A Cocktail Bar with Exotic Flavors
Location and Inspiration
CLIPPER is a cocktail bar located in the trendy region of Ponsonby in Auckland, New Zealand.
The bar is inspired by the Golden Age of Travel, whereby Pan Am Clipper planes were used for luxurious travels to exotic destinations to escape prohibition.

CLIPPER offers a wide range of first-class cocktails that combine local and exotic flavors, carefully crafted by one of New Zealand's most experienced bartenders. The bar also serves inventive cocktails divided into lighter Long Haul drinks and punchier spirit-forward Short Haul options, alongside a compact selection of classic twists.
Drinks Menu
