My first thought was why would you name a bar Snatch? Although to be fair, there was ‘that’ movie and they may be thinking ‘to seize hastily’. We wandered in late and settled in to enjoy the cocktails and music. It was midweek so just a few of us in the bar, a bit of lively entertainment from the girls at the next table and then all of a sudden a hen’s party filed in complete with people they’d picked up on the way. The lonely barman was now in top gear delivering drinks at lightning speed and making sure everyone stayed inside and didn’t spill out onto the footpath and keep the Ponsonby residents awake. Fun place, a quick read of their website says open mic nights on Wednesdays, that’ll explain the small stage area.

One of my best friends had her 21st here. It is a small little bar and was a perfect size for her 21st. They let her bring in a ham and rolls with salad, etc and I don’t think the place was too expensive to hire out — they just had to put a bar tab on. At the moment this is just a drinks bar but according to the website they are going to add some bar snacks to the menu pretty soon. Snatch bar has a very relaxed atmosphere and a very eclectic taste in music — it usually has old funky music playing but on this occasion they let my friend hook her own music up. I especially liked the leather seats outside, except don’t get too comfortable or you won’t want to ever get up. It’s really nothing great but nothing at all wrong with it either!
