This is a space designed for lingering. You’ll find a thoughtfully curated menu of drinks and shareable bites, where cocktails are crafted with precision and flair, and the food offering complements the relaxed yet refined setting.

Getting there Te huarahi ki reira

Aka Rooftop sits within easy reach of Auckland’s busiest public transport links. For buses, head to the well-serviced stops along Wellesley Street West — including Wellesley St West near Queen Street — which are just a short 2–5 minute walk away and connect to routes across the city and suburbs. If you’re arriving by train or ferry, disembark at Waitematā Station Transport Centre and the Downtown Ferry Terminal, then enjoy a straightforward 5–10 minute walk uphill through the CBD to reach the rooftop.

Parking near Aka Rooftop is straightforward, with several central city options within easy reach. The Wilson Car Park on Kitchener Street is a convenient choice. The Victoria Street car park and the Civic Car Park are also nearby, both offering easy access and a similar walking distance. Paid street parking is available on surrounding streets, though spaces are limited and often time-restricted — especially during evenings and weekends — so opting for a parking building is recommended for a smoother arrival.
