What's On

The wait is over! Most of your local Joylab establishments have once again opened their doors and can now welcome you back for a bite OR a brew, with all others to follow in the weeks to come. Like you, we could not wait.

Keeping you safe in our environment remains our top priority, however we are also committed to ensuring although your experience may differ from what you know, it will still be one you love.

You’ll find our new opening dates below and hours on each establishment’s website – be the first to secure your spot by booking online here or via phone. Please note capacity restrictions mean pre-bookings will be reduced in order to also accommodate walk-ins.

Whilst this marathon is far from over, we cannot thank you – our loyal customers – enough for your past, present and future support and for choosing us as your first choice local.

We may have been shaken, but we won’t be stirred.

See you soon Auckland.

Our commitment to keeping you safe.

Our goal is to get everyone home safe, every day. We are confident the level 2 guidelines of reduced customer numbers being seated, separated and looked after by a single server, alongside our additional health and safety measures (learn more here) allow our establishments to operate a safe environment. Should you have any additional suggestions on how we can keep you safe, please let us know.

Expired Joylab Rewards Dollars and vouchers

Joylab is about bringing people together, and even though how we do so has changed, allowing you to do so using earned Joylab Rewards Dollars has not.

Any Rewards Dollars which expire between 24 March - 14 May 2020 will be reinstated onto your account with a new expiry date of 31 August 2020. In order to allow us time to reinstate these balances, this will be completed by the 31st May 2020. We thank you for your patience as we do so.

The same applies to all Joylab or establishment vouchers which have expired during this time.

While the way we connect with others may have been mixed, shaken and stirred for now, we wanted to keep the simplest of joys alive from home. We've figured out a way to get many of your favourite beverages delivered to your door all from one place, with contactless delivery to keep you safe.

Our bars have served us well over the years. Now it’s time for us to serve them.

15 of your favourite Joylab drinkeries, meeteries and eateries are now open across Auckland, and ready for you to head down with your mates for a bite or a brew.

We're so grateful for the support which has been shown to us over recent weeks. Whilst this marathon is far from over, we cannot thank you – our loyal customers – enough for your past, present and future support and for choosing us as your first choice local.

Now you can join us for a drink whether you’re dining or not, and we've got some bloody good reasons to #backyourbar and join us for a cold one. Check them out below.

Celebrate the return of your local with these sweet deals on some of your favourite brews.

Grab a bucket of 4 x Heineken or Heineken 0.0% bottles OR a 1.8L jug of Export for just $25 each.

It's the perfect excuse to support your favourite local and reconnect with mates over a cold one. Cheers to that.

#backyourbar

It is with great sadness we share our beloved bar, Birdie’s, left the Joylab flock and closed its doors. We wanted to say thank you to all who supported the Birdie’s team over recent years.

If you are visiting Sylvia Park make sure you pop into Garrison Public House right next door where you can continue to earn and redeem Joylab Rewards Dollars while you shop, or head to one of our 20 other establishments across Auckland.

Miss grabbing a bite and a brew from your favourite local? We can help with that.

Introducing Isolation Inspiration, where we'll share some of our favourite dishes from across the Joylab network for you to whip up at home.

Share your creations on Instagram or Facebook by tagging @joylabnetwork in your pics - we'd love to see them!

Feel like a cheeky few? Set your sights on Odd Company – a new ready-to-drink brand who might just become your new fun friends.

Feel like The Fancy One with gin, cucumber and lime. Be The Cheeky One with vodka, peach & passionfruit, or turn into The Party Guy with vodka, lemon, lime & yuzu. Some are quirky, some are classic. All of them like a good time.

We are disappointed to inform you our quiz is currently on hold until further notice.

At Coops we like things super, so it's no surprise that we're making our weekly quiz super too.

This is no average pub quiz. Hosted by Jim Cawthorn, expect a quiz that's bigger and bolder than the rest, with bonus games chucked in to shake things up a bit. If the games don't shake you, our epic frozen margaritas are sure to do the trick. Go easy, tiger.

Put your crew to the test and book your table now.

Every Wednesday at 7pm

It’s time to dig under your car seat, dive into the depths of your couch and find that precious little gold coin for Sweat Shop's Dollar Dog Wednesdays!

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.

We are disappointed to inform you our quiz nights are currently on hold until further notice.

Please continue to check this page for further updates over the coming weeks.

Auckland’s Original Bottomless Brunch ~ $47.5

Here at Lula's we've grown quite fond of that delicious weekend in-betweeny meal – not quite breakfast, not quite lunch - but the perfect excuse to fuel up for the day while still indulging a little (or a lot). Brunch has really become our favourite meal(s) of the day and we've improved it with bottomless daytime-appropriate mocktails, bubbly and cocktails.

Bookings essential, maximum group size of 10 people.
Please note this is an R18 event only. No children or guests under 18 are permitted to attend.

Please ensure you have read Lula's Bottomless Brunch Terms & Conditions below before making your booking.

It's no secret that everyone loves a sticky, deep-fried chicken wing. Some of us are spice-lovers and some of us wimps are not, but none of that matters when you're getting your fingers dirty and chomping on that chicken-y greatness.

Join us every Tuesday for $1 Birdie's Buffalo wings and, top tip, wash them down with a frosty cold Monteith's or two.

We’ve been seeing a lot of you enjoy a Heineken 0.0% this summer, and we can understand why when you’re attending your fair share of catch-ups where food and drink are plentiful. Heineken 0.0% has been one of our best mates too, because it still offers the great taste of Heineken we know and love. That’s why we’re stoked to offer Heineken 0.0% on tap for the first time in NZ; arguably the best way to enjoy a beer, wrap your chops around a cold, fresh 0.0% on tap for a limited time only and at the following select Joylab establishments;

Coops Corner Pub, Viaduct Harbour
Regatta Bar & Eatery, Takapuna
The Merchant Pub, Albany
The Postman's Leg, Glenfield

We are disappointed to inform you that Live Band Karaoke is currently on hold until further notice.

Please continue to check this page for further updates over the coming weeks.

-------------------------

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.

You can even start the night off with Bottomless Pizza! Find out more and book your spot here.

We are disappointed to inform you that Jukebox Live is currently on hold until further notice.

Please continue to check this page for further updates over the coming weeks.

-----------------

Live at Lula's are turning up the tempo every Thursday as our real-life Jukebox plays nothing but songs requested by YOU.

So kick it off with a ballad, bring back the old-school then take it home with a banger as we dance (if you want to) the night away with Auckland's LIVEliest Jukebox.

Simply write your requests, hand it to the band (add a tip for good measure) and enjoy the songs you love played LIVE.
