DASH

DASH brings an easy-going all-day rhythm to Auckland’s city centre, a relaxed hotel restaurant a short stroll from Spark Arena. Sunlit tables spill onto the street while cosy corners beckon inside, setting the scene for long lunches, mid-adventure pit stops and relaxed dinners. It is a welcoming address for families, with a genial hum from midday arrivals to the evening’s close.

In the kitchen, familiar comforts are given a playful, globe-trotting twist. Mini DASH sliders stack crispy chicken with silky brie and spiced mayo, or Angus beef with a smoky Kiwi BBQ glaze. Skewers arrive hot from the grill, from Black-’n-Cajun spiced chicken with chimichurri to prawns glossed with a gochujang glaze, sesame and lime cutting through the richness.

Heftier cravings are well met. The Dash Smash Burger leans into special sauce and cheddar, while a beef scotch fillet steps out with café de Paris butter or chimichurri. For something from the sea, the classic fish and chips are a crowd favourite, even better paired with a crisp Albariño, whose bright citrus notes and refreshing acidity make the perfect match.

Whether you're after the lively energy of the sports bar, with great music, cocktails on tap and all the big games on screen, or the more relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and outdoor dining area, DASH offers the best of both worlds. Drop in for a quick bite, settle in for a leisurely meal, and let the good times gather at DASH.
