REC

The Verdict

Auckland newcomer REC (aka Recreation Records) is all about good tunes and good times. Located in downtown Auckland, this spot triples as a bar, record store and live music venue—rad spot, huh? Visit during the day to sift through their vinyls and grab a bite to eat. They’re all about burgers and toasted sammies served with a side of potato chips and a hearty pickle. Visit during this the night and the space transforms to a spot to let your hair down and get your groove on.
