Fokker Bros is a small pub located near the Wynyard crossing. It is just one of the many restaurants in an outdoor mall near the docks. The other restaurants in this strip are very nice, but are about $30 to $40 dollars a plate. This pub became one of my favorites because of its atmosphere and diverse menu. The restaurant has large fluffy booths, and they are all in sight of large flat screen televisions that are always showing sports. I went here twice and got to see an NBA game both times. The restaurant has a pleasant sit down atmosphere and doesn’t feel too much like a sports bar.
Fokker Bros advertises their burgers and chicken, but this is not the reason I love it. This restaurant (seems) to be the only one in Auckland that knows how to make proper sweet potato fries.

Aside from the wide selection of beer, another unique item on this menu is their “Dirty Milkshakes.” If you are willing to spend a few extra dollars, I would highly recommend trying one.

There are a few other bars located nearby (including a cowboy themed one.) If that is not enough to convince you to give this restaurant a shot, it is also called Fokker Bros, which is pretty
