About G.A.Y Auckland

G.A.Y Auckland was a central part of Karangahape Road's late-night queer scene, known for drag, pop, DJs and weekend dancing. The club was a regular gathering point for Auckland's LGBTQ+ community and hosted both its own nights and outside promoters. The venue is currently closed until further notice. Events previously based at G.A.Y have moved elsewhere, so travellers should not rely on the historic Friday and Saturday opening hours. This page is retained as an archive and will be reassessed if the club announces a confirmed return.

Been to this place many times, and always enjoy the place. Didn’t know why people said they got discrimination or denied entrance when I’m literally someone who would get discriminated easily (and did happened to me a couple times since Ive moved to NZ), but haven’t had any issues at all. Always brought my passport with me here, and the bouncers were always nice to me. The club opened till late. Going there alone wouldn’t be much enjoyable, unless you’re white (I guess), but I did still enjoy my time here. Drag queens here also worked their asses off, good for them.

I like the vibes and music, its a nice gay club, they also played kim petras and slayyyter and charlie xcx ect, playing all the great queer songs. Would be cool to also hear rihanna, kesha ect. The drag queens are also fantastic!

Such a fun vibe! Had a blast with friends. Staff cut me off pretty quick but I really appreciate the fact they are actually keeping an eye on their customers. Happy Halloween!

Best nightclub on K road! The staff are so friendly and the happiness, safety and inclusivity of all customers is always at the top of their priority list. Great drinks especially the Bust Op cocktail and UV vodka with lemonade. Some of the biggest highlights of this year have been dancing here to the awesome music with great friends. At G.A.Y the highlight of the night would have to be the 1:30am drag shows hosted by Vanessa Laroux, so much talent.

I tried to enter to find the speaker, but from the nationality of the security guard he was despicable and did not open the corridor of smoke and now I lost it, because of their bad treatment, a despicable bar worthless
