Gluepot Tavern, Heritage building in Ponsonby, New Zealand

The brick building at Three Lamps Corner features traditional pub architecture with high ceilings, large windows, and indoor gathering spaces across multiple levels.

Architect Frederick Browne designed this structure in 1937 to replace an earlier hotel from the 1870s that stood at the same location.

From 1960 to 1994, the establishment functioned as a music venue, hosting numerous New Zealand bands and international performers for audiences up to 1200 people.

The building stands at 340 Ponsonby Road, at the intersection known as Three Lamps Corner, maintaining its status as a Category 2 historic place.

The nickname 'Gluepot' originated from customers who intended quick visits but remained stuck to their seats for extended periods.
