Price Point: Mains from $15 - $30
For outrageously good pizza and craft beer, try this rooftop bar…
Thanks to their fresh bites, great vibes and awesome service, Mr Murdoch's is the bar to beat in Auckland.
Step onto a cool roof terrace, with urban-jungle vibes and live DJ music, and soak up the view of the city. Relax with a Little Creatures beer, or dive straight into their tasty sharing boards, snacks and wood-fired pizzas.
These are no ordinary pizzas. Their toppings are bold flavour-bombs that defy logic, like the scrumptious chicken with brie and pistachio cream, or the pulled lamb with eggplant and spinach. Top tip: save room for the cinnamon donuts.
Located on Fort Street in the heart of the city, be sure to try this vibrant pop-up!

We really enjoyed our time at the Summer Pop-up.
As soon as you walk in the bar and restaurant look amazing, such cool decoration all around.
The staff were lovely, smiley and friendly
Our food was amazing, nothing extravagant and that's perfect. Nice easy, tasty food. We loved the jalepenos poppers and the squid in particular!
All topped off with good quality Little creature beer. Exactly what we needed!
Would definitely come back and recommend

The customer service was excellent, the shift manager took care of us the moment we walked in. All the other staff were really helpful and welcoming . The food was great & we weren't left waiting long after we ordered. The Fish sliders and the cheese board was delicious. Definitely impressed and will be coming back. I'd definitely recommend this place to others :)

Definitely would recommend coming here. Without a doubt one of the coolest rooftop bars I've ever been. Service was so friendly and everything was so organised. Food was amazing and drink selection was great also. For sure will be coming back.

The summer pop up with Little Creatures was a delight. It was held at a beautiful venue that had both indoor and outdoor seating available as well as two bars. Very well decorated in both spaces and personally was a big fan of the open roof outdoor space that was livened with greenery. Staff were lovely and helpful. Great range of drink options on the menu. The Nosh board was huge and highly recommend as it had a good mix of cheeses, crackers, meats and finger food which was perfect for sharing amongst our group of four. Yum pizzas as well. Highly recommend!

WOW. What a breath of fresh (hospitality) air. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by our lovely host, he took us to our reserved table, explained the menu, and was just so welcoming and accommodating.
Just the two of us for this lunch hang, neither of us had dined here before. Some great options on this menu, very straightforward, not complicated, which is nice to see when you're on a *quick* lunch break,
We ordered the pulled pork burger, reuben sandwich, and a (chicken) caesar salad to share, and a beer of the week which was very tasty, super refreshing as it was a scorching hot day! Our food came out in no time, I was actually quite surprised as it was picking up over the lunch hour too. Food portions are super generous, definitely fulfilled these hungry bellies. Every single team member we interacted with was so friendly, upbeat, attentive to all the little things like filing up water glasses, clearing plates, if we were comfortable etc - and it wasn't overbearing, it was just in a really polite respectful manner. I will happily return here. Well done to the team at Murdoch's - this is the kind of hospitality I miss in Auckland. Thankyou for having us!

What's not to love about Mr Murdoch's? The rooftop bar feel, the banging playlist, the delicious food? And that's not even mentioning the outstanding service we received from our waiter, Will. He was friendly, personable and attentive. We pretty much ate our way through the sharing plates menu - even going back for seconds of the beef/lettuce cups, because they were just so damn tasty! I would definitely recommend Mr Murdoch's and will certainly be back again.

With lunch time booking u can only close from the express lunch menu which consists of burgers and pizzas. Very disappointing, particularly if u have food allergies! Service was great from one very busy waitress but won’t be back.
Melody Aislabie - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 23 December 2019
Very pleasant, friendly staff. Yummy dinner, stealk, fries and a salad .. everything was seasoned and tasty. Salad was (although only a side) could have been just wee bit more generous - thanks

Very tasty pizza! But quite slow service. Think it was just quite a busy night with there was only one person on the bar outside. But a great spot on the rooftop!
Melissa Handley - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 27 November 2019
I came here with a group of friends before q concert and we had a great time! We ordered a platter and some pizzas and the food was delicious! We loved the lamb so much, we ordered more.

Mike Foster - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 18 October 2019
Dinner on a Saturday evening - quick and friendly service in a nice rooftop setting. Quite chilly - blankets would be a good addition here - and when we arrived staff were still visibly cleaning (scrubbing the stairs and walls) which was a little off putting. The food was basic and not particularly inspiring but was enough to fill us up.
Tessa Hawley - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 21 September 2019
We were celebrating my visa approval and this was a perfect way to start the night. We were seated outside near the DJ who was playing at a great volume where we could still talk and enjoy ourselves. The lighting outside was lovely and we had a great view of the surrounding buildings. I have been looking for a great steak and finally found one. The dessert was Pavlova ice cream and we managed to finish it even though we were so full
Marie Montgomery - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 27 September 2019
Meet up with a workmate here for a casual catch up. Nice space, really nice food, and amazing service! Brought out something we hadn't ordered due to a misunderstanding, but they let us have it on the house, and quickly got things sorted. Delicious food - would recommend.

Anthony Broatch - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 13 August 2019
Amazing food and excellent service. Try and get a seat outside (weather permitting) as it's definitely the drawcard for this restaurant. I recommend the meat board, especially for a group booking - delicious!

Dawn McHugh - dined at Mr Murdoch's on 6 July 2019
We had such a great time! The fire alarm went off about 15 minutes after we arrived, which meant we had to vacate the building. The staff were super helpful and friendly about it all and offered everyone in the bar a free drink once we were allowed back in. Great atmosphere! They were very helpful with moving outdoor heaters closer to our table to make sure we were comfortable the entire night
