Carousel Lounge Bar

what happened this evening is in need of for further explanation. I was transiting from WOOF bar to Carousel - following a group of friends. When approaching the door, I held of from entering because I still had a half a glass of wine in my hand. Assuming that this was not okay i stood away from the entrance to finish it. After walking up I was told I was not allowed to enter because The door person saw me finish a glass of wine which was not allowed on that street and that that glass of wine was the property of another venue. Being new to NZ I was not aware of that rule and proceeded to return the glass to the previous venue. After approaching the door again, the door man said that it would not matter what I would do but I would not be allowed to enter the venue. I can conclude anything else other than think, that at this point, he was being bias towards my person. Since he clearly saw that I belonged to another group of friends that all got let into the venue. I was wearing make up & was dressed up. I would ask for caution of minority groups who want to enter this location, the Door person differentiates based on appearance it my conclusion from this event.

Love this place. Came here curiously wanting to try a few cocktails one night with my fianc. Have visited a few times since then. There's such an extensive range that will meet all pallets. Haven't had a bad one here. Photos are from a few weeks ago - pina colada, polish sunset, key lime and bee's knee's. Service is pretty quick too. Props to this team for that - cocktails can take a bit of extra work. Local turned regular visitor (:
