Southern Cross

Functions

For over 100 years, our place has been a favourite meeting spot for locals. We’re a melting pot of the community, striving to make The Cross a space for all.

No matter who you are, we offer an escape from the CBD landscape. Find comfort in our classic food offering or discover a new favourite. Quench your thirst with reliable Kiwi bevvies on tap, or branch out with a feature cocktail.

Get comfy in one of our cosy nooks or start the session in our garden bar oasis.

From your mates birthday to slick work parties, there are memories ready to be made (or forgotten, as appropriate). Our functions team are free of charge, free of hassle - ready and able to sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to.

Plus, for every $10 you spend get $1 back as StarSocial StarPoints*, redeemable at any StarSocial local across Aotearoa’s North Island.

Still have questions, or want to pencil in a booking? Spare us a few details below and we’ll come right back to you.

Our Spaces

The Porch

This unique space is located in the top left-hand corner of our garden. Great for casual groups of up to 45 guests. This covered outdoor area is the perfect spot to catch some sun, though if the weather isn’t being kind, you have a fireplace, overhead heading, and blankets to keep you and your guests toasty. It also features both smoking and non-smoking sections.

The Gallery

The Gallery is a versatile space with zinc-top tables stretching down the middle and space to mingle. We can put wooden screens across the entrance if you want something more private. The Gallery also hosts our “featured artist” – this area doubles as a space for local artists to display and sell their work - please chat with us for more info.

The Guest Room

The Guest Room is decked out with a 54" plasma screen, cordless microphone, and sound system. Just bring a laptop or iPod. It's as easy as pie! The space also flows perfectly into our beautiful garden. As well as being a fantastic space for evening shindigs, this space is also great for business/corporate events during the day. We can swap the furniture for a boardroom/theatre style for up to 30 people and have a whiteboard on hand and homemade catering
