About

When in North Island, Caretaker is the local business to seek out for a late drink in downtown Auckland, set downstairs at 40 Customs Street, Downstairs/8 Roukai Lane, Britomart, Auckland 1010, Nueva Zelanda. This bar occupies a basement spot in the Britomart quarter, close to the harbour edge of the city.

Caretaker has built a reputation as a bar that stays open until the small hours, with a 4.7/5 rating drawn from 1,724 reviews. Doors run from 17:00 to 03:00 every day of the week, so the venue suits both early evening arrivals and those finishing a night out. Its website, http://www.caretaker.net.nz/, carries further details about the bar.

The address places Caretaker below street level on Customs Street, within easy reach of Auckland's waterfront. Opening hours of Mo-Su 17:00-03:00 mean the bar operates seven days a week without a closing day.

Caretaker suits couples and solo visitors looking for a late-night bar rather than a family outing, given the evening-to-early-morning schedule. First-time visitors should note the downstairs entrance on Customs Street, since the bar sits below the street. New Zealand's islands enjoy a temperate climate, with December to February the most popular season and mild winters at low altitudes. Local food leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and wines, while domestic flights and ferries link the islands; English and Māori are the main languages.
