Creamy pints of Guinness, drinkers spilling out onto the footpath, and a perfect plate of steak au poivre; walk into Grey Lynn Firehouse on any given evening and you could be forgiven for thinking you had strolled into the streets of Soho. Hospitality veterans Luke Jones and Dave Lincoln bring their experience with the city’s food and drink scene to the thoughtfully restored former firehouse on Williamson Avenue, and launched the city’s new favourite post-work pint spot in the process. Add in a serious menu from Kererū Wilson, formerly of Depot and Cazador, and you have a defining new Ponsonby watering hole.
