I Love Ponsonby

If there's one place that separates the undercover, smooth operators from the loud and all talk, it's around a pool table.

PONSONBY POOL HALL is a local icon, a guaranteed good time. They're open seven days and are decked out with international pool tables, English eight-ball tables, and even a private snooker lounge, complete with Rolling Stones memorabilia.

Up for the challenge? We'll see you there 😎

🍔 Start your morning right or go full flavour by night. PonsonBurger has both covered.

Beau Deli's Breakfast Bun is a bun loaded with scrambled eggs, rocket, aioli, chutney, and optional bacon, paired with an Allpress coffee to kick off your day properly.

Then there's Bali Nights' Mie Goreng Rendang Burger, Indomie goreng and slow-cooked Padang beef rendang layered with a runny fried egg, melted cheese, and sambal, all in a soft toasted bun. Indonesian comfort food in the best possible form.

37 venues. 37 takes. Two weeks only, 25 May – 7 June.

🍔 Not your average burger. Not even close.

PonsonBurger is in full swing and some of our spots are taking the humble burger somewhere unexpected. Bold flavours, creative combinations, and a few that'll genuinely surprise you. This is the good kind of sideways.

25 May – 7 June. Find your next favourite at ponsonburger.nz 🍔🔥
