The Tuning Fork

Located in one wing of Spark Arena, this lively joint is always buzzing with energy. From acoustic solo acts to big bands, you'll find a variety of music genres to get your feet tapping. Everything from indie rock, pop, and alternative to folk, country, hip hop, and electronic can be found at The Tuning Fork. 

The atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly, and the staff are always keen to have a yarn and make sure everyone's enjoying their night. 

The bar stocks a variety of craft beer, wine and spirits, and the bartenders can mix up some delicious cocktails for you. If you're feeling peckish, there's a tasty range of bar snacks available, such as fries and fried chicken.  

Inside the bar (on your left when you enter), there is an amazing wall of fame which displays posters of all the performers who have played at the music venue and even some artists such as IDLES or Billie Eilish, who played their first New Zealand show here. 

The venue is always full of passionate music fans, and you'll often find yourself lost in the energy of the crowd. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends and experience Auckland's vibrant music scene.
