From the team behind one of the city’s most enduring dining destinations comes a cocktail bar of altogether more eccentric ambitions. Stepping into Curio feels like entering the private trove of an obsessive collector, where vintage oddities, Kiwiana and cult cinema ephemera crowd every shelf, and the dimly lit, self-described swamp chic room feels entirely detached from the world outside. The drinks match the character, playful, technically precise and laced with nostalgia, while a clever hydrosol partnership means the full signature list can be enjoyed in low-to-no alcohol form. With oysters and cheese crossing the road from its sister restaurant, Curio is maximalism done with complete confidence, and the details reveal themselves the longer you linger.
