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.

As a globe-spanning game and cultural phenomenon, rock-paper-scissors is understood universally. A Florida judge, so fed up with bureaucracy and petty quarreling, once ordered two lawyers to settle their dispute with a match. Recently, a concert-goer escaped an underage drinking ticket by beating a benevolent cop. In Japan, a million dollar auction was ultimately decided by a quick 1-2-3-shoot.

The game has transcended playtime and established itself as a legitimate, objective means of problem-solving in the real world.

Put your playground skills to the test and enter in our upcoming tournament, with prizes for winners, band-aids for losers and lots of beer to go around, witness the ultimate showdown of the world's oldest game at The Flying Moa.

Show us your wiener!

The shortest, longest, and fastest event of the year returns for its 4th year!

The official NZ Wiener Derby returns to The Flying Moa for another morning of races, costumes and cuteness overload.

Registrations are open now for miniature and standard dachshunds and a race for wannabe wieners (other small breeds, or doxie mixes).

Even if your four legged friend isn't racing, they can still enter the costume parade, and we are hoping to set a record for the largest group of dachshunds in NZ at one time, so be part of the history books!

Don't have a furry friend? Spectators welcome - get in early for the best views of the race track.
