Central Auckland cocktail bar Deadshot has announced it will close after 8 years.
Owners Ali Walker and Heather Garland said the decision was due to family, as kids Eli and Otis will soon start school, and they wanted to “spend the family time together that we need.”
“Cocktail bar hours and school hours are a tricky combination so we believe this is the right solution.”
A self-fashioned speakeasy bar, Deadshot is located behind a nondescript door next to Freeman and Greys in the central suburb of Ponsonby.
“For us, having our bars be owner operator bars has always been non-negotiable.One of our favourite things about this industry is visiting venues and being served by the people who dreamed the place up, it's part of the magic.”
