1946 Butchery brings an elevated charcoal Korean barbecue experience to Auckland, led by a team focused on real flavour and honest craft. The concept centres on premium cuts, traditional grilling techniques, and a dining experience built to feel authentic, modern and unmistakably Korean.
Rather than a standard a la carte format, 1946 offers a range of charcoal barbecue experiences, from small group gatherings to larger hosted events, each built around real charcoal, fresh preparation and authentic Korean flavour. The venue is also available to book for private events.
1946 Butchery is open seven days, with reservations available directly through the website alongside a dedicated venue hire option for groups and events.
1946 Butchery brings an elevated charcoal Korean barbecue experience to Auckland, led by a team passionate about real flavour and honest craft. The focus throughout is on premium cuts, traditional grilling techniques, and a dining experience designed to feel authentic, modern and unmistakably Korean.
Rather than gas or electric grills, 1946 Butchery centres its menu around real charcoal — the kind of traditional Korean grilling technique that shapes flavour in a way modern shortcuts can't replicate. The kitchen's approach is built on fresh preparation and honest craft, taking premium cuts and letting the cooking method do the work.
Beyond a standard sit-down menu, 1946 offers what it calls Seoul Experiences — a range of charcoal barbecue formats spanning small group gatherings through to larger hosted events. Each experience is built around the same foundations: real charcoal, fresh preparation, and authentic Korean flavour, whether it's a casual dinner for a few or a bigger group booking.
1946 Butchery also offers its space for venue hire, making it an option for private events and group bookings beyond the regular dining room. Details on hosting an event can be arranged directly through the website.
1946 Butchery is located at 231 Archers Road, Wairau Valley, Auckland. It's open Sunday to Thursday from 11.30am to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 11.30am until 2am. Reservations and venue hire enquiries can both be made through the website, and the full menu is available as a downloadable PDF.
