THE VENUE

Venue: Dropkicks

354 Great Kings Street, Dunedin North

We are here to redefine what it means to be a Dropkick...

DropKicks's was founded in response to the overwhelming need for an affordable bar and accessible live music & entertainment venue in North Dunedin.

DropKick's aims to provide a safe space for all to enjoy great quality entertainment.

The Dunedin city culture is something that has suffered over the past few years and we are here to do our part, to bring our city back to its former glory!
