About Perky's Floating Bar Queenstown, in the operator's words
Perky’s Floating Bar is New Zealand’s only floating bar, right in the heart of Queenstown Bay. Settle in and soak up unbeatable views of Lake Whakatipu and the surrounding mountains from this one‑of‑a‑kind spot.
Relax on the heated rooftop deck with a locally crafted beer, a glass of Central Otago wine, or one of Perky’s classic cocktails. Prefer to stay cosy? Snuggle into the booths inside the boat and enjoy your drink with a view.
Permanently moored at the Million Dollar Cruise jetty, directly opposite Patagonia Chocolates, Perky’s is perfectly placed for a casual stop‑in. Feeling peckish? You’re welcome to bring your favourite takeaway onboard and enjoy it alongside your drink.
