Needs a Soul
SOUL knows going out these days is much more than just good food and drinks. It’s about experiences you won’t forget and memories you make with your friends and family. That’s why Soul has established itself as a destination for good times in nearly two decades of operation. SOUL’s fresh and unpretentious food and irresistible hand-crafted cocktails deliver elegance and fun in equal measures.
Boasting spectacular sunset views looking out over Auckland’s thriving Viaduct Harbour, SOUL’s live musicians conclude the week just been, rev Saturday nights in Auckland with local and international DJs and ease them into the next by their chilled out Sunday Sessions Summer series. SOUL has achieved the rare feat of being all things to all people: whether you’re looking for a relaxed afternoon of cocktails, business lunch, romantic dinner for two or a late-night party, we’ve got you covered.
Take a look inside
Functions
A private event or simply making things easy, Soul has many options for functions. Our menu planning ensures Soul’s most popular dishes are offered, whilst still giving guests a choice on the night. All dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice, including vegetarian, religious or allergy needs. We do not allow BYO and charge for beverages on a consumption basis only. A deposit of $500 will secure bookings for large groups of 14 people or more – this is deducted from the final bill on the day. We can take care of all the arrangements for you including hireage of conference equipment, flowers, birthday cakes and special menus to suit your needs.
LARGER FUNCTIONS
Any booking for over 14 people will require a set menu. For dinner, you can select one of our 3 course set menus options; on the night guests will be able to choose their entrée, main and dessert. We require the pre-selection of your beverages so our friendly staff can be ready for your arrival. Guests can request an inside or outside table when booking in our main restaurant, however, these are not guaranteed and are allocated by seating time and party size on the day. Our interior restaurant can accommodate up to 85 people for a seated lunch or dinner. The restaurant terrace can seat a maximum of 40 people.
2 course set menus are for lunch only during the months of January to October
PRIVATE DINING
Soul's private room has expansive glass screens separating the room from our bar area. This fantastic indoor space overlooks the bar and terrace area. The room accommodates up to 30 guests seated, along with a fireplace for cooler months. There is a minimum of 15 people in the private dining room and a set menu must be selected for guests. Our private room is available for lunch 7 days a week and for dinner Sunday through Wednesday all year round with the addition of Thursday's during the winter months. $100 per hour private room hire.
*AV equipment can be provided at your request

*We offer a 2 course set menu for lunch only during the months of January to October
COCKTAIL AND CANAPE FUNCTIONS
THE PRIVATE ROOM 35 – 80 PEOPLE:
Ideal for canape events, this space can be booked on the proviso that food must be ordered. For cocktail functions, we supply a portable bar, manned by a dedicated barperson. The portable bar carries your pre-selected beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. For parties over 50 people, we can also offer an area of the terrace directly outside the private room, weather permitting (due to it being an uncovered area). We can partition off this area and leave it empty for guests to mingle, or we can set up furniture as per your requirements.
There is an additional charge of $100 per hour to hire this space.
PARTIES OVER 80:
For functions over 80 people, we can certainly still accommodate you - the bar area can be booked for your group but it would not be totally private. Guests will be served from our main bar complete with our full range of beer, wine and spirits. You will also have staff assigned to look after your group. There is no private room fee when booking this space but we do require the hire of garden hedges to partition off this area so there will be an additional charge that we can advise you of.
PARTIES OF 35 OR LESS:
(or not wanting to book the private room)
If you're after something less formal and not wanting to book the private room, your cocktail party can be hosted in our bar area. Guests will be served from our main bar and canapés will be passed around your group by our wait staff. There is no fee to hire this space, but we will require a deposit to secure this for you.

Along with so many fellow kiwis and people around the world, we feel completely saddened by the catastrophic fires raging through Australia leaving destruction in its wake. So, we at Soul have decided to host a lunch next Wednesday,15th January, where the full ticket price of $75 will be donated to the Salvation Army Australia, WIRES Wildlife Rescue and Red Cross Australia. Our Soul staff are donating their time and our suppliers are donating food and wine to make this all possible. Their generosity has been incredible. Some of our fabulous friends and brand partners have donated their own products so we can auction these off to help raise a little bit more! From Maggie Marilyn vouchers and Kathryn Wilson Shoes, to Trelise Cooper clothing and Silk and Steel Jewellery, again their generosity is overwhelming.
Please join us next week in our aim to raise $20,000 to send to our neighbours to help with food, water, refuge, wildlife recovery, the list goes on.
