What a fun Saturday afternoon! Jason was so easy to organise, change, and re-change my online booking lol Really friendly welcome from Danny who kept the delicious cocktails coming. Adam came and introduced himself and made us feel very welcome. Loved the popcorn prawns, delicious! Great view of the Viaduct and everyone was having a good time, music was not too loud so you could still talk without shouting and we really enjoyed the playlist. Definitely a smaller, more intimate cocktail bar than a lot of other venues on the water. Be great for that last one for the road - doubt if you will stop at one though :-)

C.

Great place on the marina for drinks in the spring sun! The rooftop bar has really nice views across the Marina, definitely recommend!

M.

Had a few drinks here on a Saturday night & it was pumping! Lovely atmosphere & drinks were good but it was the wait staff that made this place great. Great enthusiasm & a lot of fun, will definitely return! Thank you ☺️

A.

Good place, excellent drinks and perfect service from staff.

J.

The best service I have ever encountered. Good people with fast service. Highly recommended to all so please do try it. Cal was on point with his service good communication and very helpful. And I cant forget the amazing view. A memorable experience for sure. You guys will have to see it for yourself

K.

An awesome cocktail bar with great staff. Rooftop bar has a great view of the harbour. Had a bunch of their mystery beers, where they just bring you one at a flat price and they were all so good. Food was good too, chicken and waffles were a standout, the waffle was perfect. On a nice day it will be very hard to get a table on the patio so go early.

E.

Great cocktails and atmosphere. Service is top notch. Decent beer selection too. Try the old fashioned, it's incredible. Didn't have the food, but the table next to us looked great. Amazing covered view of the harbor that opens up in the summer.

T.

Nice spot. Great view. Good service. Cheese and charcuterie board was a bit of a rip for $50.00--it was missing something! Side of prawns were tasty. Would try this place again.

M.

Loved the service! Cocktails were nice too!

j.

Had a fun girls night out. Music was perfect and staff knew how to keep it classy and make you feel special.

f.

Best bar in the viaduct. The food is consistently great, staff are right there when your drink gets low, great atmosphere. Just get the jalapeño poppers they have to be in the top 3 best in Auckland. Have been many times and will ne going many more

P.

Some of the best cocktails I have had for a long time. Attention to detail A1

N.

Great location, fantastic service - we were here for a private event, which was seamless, went off without a hitch, because of the great service. Good theme, drinks and cocktails. We'll be back again for sure, with views like these who can resist! Especially being slightly smaller, more intimate than next door at Dr Rudi's.

w.

This place is an awesome experience. Really cool vibe and great cocktails. I recommend trying the Lost in Translation. Also the manager Josh there was great, He turned us on to a whole list of other hidden spots to check out.

C.

Great view over Auckland City habour. The staff are always really nice. The place is a bit small and maybe hard to find. The food is great. Can recommend the chicken burger. A little but expensive though and some of the dishes like the tacos are quite small.

E.

Great vibes, classy company and exotic drinks. We came here after a few bars and had a grand old time looking out at the yachts and chatting to strangers. Not cheap, although for the atmosphere well worth it. Service was as efficient as it could be considering the crowd, which was just the right size in terms of the energy it added.

M.

Funky, fun bar with tasty bites to eat. Great and friendly staff.

A.

Cool place that is relaxed and sophisticated. Beautiful harbour views from this deck bar make it even better. We enjoyed the cheese and charcuterie board late at night. I'm going back again for sure

L.

Great spot and great cocktails. Stand out service from Bill, knowledgeable , attentive and general good chat he knows his drinks thank you for an enjoyable evening

C.

Knowledgeable staff and drink selection very impressive. Food was soooo delicious. Always stop in when im in Auckland

k.

Friendly staff n Viaduct views. Hospo discount , DJ nights. This place tick all the boxes if you want to have a good night.

J.

What an awesome place. The people are super friendly and the cocktails delicious. Only a small point that waiters should be trained on the chessboard. It was a recommendation from Guila at Dirty Laundry.

C.

The finger food was great. The jalapeno poppers and prawn poppers? Were delicious. Cocktails and drinks also a good size and tasty.

S.

Danny is amazing. It's been more than a year visited parasol since I moved to Wellington but Danny never forget his customers. It was such an amazing time tonight. I will come back for sure.

J.

Awesome service. Fantastic location and great drinks selection. Highly recommend.

D.

I always seem to come to parasol and swing. The staff are great, especially Cal. He has a great knowledge of craft beers and the bar menu as a whole.

T.

Great bar, great cocktail 🍸 love your work PJ..

D.

The patio is a great place to watch the sunset and enjoy the view. The food is delicious and the drink menu is large and interesting. The staff were attentive and we had a great time.

J.

Really nice atmosphere and Cal our bartender was amazing! Great bants and service

A.

Awesome cocktails and friendly service in a great location overlooking the Viaduct Harbour. Only downside was they were playing clubbing music at 4 in the afternoon which was a bit off-putting

C.

Good drinks but the banana daiquiri didn't taste like banana like it said. Also, said we wanted food but we waited and waited for the bartender to come back to take our food order after getting the menu, before giving up and leaving.

J.

Great view from top deck, great cocktails, fast attentive service and good finger food. Nothing fancy, just burgers, tacos etc but well made.

B.

Went Tuesday night 3rd March around 9.30... Great service from one of the guys, super friendly and helpful with recommendations. Small place but the view is worth it :) Great food too!

P.

Great bar, loved the theme - got in pretty late so missed the kai but the bar staff were friendly,attentive and well versed in the drinks. A great twist on the classic negroni - I can reccomend the ivy league..boozy!

M.

Good value for money and friendly staff. Very cold beers and nice view. Couldn't fault the place but had to leave because of the wind. Hope to be back on a calmer day

S.

We stayeed at the sebel auckland vaiduct and was able to order room service from parasol and swing company. The vegetarian burger was gorgeous, and the buttermilk crispy chicken satisfied my partners love of crispy chicken. Cant wait to stay again and order in. A real treat and extra special for my birthday man 😊

A.

Great food, amazing views and friendly staff :)

A.

Tried the restaurant of the month menu with friend. Quite like the entree full of flavour and the tortillas was avg as we found the brisket bit salty Very generous portion.

A.

Smaller balcony than I thought it would be but still very nice and a little quieter than Dr Rudi's next door. So a bit easier to get a seat. Good service.

R.

Best customer service, best food, fantastic prices, amazing location. They tie it all together so well! And what a vibe! Definitely a 'must-experience' in Auckland.
