On Roscommon Road in Wiri, Manukau, Our Local positions itself as "a bar for the best of times" — a cosy, affordable and friendly entertainment hub in the heart of South Auckland. It's built to cover a lot of ground, from a quick after-work drink to a big Friday night out or a full private function.
Our Local keeps its offering genuinely varied. Pool is available at $2 per game, and darts are free, both running seven days a week, while a Happy Hour runs Monday to Friday from 4pm to 6pm. The venue also airs major sporting events live on big screens, making it a natural spot to catch a game with a crowd, and Friday nights bring live music and entertainment from local performers.
The kitchen serves a full chef's menu six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday from midday, with a kids menu also available across those days for families. Mondays are the exception — the kitchen is closed, with only a bar snacks menu on offer. The food menu covers genuine pub restaurant territory: a house Whataburger alongside a veggie and chicken burger, wood-fired-style pizzas including a meat lover's, chicken and BBQ chicken option, and heartier mains like a grass-fed scotch fillet, braised lamb shank and BBQ pork ribs. Starters cover a mushroom croquette, buffalo chicken wings, a baron shrimp cocktail and baronet nachos, and dessert brings a caramel pudding served with fresh cream.
Customer feedback backs up the food's reputation — one group specifically praised the steak, chicken fettuccini, chicken burger and BBQ chicken pizza after a visit, saying they'd "definitely be back for more." Others highlight the atmosphere and staff alongside the food, with one reviewer calling out "friendly service, food, and awesome bands."
Beyond the main bar, Our Local runs a dedicated private functions space complete with its own bar and an outdoor garden area, with freshly prepared functions menus available for events. For anything bigger, the entire venue can be hired out, giving groups the option of a conservatory, the function room, the main bar, or the full site depending on the size of the event. Enquiries can be made directly through the venue's booking form, covering everything from birthdays and work functions to weddings and conferences.
Our Local describes its space as bright, welcoming and inviting — well suited to a quick business lunch, an after-work drink with mates, or a bigger night out with live local entertainers on stage. The venue positions itself as a genuine community spot rather than just a place to pass through, inviting visitors to come down and become one of "Our Locals."
Our Local is located at 254 Roscommon Road in Wiri, Manukau, and can be reached directly by phone or email for bookings and enquiries.
