What's On

It’s time, Auckland.

To feel the atmosphere you can’t get at home.
To taste the delight of a meal shared with friends.
To see a spark in the eyes of a newfound flame.
To hear the buzz of conversation spoken over a drink.
To live the celebrations of occasions missed.

To experience joy, again.

After a very long 15 weeks, we’re stoked to be able to welcome you back at your local Joylab establishment from Friday 3 December.
At red we’re operating with limited capacities, so we recommend you book your spot now.

We reckon this summer is one well worthy of a cold beer or two, but before we pour, we’ll need to check your vaccination passport and ensure we all adhere to the Covid-19 Protection Framework guidelines.

Our network of local drinkeries, eateries and meeteries are buzzing to see you again.

Welcome back, Auckland.
