Cannot recommend. Staff aren’t well trained and the general attitude feels like they either don’t want to be there or don’t want you to be there. Actual bar layout is fine but pretty meh. Inexpensive but you get what you pay for. I miss old Shads.
Shadows is a seriously outdated place. The bar staff are rude and non helpful serving you as if they are doing you a service, rather then the other way around. They give you disgusting plastic cups that obviously not clean. It it’s revolting.
This place blows man! I understand it is a student bar, but the hospitality is pretty sub-par. It wasn't a busy night even though it was student night. It might just be me, but I expected better from a place like Shadows, especially given the reputation of the place. Such a shame!
Great prices. Really loved the pool tables however, they’re often out of service, keep in mind they only accept $2 coins which the staff were happy to exchange. Furniture is a bit run down and floors/tables sticky but that didn’t damper the mood. As expected from a student bar. Nothing more nothing less. Be advised there is a wicked wait to get in on Friday and Saturday nights.
Vegan options There are definitely vegan food options here, so you won't go hungry. As for the quality of those items... let's just say this spot is best to drink at!
Egypt has the pyramids. France has the Eiffel Tower. The USA has the Statue of Liberty. And New Zealand has Shadows. Shadows is the quintessential students bar. It is a beautiful, sweaty bar where the jugs are $7 and the patrons are always down for a yarn. It is an institution and the best bar in Auckland, nay, the best bar in the world. Cannot recommend enough. A night in Shadows is guaranteed to be a banging time even if you don't remember it the next day.
Used to love Shads but the quality really went down after the move. Staff was great at first location. Definitely don't believe the second location was a good choice, real downgrade. Security kept watching and glaring at my friend and I when having a drink or two with classmates because we were laughing and enjoying ourselves- maybe we looked drunk? Put us off and we left early. Used to have really well made cocktails and on-tap beer is still good.
Loved the place. Went here at night. Music gradually gets louder throughout the evening, inviting to dance. If that’s not your thing there’s also plenty of space to sit down and have drinks. Beer prices are great for Auckland, we paid $12 for a jug. Staff was friendly and the place itself relatively clean -for a bar. Easy to reach from the city, worth a visit!
Just your average student bar. Lots of drink choices provided you can put up with heaps of smelly teenagers. Food is pretty well priced but a bit slow - I paid $3 for a cheese and pineapple toastie which was very nice, but it took 40 minutes to arrive. There was an event going on in the other room which may have slowed things down. I have also ordered their fish and chips on another occasion, which once again was nice, but slow to arrive. Overall its pretty good, you get what you expect from a student bar.
Nice place. The burgers are AWFUL. The fish bites are barely edible. But you can't complain when a jack & coke is $5, a selection of cocktails is only slightly more, and litre jug of the house beer is $8!
