Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen

Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen is a supercharged rooftop bar and live music venue operated by Joylab at Sale Street in Auckland's city centre, celebrated for hosting one of Auckland's largest rooftop decks with panoramic views over the surrounding urban hub. The atmosphere is energetic and unpretentious, pairing a craft brewery ethos with an eclectic comfort food menu featuring highlights like smoked pork ribs with barbecue sauce, potato tots, and slaw. Housemade beers sit alongside a broader drinks selection, best enjoyed outdoors as the city skyline stretches out in all directions from the expansive rooftop. Live music gigs accommodate over 100 people, with DJ sets, bottomless brunches, and special events keeping the programme varied and engaging. Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen delivers a distinctly Auckland rooftop experience that combines genuine craft beverage culture with a lively entertainment programme in the heart of the CBD.
