SkyCity is opening New Zealand’s highest bar in partnership with the world’s number one selling Champagne brand, Moët & Chandon. SkyBar will open to the public on Friday, June 23.
“What could be better than enjoying a cocktail or glass of bubbles in luxury surroundings with absolutely the best view in town,” says SkyCity general manager of hospitality David Allott.
With elevated 360-degree views of the Auckland skyline, SkyBar will offer an extensive list of premium local and international wines, including a selection of vintage Moët & Chandon bottles, and top shelf spirits and cocktails.
“We’ve been looking for the perfect location to bring our world-class offering to New Zealand and we’ve found that here at SkyCity,” says Moët Hennessy New Zealand general manager Tom Gilbert.
A curated range of cocktails have been designed to reflect the surrounding geographical features of Tāmaki Makaurau. Examples include the ‘Aoraki’, featuring Central Otago Riesling, honey and pink grapefruit, or a ‘Rūaumoko Paloma’ infused with red bell pepper cordial.
A destination from sunrise to sunset, SkyBar’s menu will be a masterclass in quality local ingredients, with share plates including smoked green lip mussels, duck liver parfait, and a smoked vegan cheese fondue.
“We’ve set our best chefs to design a superior menu which complements not only the glass in hand, but showcases some immensely talented local producers,” says David.
Those with a sweet tooth will delight in the selection of handcrafted pastries, and premium range of chocolate bonbons which can be enjoyed day and night.
