Union Post

Union Post occupies the former village post office at 124 Main Highway in the centre of Ellerslie Village, Auckland. It operates as a relaxed dining and drinking venue and is part of the Good Spirits Hospitality group. It holds a Google rating of 4.3.

The offer

The venue works across the day — upmarket but relaxed lunch and dinner service, and a local bar for beer and wine. On Friday and Saturday evenings it shifts into a livelier venue with live music. There is a garden bar.

Functions and private dining

• The Aubrey Room — a semi-private space with its own courtyard, TV and fireplace. It seats 40 for dining and holds 60 for cocktails.
• Main bar area — seats 50 for dining and holds 100 for cocktails.

Amenities for events include air conditioning, wi-fi, catering and bar service, a TV, tableware, a sound system and bathrooms.

Suitability

For meetings and events organisers, Union Post is a well-suited option for team dinners, client hospitality, end-of-year functions, birthdays and informal networking in Auckland's central-southern suburbs. The Aubrey Room's separate courtyard and fireplace give a genuinely defined private-feeling space at a scale (40 to 60 people) that covers most corporate social bookings, while the main bar can be taken for larger cocktail-style events.

Heritage buildings tend to give an event a sense of place that a function room cannot, and the old post office does that here without being precious about it. Packages and exclusive-use terms are arranged directly with the venue.
