What people say

The Empire, located on Victoria Street West in Auckland, has received mixed reviews from various sources. According to a recent review in the New Zealand Herald, the pub offers a "lively atmosphere" and "decent pub grub", but the service can be slow during busy times. The review was published in March 2021.

A review in Metro Magazine from November 2020 praised The Empire's "impressive selection of craft beers" and "friendly staff", but noted that the food was "hit or miss". The reviewer also mentioned that the noise level could be overwhelming at times.

Online reviews on TripAdvisor are generally positive, with an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on over 200 reviews. Customers have praised the pub's atmosphere and drink selection, as well as its central location. However, some reviewers have complained about slow service and high prices.

One customer wrote on Google Reviews that they had a "fantastic experience" at The Empire, with "great beer and food" and "friendly staff". Another customer commented on TripAdvisor that they enjoyed the live music and cozy atmosphere, but found the food to be overpriced.

Overall, it seems that The Empire is a popular spot for drinks and socializing, but opinions are divided when it comes to the food and service. It may be worth checking out for its craft beer selection and lively atmosphere, but customers should be prepared for potential crowds and noise levels.
