Here at The Merchant, we believe that every event has its own story to tell, and for that story we aim to create a unique experience designed specifically for your needs. Our approach is centred on the belief that every event should be about you and not limited by our establishment.

With that in mind, every event at The Merchant is a unique blend of colour, variety and style; add in a selection of beautifully curated food and drinks plus great company, and you have the recipe for the best experience.

From your mates birthday to slick work parties, there are memories ready to be made (or forgotten, as appropriate). Our functions team are free of charge, free of hassle - ready and able to sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to.

Plus, get $1 back for every $10 you spend on your function with Star Social rewards*, redeemable at any of Star Group's 50+ bars, pubs & restaurants across the North Island.

Our Spaces

The Pub

The Pub is the heart of our venue! Located directly in front of the bar + decked out in relaxed splendour, the pub suits a variety of style of function. Best loved for its casual atmosphere, you can enjoy a get-together with friends, the next sporting event or have the whole space for a special occasion. With a clever mix of both seated + standing space, the pub comes with six large TVs. The space can be extended to include the lounge, to significantly increase capacity.

The Lounge

This is a relaxed and sun-filled space that has been used for a variety of events. Definitely a fan favourite amongst our guests, the raised space allows for a relatively private experience, but with the added benefit of still being able to enjoy the festivities of the pub. Often used in conjunction (or part thereof) with the pub as space for larger groups. TV screen available for use.

Seated 40 | Cocktail 60

The Restaurant

This is a warm + welcoming space, which is ready + waiting for your next get-together. Whether it’s a long lunch with colleagues, festive feast with friends or dinner with your family - the space works well whatever the occasion. Sun drenched during the day + cosy in the evening. This space has the added benefit of the wooden sliding doors to bring the outside in, for an easy flow onto the Eastern Terrace. The restaurant is available for exclusive hire or you can book tables for smaller groups. Capacity can be extended to 100 with use of some of the pub space.

The Terrace

Home to what we consider the best sun-drenched deck in Auckland. Whilst the total capacity is as stated below, it’s best divided into its Eastern + Western sides as the front door of the venue separates the two ends. With a mixture of covered + uncovered seating as well as smoking + non-smoking areas, this is both a great space in the summer + winter months. Fancy one of our gourmet BBQs? This is the place for it. We’ll happily corner off an area, though you might make others envious when they smell what’s cooking.

Seated 250 | Cocktail 400

Full Establishment

Boasting two bars, raised stages, a sun-drenched 50m outdoor terrace, open plan layout + capacity to hold large groups, The Merchant Pub Co. provides endless planning opportunities for your next event, your way.
