Bar pub in Auckland

“Recently I had the pleasure of organising a staff lunch at The Cav. All staff I dealt with were incredibly helpful and accommodating as we had a few unknowns leading up to the day, and everything went smoothly at their end. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Wonderful way for us to end the year. Definitely recommend if you're looking to have a function.”

“Look at that inviting courtyard. What a great place for a meeting, a break or stop for office time in one of their booths. Plenty of space in the back with outdoors covered seating area too. Great coffee and eggs Benedict. Cafe at front and large bar inside. You need to look in deeper than just from the street entrance.”

“Super friendly and attentive staff, they made us feel very welcome from the second we walked in. Really nice ambience and lots of space to move around and places to sit down. We visited on the steak special night, was great value for $29 including choice of 2 side dishes . Will definitely be back .”

“Accessible to students, has a good atmosphere with a pool table and small karaoke bar!”

“Our go to for a good pub burger, steak & fries and a cold one. Awesome karaoke & music in the background. A proper NZ pub for sure! Would highly recommend if your wanting a good pub feed.”

“We hired out Wynyard Pavilion for a corporate end of year event and everything was amazing. The food, service and atmosphere were all great. A massive thanks to Oceane for her wonderful organisation and communication skills. She made all of the planning easy and painless which caused the event to be a huge success.”

“Absolutely worth the drive from town. Feels like an overseas holiday. Delicious food and drink, helpful service. The kind of place you'd bring a friend from out of town. Will be back!”

“Amazing service and even better food! Got the croissants and the blue smoothies and it was all superb! Maybe the best breakfast in New Zealand! Love all the staff and their infectious positivity! Thank you for the amazing expirience :)”

“Incredible food. Ever since trying their ricotta ravioli I've been thinking about it at least once a week. Their entire menu sounds amazing and their cocktails are super reasonably priced (and taste great). Fantastic service too. Can't fault a thing.”

“Been a fan of this place for years the music on most nights is great hidden gem is upstairs to the right of the toilets along with 3 other cool spaces to share a beer with your mates never once have I seen any drama door staff do a great job. Safe place to get a glow on”

“We held an amazing event here, Nick and his team made it incredibly easy, and took care of us so well. We had a lot of people from outside of Auckland and they were so impressed by the location, such an amazing venue for a gatherung , Big shout out to Andy and Grant who were amazing on the bar , I highly recommend parked up for any event”

“My friend had popped over from Melbourne and was staying at the Park Hyatt so we decided to come here. A very good choice we made. The service was very quick and the drinks and food was top notch. We had The Hail Mary (Philly cheese steak) and The fried chicken burger with a couple of drinks. The fries that came with the food was crispy but soft inside and Steak Sandwich was superb. It was a bit loud but the music was great. All in all we had a good evening out.”

“Amazing food and decor. All very tasty and fulfilling. Service was attentive too. The interior restaurant looked like the inside of a train and would be great to sit in too.”

“Had experience like fine dinning restaurant. Foods look so nice and taste delicious. Good service Highly recommend Will be back for sure”

“Great venue and staff. A trek down some steep stairs but I've attended some great gigs here. Usually good sound. Toilets can be hard to access when packed and it can get very warm but I still find it a great spot.”

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! As a vegetarian, it’s often hard to find good options in Auckland, but this place truly impressed me. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful—they even customized a pizza exactly to my liking, and it turned out absolutely delicious! The food was bursting with flavor, and we also tried a non-alcoholic cocktail that was super tasty and refreshing. Overall, it was a perfect day, and I’m so glad we chose to dine here. Highly recommend to anyone, especially fellow vegetarians!”

“From the moment you walk in Reign and Pour brings a solid upbeat and relaxed vibe. The staff are friendly and incredibly attentive. The food.... Oh my goodness, so good. I had the stuffed chicken which was so well balanced in terms of flavour profile. My partner had the steak and said "this is the best steak I've had in quite some time." To share we also grabbed the cauliflower bites which were perfectly salted and crispy. We'll be back for sure!”

“We came here for the final game of the World Series..great huge screen tv to watch the game.. we had their steak sandwich which was amazing.. the service was great .. the staff was very friendly.. great sports atmosphere .. definitely a great place to come !”

“Walked in to have a drink on a sunny Sunday lunch - but also ended up ordering food from White and Wong’s. boa bun, dumplings, papaya salad and they were all absolutely delicious! Away from the louder restaurants further on the wharf but still with a nice chilled atmosphere. Waiter was friendly and attentive.”

“Beautiful course with a spacious club room. Friendly & helpful staff. Thank you for supporting Orewa Primary Fundraiser. We are lucky to have such a great club in our community.”

“we tried this place first time approx 1 month ago. Ever since the first visit, this place became our weekly routine. It's that good. Both dinner and brunch menu is excellent, super friendly service and very kids friendly (my daughter love their kids combo). I'm sure we will continue visit here more. Perhaps the only complaint is we wish there's more mocktail selection for the non-alcoholic drinkers :)”

“Just a fabulous, clean and tidy environment to relax and enjoy the well maintained garden outside. I love visiting because the staff are consistently friendly, welcoming and the fantastic range of beverages and food keep me and my friends coming back for more. Highly recommended.”

“Heard so much about the Steak & Guinness Pie that we had to try it out. Hubby had the large one, me the small. Both did not disappoint and both were ample servings. Flakey puff pastry sealed over the top of a bowl of steaming hot steak filling, served with crispy beer battered chips and a green salad. Tasty and very well-priced. Great pub, awesome staff.”

“We booked a table via First Table, so was able to get a good deal for a table of 4. We ordered the Pan-Roasted Lamb Rump and Butcher's Cut Steak. The food came out quickly and it was very tasty. Basalt is nicely layed out, with one corner for dining, another area where you can watch live sport and have drinks. As well as an upstairs area with music”

“Went for lunch, menu prices are really good. We ordered fish and chips, really enjoyed was a lovely meal. Staff there are very good & efficient and easy to talk too. Thoroughly recommend this place and will go back again.”

“Great local charm..Friendly staff and ample parking.”
