THERE’S SOMETHING ON THE HORIZON… 🏴‍☠️

The crew are getting restless.
The rum is stocked.
And there’s been suspicious talk of eye patches.

Saturday 19 September.

Apparently it’s our kind of day.

🏴‍☠️ WE’RE LOOKING FOR A FEW NEW CREW MEMBERS

If you’re friendly, reliable, enjoy working with good people and reckon a waterfront workplace beats staring at four walls all day, we’d love to hear from you.

🍺 Bar Staff – previous experience preferred; a Duty Manager’s Certificate would be a bonus.

👨‍🍳 Commis Chef – Full Time – join our kitchen team and develop your skills in one of Auckland’s best-known seafood restaurants.

Happy Father’s Day from Swashies! ⚓️

Here’s to all the dads, grandads, stepdads and father figures joining us around the table today.

Good seafood, a cold drink, plenty of character and one of Auckland’s best waterfront views. It’s a pretty good recipe for spending Father’s Day together.

We’re expecting a very busy one today, so if you’re hoping for a restaurant table, please check online for any remaining availability rather than calling the team during service.

And as always, our waterfront deck and Boat Shed Bar are walk-in only, so there’s still a chance to grab a spot, pull up a chair and raise a glass to Dad. 🍻

Happy Father’s Day from all the crew at Swashies! 🏴‍☠️⚓️

Hello Spring! 🌼☀️

The days are getting longer, the evenings are getting lighter, and the Swashies deck is calling.

Grab a cold drink, order up some fresh seafood and settle in by the marina. Spring is a pretty good time to rediscover one of Auckland’s favourite waterfront spots. ⚓️🍤🍻

Spring evenings can fill up quickly, so book your table online before you head down.

See you at Swashies!

🏴‍☠️ WE’RE LOOKING FOR SWASHIES PEOPLE ⚓

You know Swashies. We’re not exactly your average restaurant - and we’re not looking for average either.

We’re on the hunt for some good people to join the crew:

🍺 Duty Manager
👨‍🍳 Commis Chef
🍽️ Floor Staff – Full-time & Part-time

Experience is great, but personality counts for plenty around here.

We want friendly, reliable people who enjoy having a yarn, can handle themselves when things get busy, look after our customers and aren’t afraid to muck in with the rest of the crew.

There are a few qualifications we need for certain roles, but mostly we’re interested in finding good people who just get what Swashies is about.

Sound like you? Or perhaps you're reading this and immediately thinking of someone who'd fit right in?

📧 Send your CV and a little about yourself to [email protected]

And to our regulars - if you know someone who’d make a great Swashie, tag them below or send this their way. 🏴‍☠️⚓

Bit of lemon and straight into it 🍋

The Pirates Platter is one of those Swashies favourites that really doesn’t need much of an introduction.

Oysters, shrimp, smoked salmon, scallops, king prawns, mussels and battered fish, all piled onto one seriously generous platter.

Perfect for sharing, but we’ll leave that decision up to you 😏

Grab a table, order a cold one and settle in by the water.

⚓ Fish Goujons on the deck at Swashies ⚓

⚓ Proud to be recognised by Viva as one of Auckland’s best “proper pubs” ⚓

Swashbucklers has once again featured in Viva - this time in their roundup of Auckland’s best proper pubs alongside some of the city’s most iconic hospitality venues.

The article describes Swashies as “quintessentially Auckland” - the kind of place where sitting by the water with a pint just feels right.

For nearly 30 years we’ve been serving fresh seafood, cold drinks, and relaxed waterfront hospitality to locals and visitors alike. From long lunches on the deck to sunset sessions by the marina, Swashies has always been about good food, good company, and making people feel welcome.

A huge thanks to our loyal customers and crew who continue to make Swashbucklers such a special part of Auckland’s waterfront hospitality scene.

Here’s to many more cold ones on the deck 🍻🌊
