Bar pub in New Zealand

“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.”

“Always a great experience. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 90’s movie theatre.”

“Come for the Star Wars decor, stay for the drinks and Pomodoro Pizza. The fine folks at Pizza Pomodoro informed me that if I would like to enjoy their pizza in a place with tables and seats (PP has only two very small tables) that Goldings had plenty of those AND sold their pizza there as well. So we went to Goldings and it was exactly as advertised. Best of both worlds and a bigger drink selection. Will be happy to return many many times in the future.”

“The garden featured a stunning display of healthy, blooming roses in a variety of vibrant colours. There was a charming little fountain, some friendly ducks waddling about :) and a lovely greenhouse to explore. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a peaceful moment in nature.”

“Went here for my birthday. Tried a few of the starters, such as garlic bread, bruschetta, 3 cheese arancini, and the Provolone al forno. All were really good, and i could eat an endless amount of the Provolone al forno. I got the carbonara, and was nice and creamy. Tiramisu for dessert was good too.”

“Dishes are generally over sweet… sauce is also over. otherwise dishes are all good. not my taste of sweet foods.”

“Went to enjoy the pre-show dinner menu and was absolutely blown away. Fantastic price point $69. A chance to enjoy exceptional food in gorgeous surroundings with excellent staff. Will definitely make a point of going again next visit to Wellington.”

“One of the best (if not THE best) burger I've had in Wellington! And I've tried many. Also, ordering a fully plant-based option is super easy. They even have vegan milkshakes! Fully recommend it. I will keep coming back.”

“One of our favourite finds on our NZ holiday - great atmosphere and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had”

“Great place for a drink on a sunny afternoon in Wellington. Friendly staff, good ambiance, good music. Choose up or downstairs they even have a balcony. Makes you feel a bit like being in London with a touch of sunshine and clean air.”

“Hidden gem. This place's esthetic is true Japanese and yet, it's blended so well with good world beer and the art of conversation. Dominic, the bar owner made me feel welcomed and we chatted about the world and beer for ages. They made me great beer recommendations and made me a stonkin' vegan sandwich (pulled jackfruit). Low-key. Friendly. Tasty beer and snacks. Top marks!”

“Fantastic food and coffee. Traditional brunch good as well as gourmet burgers and beautifully presented tacos and quesadillas. Pleasant outdoor seating area for lunch in the sun or shade.”

“Great little pit stop about a half hour north of Christchurch. Home style food, lovely staff, great BLT, good coffee.”

“If in Christchurch, you can’t miss out on this place. Not only it is located in one of the most picturesque places in town, but it is actually really good. Plenty of wines to choose from, and delicious food to pair it with. Music was great and service as well.”

“Very clean and tidy Plenty of great food and beverage options Staff were helpful friendly and accommodating”

“The place has 3 floors with plenty of seating. The rooftop is perfect for some water views and sunshine. The staff are so friendly and they even have some card games to play. The beer is all locally brewed and great! We loved the IPA. The edamame was so unique with miso sauce!!”

“The kitchen staff are so lovely and kind. I was sitting upstairs and they were all just so lovely to me. Jared is the best ☺️”

“Georgia is an amazing Bar Manager. She provides amazing service and is a knowledgeable and experienced craft beer connoisseur. I recommend Volstead to anyone in Canterbury interested in tasting the best beer in town!”
