Seems like a strange name for a bar. This particular part of Auckland Central is a vibrant place full of ethnic businesses. Back in the 1980s and 1990s Karangahape (K'Road) Road was known as being very seedy, full of strip bars and prostitutes walking up and down trying to drum up business. These days it's more upmarket and even the nearby suburb of Ponsonby use to be a slum area but now it's posh and houses usually sell for nearly the $1 million NZD mark.

...I like the name, Bamboo Tiger!
Sounds like a Singaporean bar with their local Tiger beer!
An imaginative name! Sounds more like a Chinese takeaway though
I would love to revisit Karangahape Road. I remember it in the 70s
It also accurately reflects the street scene.
That's funny, we have Tiger beer here
since coming home I've noticed how empty and quiet the town spaces seem to be - it looks like even Auckland has empty streets.
It looks interesting. I hope you have a chance to try it out!
'Bamboo Tiger' doesn't look particularly attractive from the outside.
Neighborhoods do change over time, but I like the name.
I like Magic Eye's answer.
Worth a Thousand Words
interesting name choice...
I like that name. It's very visual.
Sounds great how the places have changed - and I like the pub´s name.
I love to see areas revive and climb out of the seediness factor.
A good name.
