The Broken Lantern
Broken Lantern is a beautiful two-level venue in an iconic 100-year-old building on Ponsonby Road.
On the ground floor, our street-side seating is a popular area to enjoy the lively Ponsonby Road. Within the main bar & restaurant, you'll find a variety of seated tables, leaners, and bar stools. Sit and enjoy the action as our bartenders pour any of our 20 taps, select boutique wines and create bespoke cocktails from our extensive list created by an international award-winning team. There is also a private garden on this level that gets beautiful afternoon sun and sunsets to the west. On the upper level, you'll find a cocktail lounge with a secretive speakeasy-style entrance that leads you through an old video store and a hidden door behind a DVD case. Further spaces include a private function space and a pool room equipped with its own bar and projector. Our core menu includes burgers, pizza, a selection of pub classic dishes, and, of course, a fun selection of bar snacks with vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. For private events, we offer bespoke canapés & beverage packages to meet your needs. From whisky or wine tastings to bespoke cocktail creations, cocktail packages, and more, you certainly won't go home thirsty from an event at The Broken Lantern.
