Back in summer, we opened a little country bar called Jolene — just for a few months, just for fun. But Auckland showed up, and kept showing up.
So we found a permanent home on Ponsonby Road, and we've been turning up the volume ever since.
Jolene is the woman who walks in like she owns the room. Loud, warm, wild and unapologetically herself. That's who we built this place for — and now you're part of the story too.
Southern-inspired, chef-driven plates built to match the music and the mood. Whiskey that hits right and cocktails made to go down smooth. Jolene's kitchen is no afterthought. It's a reason to stay all night.
From local legends to international names, Jolene's stage is where stories are told, songs are sung and the dancefloor comes alive.
Auckland's little slice of Nashville.
The music's on, the food's hot, the drinks are cold. Jolene just gets it. Nothing else in Auckland feels like this on a Friday night.
We showed up for a birthday dinner and stayed until close. The whiskey is good, the energy is electric and the staff are legends.
She's wild. She's free. She's Jolene. This is not a bar, it's a personality. I've been back four times this month.
