Join the Auckland-wide battle between boozy classic cocktails and their non-alcoholic clones made with Lyres (the unbelievable 0% ATB spirit).

From 4 to 7 pm at every Joylab location this September, you can wrap your lips around any of these cocktails for only $8.

If you can taste the difference between them, we'll be impressed. If you can't taste the difference, then you might just discover your next favourite drink without the morning-after consequences.

Good things take time.

Just ask Dave, Scott and Steve, three of our much loved-local publicans with almost as much combined wisdom under their belt as the classic 150 year old Old Fashioned.

So sit back and sip back on an old tradition with $9 Old Fashioneds, paired with half price off your burger this August at either (or all) of Dave, Scott and Steve's pubs:
The Zookeeper’s Son, Royal Oak
The Postman’s Leg, Glenfield
The Elephant Wrestler, Takapuna

Offer available between 4.30-6.30pm every Monday - Thursday this August.

Forget about the dingy backroom machine karaoke, headline your own show at The Elephant Wrestler and experience what it’s like to be a rock star with your very own backing band.

Every Thursday, we're giving you the chance to live out your rock star dreams with Live Band Karaoke, playing hits from Alice Cooper to Post Malone, Diana Ross to Will Smith. Simply register at the bar when you arrive.

Beer and cocktail specials on the night.
