Situated at 270 Karangahape Road, Auckland City, it is at the prime location for party goers.
As the above photo, there are always activities happening in this bar seven nights of the week. So whether if you want to catchup with friends, to sing your heart out, or to dance till your pants drop, you can always come to this place.
I always wanted to take my camera into the bar for a few party shots but on a second thought, it might not be a good idea.. So we went in during the day when human traffic is less heavier. And these are a few photos I took.
Large bar area
They have a good selection of alcoholic beverages. Enough to drink till you can't remember what your mother's name is
Dance floor at the right green area
Stage for drag shows, karaoke, full monty, and all sorts
It is a very colourful bar. Well... hello~ it is a gay bar... but some nights to our surprise, we found more straight people in the bar than people like us, gay. So it is a really open-minded venue, everyone is welcome here. And we've seen all sorts of people in there too to be frank.
Look at the size of the balls!
The lighting effects are absolutely amazing on party nights when DJs spin their discs playing well-mixed hardhouse music as fog machine oozes out tonnes of theaterical smoke. The dance floor gets filled out pretty quickly.
Bar staff are extremely friendly. Eventhough most nights they are so busy they wish they have more than three hands to serve, they never frown a bit. A big complimentary smile always come with their excellent service.
Yes! Not to mention drag queens are one of the main attractions of this bar. Drag shows are often held on Friday and Saturday after midnight where drag queens miming and dancing to pop songs. Honestly I don't know why people call them 'drag' queens... somebody please enlightened me...
Celebrity drag queen Miss Ribena is a local at Family Bar
A few drag queens and moi on my 'Hen's night' (not in Family Bar)
And it is so nice to see that the bar actually encourage everyone to practice safe sex..
By the way, Mr. Gay Auckland 2008 competition is on! Any hot guys out there?!
