Good place to watch bands. It can get steamy inside the room, good loud sound. There is an open area where the bar is. They only serve drinks in plastic cups. Nice staff and especially the door guy. They have limited toilets one for ladies near bar and another side of stage. Be prepared to wait.
Small entrance be prepared to wait a little to get in. Iconic venue you will love if you’re a true lover of bands.

Great venue for live music. Had a great night . South Summit and Th Goodside were EPIC..didn't get to hear the first opening act....even had a fire alarm and had to evacuate and that went well to!! Thank you double whammy!!

Probably my favorite venue ever from an aesthetic/feeling. It felt very alternative/punk. Tickets were reasonably priced, the bands were super entertaining, so far my favorite part of visiting Auckland. If you love music that comes from the soul and isn’t some corporatized lowest common denominator crap, then you absolutely should visit the Whammy Bar and the Double Whammy. Whether you’re an international tourist like me, or a local, supporting local music has never been more fun.

Whammy Bar has been an absolute institution on K Road for as long as I can remember, and after frequenting it for over 15 years, I can confidently say it’s still just as great as ever. When it became Double Whammy Bar after Wine Cellar closed its doors, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but honestly, nothing has been lost. The vibe, the gigs, the staff, and the drinks list are all spot on. It’s a small venue with a big heart, and it continues to be one of the best places in Auckland for live music and a good night out. Love this place!

Dodgy wooden Ramps join the various levels of this very small venue, I'm sure they've taken down a few good people in heels. Bathrooms are not great and considering at a bar all you really have is your bar and your loos to pride yourself on, there was no pride. Unless I had another gig to watch here, I doubt I would return

These guys are legends after I accidentally lost my wallet in Auckland.
By using messenger I contacted the bar this morning and they immediately replied and said yes they had it.
Had a great night as well.
Very very pleased, and I was able to pick up after hours at there suggestion.
I can't thank everyone enough.
Brilliant service and how amazingly honest .

It's got a charm to it, good live music venue.
Bar is separated from the music venue so it has a cool concert feeling. You can of course take your drink through with you.
Sound is great!
