Cafe 39

Supporting the local community since 1996, Cafe 39 Ponsonby is built by hospitality, for hospitality and the wider creative scene. Transforming from a 90s cafe to a New Orleans-inspired speakeasy, along with an outdoor beer garden, this is one of Ponsonby’s hidden gems. With the variety of spaces that make up Cafe 39, this is the go-to venue for live poetry, music gigs, comedy shows, creative workshops, social events and pop-up restaurants.
