What's On

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.

The classic kiwi dad. The guy who wants nothing, yet is happy with everything. The one person that makes every Christmas, birthday and Father's Day feel so easy, it's hard.

Treat your Dad not only to a meal fit for a King this Father's Day weekend, but thanks to our pals at The Car Cleaning Company one lucky dad will WIN A YEAR'S WORTH OF CAR WASH VALETS valued at $2500.

Simply visit any Joylab establishment with your Dad over Father's Day weekend (Sat 31 August - Sun 1 Sept) and we'll give you one entry into the draw for every $10 you spend.

See below for full competition terms.
Please note not all Joylab establishments take pre-bookings for Father's Day.

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.

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.

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.

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.
