Favourite pubs around the Auckland’s CBD are The Empire Tavern, Leftfield, The Loaded Hog, The Waterfront, Provider, and The Playhouse. Several of these are located in the Viaduct Basin and are great places to pick up new friends. The Carlton Tavern in Newmarket is the place to be on a Thursday night, with two for $10 shakers. There are also a variety of pubs around the wider Auckland region which are well worth visiting.

Just a short walk from the Viaduct Basin is the premier Auckland adult entertainment area. Popular venues are Showgirls and Showboys, Auckland’s most fashionable strip parlours, located on Customs Street. Mermaids bar on Gore Street is the only bar in Auckland with women swimming in a see through pool inside the bar and is a worthwhile stop. Right round the corner on Fort Street are many massage parlours and escort agencies, notably Lipstix and Chances. These Parlours offer a wide range of services from a relaxed place to stop for a drink, or to stay in or go out with an escort. Further a field are Femme Fatale and Centrefold Gentlemen’s Club (A division of Centrefold International limited). The Whitehouse Entertainment Centre on Queen Street is an elegant and refined venue for gentlemen with nightly strip shows.

Escort agencies and massage parlours are found in most areas of Auckland, including Manukau, Epsom, Parnell, North Shore and the Airport - all of these are listed here or in the phone book. Karangahape Road (popularly known as K’Rd) is another main area for evening entertainment, including massage, escort’s, dancing and peepshows. If you are in the area take a walk over the bridge and survey some of Auckland's finest hotspots.

To complement the agencies is a variety of adult shops located all over Auckland. The Den is an international brand with three shops in Auckland. To fulfil your fantasies or for anything you could ever want for sex, Auckland’s adult shops sell it all. The yellow pages list most of them under Adult Entertainment. Prices vary so shop around!

Alternative lifestylers will also find the nightclub G.A.Y. a rewarding experience, a friendly atmosphere with excellent DJ’s who spin tunes all night. This club is located on High Street near Queen Street. Every year there is a huge celebration of the diversity within the gay and lesbian community called the Hero Parade. The Parade is the highlight of a week’s worth of events around Auckland! The festival takes place in February and is a great time to visit.

K’Rd is the happening place for ravers, the queues of people will tell you which places to go to. Bed Bar and Kiss Bar are two of the popular ones. The times to go vary as the ravers hit these clubs at different hours of the evening. Save some money for entry as the prices vary from $7 to $10.
