Albert Cafe and Bar Auckland Our Story

Our Story

In 2019, a family-owned bar nestled in the heart of Mount Albert, with a rich history spanning two decades, embarked on an exciting new chapter. Drawing inspiration from the suburb’s storied past, they set out to infuse their establishment with a unique twist: a celebration of Mount Albert’s history alongside a vibrant fusion of flavours and experiences.

This family bar, steeped in the traditions of hospitality and community, sought to introduce locals to a diverse array of offerings. Alongside their 14 tap beer selections, showcasing both local craft brews and international favourites, they aimed to tantalize the taste buds with their own culinary creations—a blend of familiar comfort foods and innovative twists that reflect the melting pot of cultures within Mount Albert.

At the helm of this endeavour was the close-knit family behind the bar, whose passion for both their craft and their community shone through in every detail. With a warm welcome and a commitment to creating memorable experiences, they invited locals to gather, connect, and create new memories together—honouring the past while embracing the future, one shisha puff and beer pour at a time.

But what truly set this bar apart was their introduction of the best shisha experience in town, served up in traditional German pipes. This unexpected twist transported patrons to a world of leisurely evenings spent in conversation and camaraderie, under the glow of softly-lit lanterns and the gentle hum of laughter.

With each puff of aromatic smoke, guests were invited to embark on a journey through Mount Albert’s past, from its humble beginnings as a rural village to its vibrant present as a diverse and thriving community. Historical artifacts and photos adorned the walls, offering glimpses into the suburb’s evolution over the years, while live music and storytelling nights brought its tales to life.
