The Verdict

What used to be Snapdragon is now home to bar and eatery, The Original. This Viaduct spot takes a modern spin on the classic Kiwi pub with innovative cocktails, interior and food menu. There's seasonal items such as Cloudy Bay clams and rabbit croquettes as well as other tasty delights that will impress even the pickiest of diners (we're talking steak). Want a cocktail? Your ice will be chizzled straight from a giant ice block and popped into your drink.

Sumi
