No.7 is a bar at 7/59 Pitt Street in Newton, Auckland, rated 4.8 from 70 Google reviews, with diners praising the focaccia, pasta and cocktails and calling the service warm and friendly. A good neighbourhood bar kitchen keeps its menu short and confident, and a weekly rotation is that idea at full stretch: the kitchen cooks to whatever is best right now, and regulars get a fresh reason to return each week. Because the line-up changes so often, it pays to check a bar's social feed for the week's menu before setting out — in plenty of small bars, that feed is the only noticeboard there is. The better kitchens of this kind also build vegan dishes into the menu proper rather than treating them as an afterthought. With a menu that turns over weekly and vegan-friendly plates done properly, No.7 gives Newton a small bar worth keeping on the regular round.
