Bar pub in Auckland

“A huge selection of beer and spacious areas to catch up with groups of people. In the middle of an industrial area with little else around, it is a good location among the suburbs. Accompanied by a rotating food truck parked just outside that can fuel you. This time there was a Filipino food truck with delicious options @thebeerspot”

“Our first time here and we were very pleased with the ambience, food, staff and prices. The place filled up quickly with customers, but it didn't slow down the dishing out of food. The owner was walking around talking to the patrons and the wait staff were quick in attending to tables and bringing out orders. It was very very windy and cold outside, but with the windows closed and the heat pumps on, it very pleasant inside. Will definitely visit again, but maybe in summer when the weather permits us to sit outside and enjoy the beach!”

“I visited here on my last night in Auckland after seeing a show at Spark Arena. The staff were all really attentive even though it was a pretty busy nice. The place was decorated beautifully and there was plenty of places to sit. I had the Kawasawa cocktail and I really enjoyed it! All of their signature cocktails looked fantastic and it was so difficult to choose.”

“Delicious food, huge portions, really fair prices, super friendly and helpful staff. 10/10 recommend and will be coming back. Waffles are delicious! Thick, fluffy, crisp on the outside, perfect.”

“# Amazing pizza# Must try the special truffle pizza，actually 45 is not cheap，but worth it！ Special menu like a gift， everyone is perfect including the drink. If you are first time to there like me，just talk to the friendly staff，believe their recommends.”

“This is a perfect spot for great wine and gorgeous food. I booked the courtyard for our end of year work celebration, everyone was blown away by the service, food and overall vibe. Shout out to Marlies who was an absolute dream to work with in bringing it all together.”

“Great little place... Great waiting staff.”

“I had the distinct pleasure of eating at Di Vino Bistro for the first time. It was a most wonderful experience, the service was amazing, the food incredible and the price very reasonable.”

“I want to know when the pizza arrives! It's so delicious that I wish I could eat it anytime. The atmosphere is nice, friendly, and especially the outdoor seating is great.”

“Great evening enjoying very delicious food. Friendly helpful host and warm ambience. Will dine there again.”

“Enjoy music, meeting locals And craft beers”

“I hadn't my breakfast and wasn't planning for lunch, so I thought why not to have brunch at Goode Brothers, I ordered mushroom burger, onion rings and pineapple juice for me. The taste were amazing, it satisfied my cravings for carbs and suger. I enjoyed it with lovely sunny and windy weather bcz I was seating outside. If you are vegetarian and don't know what to order, try this mashroom burger at Goode Brothers. It was lovely experience to have brunch there. Highly recommend. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Everything was 10/10.”

“We did the pasta making class tonight and it was incredible!! Eloise, Luke and Jess looked after us so well the whole night, they were super personable and knowledgeable. It was heaps of fun and amazing value for money. We got so much food and two cocktails, plus our homemade pasta to take home all covered in our class cost. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a fun date or girls night!!”

“Loved the ika mata, citrus cured, raw fish. Good range of beers, lively music. Ample outdoor, covered and well ventilated spaces for sunny days.”

“Another iconic place in Auckland for theatre and arts. Wonderful performances and a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If I could, I’d give 20 stars!) We came here for dinner and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The wine was excellent, but what really stood out was the incredible service. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who looked after us: he was outstanding. He explained the menu with such honesty, knowledge, and enthusiasm, and it was clear he had a deep understanding of both the dishes and the restaurant itself. We were unsure what to order because everything looked so good and we couldnt decide as we wanted to try everything. he guided us perfectly, giving thoughtful recommendations and going above and beyond to make sure we chose what suited us best. Even though the restaurant was full, he was attentive, quick, and genuinely warm smiling the whole time and clearly enjoying what he does. It’s rare to find service like that these days. The food was just as impressive. We had a meat dish (piatto con carne) that was one of the best mains I’ve ever had in Auckland, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The linguine pasta was also delicious. But the star for me was the olive ascolane: even better than the ones I’ve had in Italy. For dessert, the cannoli was outstanding, the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Even when it came time to pay, the staff were friendly, accommodating, and made us feel welcome right up until the very end. We truly enjoyed every moment of our experience here and will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended!”

“First German restaurant for me and I have to say: I will come back. Me and my partmer had the plate A and even if it looks big, if you’re hungry don’t worry you’ll eat everything. Loved the sauce and the smashed potatoes, reminds me of my grandma’s one. I like the fact that you have tomatoes, coleslaw and other salads on free service. We also had the tab german beer and nothing to add you know just a tab beer. But the owner is really kind and gave us a good experience. Boyfriend here, I’ve been to Berlin and the taste is familiar. I vouch for this only german restaurant in West Auckland. Traditional I love it”

“We had a great dinner! New menus are absolutely stunning. It's good that the Crispy Pork Belly was back in the menu with a refreshig sauce and I love the braised cabbage. The staff are friendly and accomodating. Thank you!”

“The plant based menu was amazing. Loved the salad we had. Beautiful food Dr Micheal Brown 13elephants.nz”

“Perfect, ordered steak eggs and chips with slaw for 30$ and it was one of the best steaks I have ever tasted really big meal struggled to eat it all. Great service aswell thank you from 2 Wellington lads. We will be back when we are here again.”

“We were in a big group of foreigners, the MC started by asking us all where we're from. Most comedians tailored their set to a global humour. I absolutely loved the small cozy setting and raw humour”

“Our 'local'. Lovely atmosphere, lots of events on offer, the bar menu is simple but yummy (and reasonably priced). The restaurant buffet is AMAZING!”

“We had a staff Christmas Dinner here. We booked a table Riverside with a cool breeze coming in the window. The waitress guided us through the menu and recommended specials. Everything was delicious, favorites being the duck pancakes and bao buns. We had 4 small plates and 3 large plates for four people and there was plenty of food. We were to full for dessert, but they looked really good.”

“Come on Auckland! You guys need to come and support this great business! The beers are off the chart and the food is fantastic! I love a hazy IPA, each one was unique and delicious! There are over 30 different beers to choose from! The food was really good. I highly recommend the crispy butchers bites, the deep fried gherkins, the Korean cauliflower and the ChurBurger! That ChurBurger was……chur!! Bloody delicious!!! Not a big fan of shoestring fries (I like the proper chunky fries) but overall, fantastic beer and food…I highly recommend!”

“Update- this little place no longer operates as a cafe. But instead is a cute venue and pizzeria and bar. Hours can vary so best to check out when they are open for pizza and drinks. The best little cafe in Westmere. We went to a birthday party here and it had an awesome private tiny theatre and private garden. There was also the public cafe with delicious food and coffee.”

“I had a wonderful experience at British Isles Inn. From the moment we arrived, the owner made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm and friendly attitude. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food paired with outstanding hospitality!”
