From Level 16, the terrace looks straight over Auckland city and the Waitematā Harbour, which is exactly where you want to be when the light starts dropping. HI‑SO Rooftop Bar sits on Level 16 of SO/ Auckland at 67 Customs Street East, Auckland 1010, high enough for the skyline and water to do most of the talking.

The drinks are the point, not an afterthought. The cocktail menu features in-house signature drinks including THE LAST STING, HI‑COCO and HACKNEY SPRITZ; Hollie Wright, credited as a mixologist here, has been profiled for signatures including THE LAST STING. Order with the horizon in view and the appeal is very clear.

Food is kept in the right register for rooftop drinking: Karaage Chicken, Truffle Mushroom Arancini and Oysters of the Day are there to share rather than slow the evening down. On weekends, DJ sessions and ticketed events shift the room from polished sundowner spot into a later-night address.
