Bottle-O Bairds Road is the only bottle shop in the Ōtara Town Centre.

Police have urged an alcohol licensing committee to shut down a bottle shop in an town centre they say is Auckland's worst for anti-social behaviour and public drinking.

Police last week appeared before the Auckland District Licensing Committee at the off-licence renewal application hearing for Bottle-O Bairds Road - the only liquor store at the Ōtara Town Centre.

The application was made in March last year by Jasraj Holdings Limited, a private company operating at the south Auckland town centre since 2005.
