OPEN

This Friday! 12pm we’ll be flipping patties and serving you up the perfect Friday lunch pairing - burgers and beers. Come get it while it’s hot and see the one and only chef in action. We mayyy even keep the good times rolling Saturday lunchtime too 🍔🍺😋

The Night Mayors are Tāmaki’s underground and underrated, making Auckland a place more people want to stay. It’s a forum to hear how cultural icons of the city actually live, their biggest gripes, and their best ideas for Auckland, plus if they were running for Mayor, what their platform would be.

The evening will be moderated by the incredible Charlotte Ryan.

🎤

Grayson Goffe (Te Āti Awa, Taranaki) – Activist and facilitator working at the intersection of community, Indigenous identity, and creative practice.
