What Makes this Auckland Dinner Entertainment Experience Different?
A Whole Night of Fun
At Phoenix Cabaret, your entire evening happens under one roof - that’s genuinely rare! Most nights out in Auckland involve cobbling together a restaurant, then a bar, then maybe a show or boogie somewhere else. All with separate bookings, locations, and at least one person who gets lost between venues! At Phoenix Cabaret, you get a complete drag dinner show, where the food, entertainment, and atmosphere are all part of one fabulous experience.
Created by NZ’s Premier Drag Superstar
Our venue was created and produced by Kita Mean, the first winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under. And her level of superstar shows in every detail, from the calibre of performers to the production quality of the show.
This isn’t amateur hour. Every performance is tightly rehearsed, professionally lit, and keeps audiences entertained from start to finish.
Perfect for Groups of Any Size
Whether you’re after a table for two or need a corporate party venue, our cabaret restaurant in Auckland can handle it. We’ve hosted birthday dinners, massive hen’s parties, company Christmas parties, and everything in between.
The venue layout means every seat has a great sightline to the stage, and our team is experienced at managing large bookings without any of the typical headaches associated with venue-hire in Auckland.
