The Park Hyatt is a recent addition to Auckland’s waterfront, and so, too, is the resident bar, a chic and cosy den in the heart of the city. Along with a beautiful night-time view of the Viaduct, the staff are sweet and friendly. The cocktails for two, made to share, make it perfect for date night. These fall into the “traditional with a twist” category, like the White Cloud — it’s similar to an espresso martini but with chocolate and cream — or the N14, which is like a whisky sour but with nitro lemonade.
