Dr Rudi's Rooftop Brewing Co.

The Viaduct Harbour is gorgeous enough but from Dr Rudi's Rooftop Bar, it's a whole new level of beauty. Relish this particular vantage point with modern, sophisticated cuisine and award-winning bottles of the good stuff.

Sail away to pure bliss. Cruise onto their sunny patio where their glass balcony ensures you don't miss a second of viaduct-gazing time. Brimming with potted plants, laughter and life, this is quite simply one of the happiest spots in AKL. Even if the heavens start pouring, head inside to a table big enough to host you, your mates and anyone else you've met along the way!

And with the sea within driving distance, it's no surprise they serve outstanding feasts from the ocean. As well as their crispy fried squid, the seafood medley pizza is perfect for sharing bites whilst their world-famous chicken wings whisk you away when smothered in their housemade blue cheese sauce. For those who want to dip and dive into various flavours, Rudi's range of vege friendly dishes like jalapeño and brie poppers, buttered sweet corn on the cobb and summer salad are perfect.

If you think these are the biggest things on the menu, think again. With pizzas reaching an immense three feet, these giants are designed to be shared between loved ones. Wash it down with a Tuatara, Black Dog or make it one to remember (or not) with a Fiery Passion or Havana Affair cocktail. It's always rad at Rudi's.
