“Had an awesome evening at Craft Bar & Kitchen! Enjoyed some great beers and a delicious dinner — the food was absolutely amazing. Special shout-out to Libby for her friendly service and making the experience even better. Highly recommend!”

“Great gig, good venue, felt real old school going upstairs at the Cook :)”

“I had a great dine-in experience here. The atmosphere was very good and the servers were very polite and helpful. Unfortunately I ordered a main gnocchi dish and got a spaghetti starter instead but i was hungry enough to not care or say anything. Regardless the pasta was delicious and the restaurant was also able to provide complimentary parmesan to accompany my meal. The portion size of the hot chips for a starter was big and great value. Thanks for the great hospitality!”

“My five stars that I've given are all for our server who was Harshit. Harshit was very helpful, friendly, prompt and made the dining experience very positive. I have to add how good the ambience was beautiful surroundings. My husband and I appreciated watching the birds as we looked out the window while dining. (Not all seagulls)”

“Great place to be back and reminisce.. Still great atmosphere to celebrate after watching the Rugby game Highlanders v Hurricanes at the Forsyth Barr stadium. Recommend to all...”

“Excellent staff great atmosphere, nice place to have an ale”

“Great boozer, good service. Pokies don’t pay though”

“We had amazing cocktails and Alan was the absolute best! The space, yes it is small but its a cool hidden bar with great cocktail makers and a little outdoor area which is well done. Come before 10pm as the young crowd will almost seat on your lap ... but that has nothing to do with the service nor the delivery of the cocktails. Awesome! Cheers”

Close to the quaint Portobello Village with pub, cafes and restaurants as well as easy drive to Penguin Place, Monarch Cruise and Albatross Centre.

“The Law Courts Hotel is a lucky find for us and anyone else who wants to camp in the middle of Dunedin. Perfectly located a couple of hundred metres from the Octagonal. Surrounded by any number of great cafes, restaurants, shopping, museums and event centres. An added bonus is the pub style restaurant which is part of the bar downstairs. Well priced (we were initially attracted by a special deal) the lower levels have just undergone a major renovation with updates planned for rooms ahead. Due this, I rate the room as a 4 star with a dated shower but superking bed was comfortable and new. Establishment well managed and maintained. Highly recommended. This is our new favourite downtown overnight stop. P”
