“A lovely local pub meal. The pan fried blue cod was outstanding and hubby's snitzel definitely hit the spot. A calm atmosphere. Would highly recommend.”

“Not sure if they have food. I just got some Japanese from across the road and ate it in the garden bar. This pub has been in the news a bit. It is what it is man. Good pokies. Tradies in bare feet drinking Steiny big bots from the bottle. Old drunks, the whole nine yards. Think Once Were Warriors, but whiter.”

“Had a nice afternoon here with a couple of beers - did not eat, but would go back.”

“I definitely loved this place, the food is amazing, the staffs are nice and they have live music.”

“Nice underground bar, big place. The food there is average but the atmosphere is good and the price is relatively attractive”

“Down for graduation, so busy time of year for Dunedin. Food was delishous, pork belly cooked to perfection. Wait staff quietly/politely checked in throughout dinning which was nice. Good evening meal.”

“We had my son Lincoln’s birthday party there this afternoon, and the customer service was amazing! Nothing was a problem, I was anxious as it was my first time having a party there and they were so amazing and sorted everything I asked for with a smile on their face! Will forever recommend them as a party place from now on. Thanks team ☺️”

“It's got a nice garage theme, but not uncomfortably. Tyre tread on walls, giant screw driver, nice mechanic theme. It's quite unique.”

“Heard so much about the place and finally booked a table for a 40th Bday dinner. The night manager Holly was on the ball, friendly,attentive and knew her stuff. The food was brilliant! Had the dry age steak and worth every cent. Had the fries and beetroot salad to share and easily could've added a 3rd person to devour it. Overall it was a great night-walked out very pleased and super full! Will be back!”

“Went without a reservation as it is our first time in a while, Waris helped us secure the closest reservation. Jess was helpful with the orders, we ordered a “spider” which is no longer in the menu and it arrived! Waris accommodated to our dietary guidelines (halal) and helped taking our photos at the restaurant. Overall, we had a great time!”

“Our meals were generously portioned and cooked to absolute perfection! The chef could teach a masterclass in cooking breadcrumbs! Our table were elated to receive such great, fast service and meals that were far beyond their price point in quality, flavour and portion! We will be back as often as possible!”

“Classic NZ bar, relaxed atmosphere. Big smokers area with outdoor heating. TAB betting and big pokies room. Ladies behind the bar were lovely. $9 a pint of Speights is good enough. beats paying $15 for a small pint in town!”

“This was a pleasant surprise. We were expecting a simple and standard pub fare, but what we got was much more than that. The pricing and portion sizes alone was great, but the taste was exceptional. The best meal we had in Dunedin. Four of us had four different items on the menu and none of the choices disappointed. The Lomo Saltado I ate, it looked relatively simple but flavour wise, it was amazing.”

“We're spending a few days bouncing around south South Island, New Zealand, and as a North American who now lives in this wonderful, I am VERY AWARE of how kiwis love to slip beets into everything. So I am wary. Watchful. Borderline suspicious. However, we had a fantastic dinner at Vault 21 and very little of that was due to the delightful lack of beets. Allyson was our server and a total joy. She helped us navigate some shared dishes while also ensuring my dinner partner and I got a bit of the stuff we liked (but the other might not). Pierogies were great, fried not boiled, and just melted across your tongue. Lamb was very tender. The sliders awesome and thankfully not those messy types that turn you into a BBQ-slathered freak where you end up with bits of napkin confetti all over your face, waving brown-papered hands as you beg your server for wet wipes or damp bath towels. And a huge order of fries! Very tasty and the bowl was as big as your head. Awesome. Had all sorts of dinners and lunches this past week, but so far, Vault 21 tops them all. Highly recommended.”

“I've tried a lot of roasts in Dunedin and hands down this is the best. The lunch special with desert is really good value and the staff are really lovely. This is a gem, would highly recommend the meals and atmosphere. They have a chef who knows what they are doing.”

“Totally awesome place to enjoy. The food was so delicious, good portion size and worth every penny. The service was good. Overall it was one of the best experience.”

“Fantabulously delicious cocktails. More people need to know about this hidden gem”
