Need a little joy, Auckland?

It’s time for us to do what we do best once again - welcome you back for a beer, a bite, and more than ever, a dose of bloody good, kiwi hospitality.

Believe us when we say we know it’s been tough. But as we’ve worked our way through the challenges faced by hospitality, you gave us your support. This time, we’re giving back to you.

Visit Joylab’s bars, pubs or restaurants on a Wednesday during September and eat what you like, then pay what you think it’s worth.

That’s right. Every Wednesday this month, we’re letting you call the shots.

What ‘should’ you pay? If you’ve enjoyed your meal, around 70% of the sale price would ensure you win, and help us pay the bills. Any more, we’d be chuffed. Any less, we’ll still be chuffed, so long as we’ve helped you out in doing so.

Welcome back, Auckland.

Every Wednesday from 5pm we'll be serving up classic American style hot dogs for only $1. There's a limit to five hot dogs per drink, but by then you’ll probably need another beverage to wash down all the deliciousness.
