Perched high above Queen Street on the 20th floor of Four Points by Sheraton Auckland, The Churchill stands as one of the city centre's premier rooftop destinations. Blending historic inspiration with modern cocktail sophistication, this elevated venue offers guests front-row seats to panoramic vistas across Auckland's skyline.
From the moment the elevator doors open twenty floors up, the tone is established by refined interiors, attentive service, and an unmistakable sense of craft. Taking its cues from Sir Winston Churchill's legendary appreciation for fine spirits and sharp wit, the bar frames an elegant evening setting suitable for sunset aperitifs, dinner gatherings, or celebrations under the stars.
The beating heart of The Churchill is its comprehensive spirits program, headlined by a remarkable library of over 160 gins sourced locally and from leading distilleries worldwide. Bartenders treat each pour with deliberate precision, balancing botanicals, ice, and premium tonics to highlight individual flavour profiles.
Beyond gin, the bar presents an extensive cocktail list featuring bespoke recipes reminiscent of mid-century classics alongside contemporary twists. Guests visiting during Saturday late-night hours can experience Naughties with Belvedere DJ Sessions, pairing nineties anthems with skyline lights and vodka creations.
To accompany its drink program, The Churchill serves a tailored dining and late-night food menu centred around elegant shared plates and flavour-forward bites. Rather than standard pub snacks, dishes are thoughtfully composed to enhance spirits and wine pairings, providing both light nibbles and substantial fare.
Among the culinary highlights is The Tomahawk Experience, presenting a generous Tomahawk steak matched with chosen red wines. Seasonal set dining options, such as multi-course menus featuring matching mini cocktails for each plate, give diners an opportunity to sample harmonised flavour combinations while looking out over the city lights.
Whether stopping by between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM for Sunset Sessions happy hour or settling into a booth for a weekend nightcap, timing your visit around dusk captures the dramatic shift from golden hour to city nightscapes. Due to high demand and strict age requirements, booking ahead guarantees prime seating against the expansive floor-to-ceiling vistas.
