4th Door Lounge Bar

Napier


The 4th Door offers an alternative to Ahuriri's waterfront bars – a classy, moody little place, perfect for a predinner drink or a nightcap. Occasional live jazz and piano tunes enhance the mood. The deliciously unreformed Union Hotel is next door, where anyone who turned 40 before the year 2000 goes for a beer.
