Where to celebrate Negroni Week

Here, at dish, we’re partial to a Negroni or two. Strong and bitter, this drink is not for the faint-hearted. We've rounded up our top bar picks for your Negroni Week (June 24-30) enjoyment.
We know what we like and, for us, the cocktail is to be traditionally made: equal parts red vermouth, Campari and gin – all of good quality, of course – and to be served in a short glass with a singular large cube of ice. The rim of the glass should taste of citrus and we appreciate a good coil of orange peel. Perfection.
Make the most of Negroni Week, wet your whistle with a drink at one of our favourite New Zealand bars. Some places will be serving their take on a Negroni, while others will serve the traditional cocktail. So, mosey on down to one of the below establishments and celebrate with us, glass in hand. Or if you prefer, enjoy a tipple in the comfort of your own home while listening to our carefully-curated playlist.
