Balancing the budget while supporting local business can be tricky. But if you’re an Auckland local, perhaps a “power lunch”, a “quiz series” or a “otto hour” is a budget-friendly way to experience these fabulous hotspots.
Somm
Leave the office early and head the happiest of hours at Somm on Auckland’s waterfront. Enjoy a selection of $7 drinks from 3pm – 5pm daily or visit on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to indulge in $2 oysters (until they’re sold out). The oysters are served au naturel with a touch of lemon, they make the perfect prelude to your evening drinks and dinner. Somm also has a series of live music performances throughout the summer.

Andiamo
The sun streams down on the Herne Bay local’s corner spot all day, but during golden hour is when the magic happens, and now Andiamo has a name for it – “Otto Hour.” From 4pm – 5pm enjoy a curated menu featuring eight exquisite drinks, each priced at just $8!
