Nick Seeherr, David Hawk and Kenny Ariaens of Suite Bar

One of Auckland’s smallest bars is punching well above its weight, with Suite Bar being awarded Hospitality New Zealand’s Best Bar for 2011.

Tucked away in the basement of a heritage building at 2 Hobson Street in Auckland’s CBD, Suite Bar has been delighting patrons with delicious cocktails and slick service for the past six years, gaining a swag of awards along the way.

Owner-operator David Hawk says that the bar has a philosophy for being at the forefront of trends and having the bravery to break new ground.

“Suite has been a pioneer of the resurgence in New Zealand’s cocktail culture,” says Hawk. “We’re delighted to gain this recognition, despite being a very small player in theNew Zealandbar scene,” he said.
