Bar pub in New Zealand

“Bar Celeste has become a bit of a K Rd institution. Food excellent - contemporary European, fabulous wine and attentive service.”

“Wandered past here today and noticed the decor was really funky so popped our head in for a look. The lady was so friendly that we decided to stay for a cheeky early drink. Then had a second as was such a cool spot. Will be great when the CRL work is finished and everyone can spot this place behind the construction fences. We will definitely come back when we’re next in town.”

“Nice breakfast/lunch choices, the baked egg with chorizo was awesome, same for the grilled halloumi. Go sit in the back near the stage/window, such a lovely warm vibe created by the wallpaper, admire the bar wall. Big choice of Whiskey and Bourbons, I counted 97 different ones including some nice Japanese whiskeys. If you like Gin try the Monkey47. Also interesting original cocktails”

“What a fun classic bar, lots of live music at night and smashing bar tenders”

“First time in a pub in New Zealand and the experience was top notch owner was great and super accommodating, the food was absolutely top notch I can’t remember the last time I had a steak that good.”

“Friendly and attentive staff, yummy food at a decent price, nice view over the estuary. Veggie Grill was an unexpected delight not normally afforded to vegetarians visiting a steakhouse!”

“This is a great spot to stop in for wine, food and good vibes! Right across from the Museum Theatre Gallery and very central, we stopped after doing the self guided Art Decco walking tour. Great wine and great service!”

At Bowey's Pool Lounge & Bar, the menu stays simple, bistro-style, served with an easygoing pace. Portions are generous yet well judged. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Service stays present without fuss.

“We've been here twice in the last month, and had a great meal each time. The new owners are really friendly and nice, and the bar has a nice coast atmoshere. On the Halloween night they had a dress up session with prizes, and Nelly was perfect as an Angel. The food is all great. I highly recommend the pizzas and the steak. Both are excellent. If I had to make one improvement suggestion, it would be to perhaps get a a wider range of craft beers. But generally this is a great place that I highly recommend.”

“Havana Bar was recommended to us on a Wellington review page. Everything was really excellent. The atmosphere was cozy. The music and the lights were appropriate for our conversation. The food and drinks were delicious and at a fair price. We highlight the ceviche, you must try it! We will definitely come back to enjoy the night of live music.”

“We got dinner and a couple of drinks each and WOW, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. We were served by a super friendly lady, who seems to really care about this place and giving people a great experience. The food was outstanding. Huge portions! Steak cooked to perfection and the garlic bread was banging. We are very very happy we chose this place for our staycation and we will be back, thank you guys :)”

“Love this bar . I had several games of pool with random people in there . Food was good atmosphere was good bar staff very good at there job love it”

“Fed up with the loud noise on K-road bars. Google classy bar near K-road, and this came up on top. What a nice little bar, the DJ’s music was trippy yet chilled, fits with my groovy mood. The barman knows his stuff and has made us 3 fantastic cocktails from my very limited brief description of what I'm feeling for. I had such an amazing night there.”

“Jervois Rd Wine Bar + Kitchen delivered an exceptional dining experience that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was flawless. We started with the lemon pepper calamari, which was perfectly tender and seasoned to perfection. The truffle fries were indulgent and had just the right amount of truffle aroma, making them impossible to resist. The wagyu beef sliders were a highlight – juicy, flavorful, and served with a delightful balance of textures. The mains were equally impressive. The wagyu brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender and packed with bold, rich flavors. The lamb cutlets were cooked to perfection, beautifully tender with a touch of smokiness. The goat cheese croquettes were a creamy, crispy delight that added a perfect complement to the meal. To top it all off, the pomegranate sour was a fantastic choice – expertly mixed, refreshing, and a great pairing for the food. Every dish was presented beautifully, and the flavors were nothing short of incredible. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere of the bar was cozy and inviting. Jervois Rd Wine Bar + Kitchen is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return for another memorable dining experience! 5/5 stars. Highly recommend!”

“Visited The Roll yesterday and tried Bun Cha, Stir fried Beef PHO, Broken Rice with Pork Ribs and Vietnamese Pancake. The food was fresh and full of flavour. I was especially impressed with Bun Cha, the meatballs was so tender and smoky, perfectly with the dipping sauce. The Broken Rice was fantastic too. We were all really happy with the meal. The staff and service were wonderful. Definitely recommend checking it out!”

“What a delight it was to eat at Morrell! The food was some of the best I’ve had in Auckland since moving here 3 years ago. Service was great and of course booking through First Table was seemless. Only thing I’d say that could’ve been better was the option to split the bill as there were 4 of us. But aside, top class experience! Thank you Morell team.”

“My husband and I have been visiting this restaurant for years now, highly recommended. The owner is very friendly, food is delicious and restaurant is always nice and cosy. I have even taken other family members for dinner which they loved.”

“Had my daughter’s first birthday party here. John the manager is so easy to communicate with and always replied to my emails within a timely manner. I love that they allow you to cater for your own food. The staff were just lovely on the day! Highly recommend this venue”

“We loved it here; the atmosphere, the wonderful service and, of course, the food.”

“So sad to see this local pub close but looking forward to what it's replaced with”

“My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch, little miss 5.5 was not only all smiles but very well looked after including sneaky chocolate delivery from the lovely Emilie who expertly serviced our needs. Attentive, friendly and anticipating our every need, this girl needs a bar tab from the owners or at the very least a juicy slab of meat loaded with truffle butter!! A true pleasure of an experience with delightful food, service and even better views!”

“Lovely service! The barman was so attentive and fun. We’ll definitely come back as soon as we can.”

“If you have plenty of time, this place has a great intimate vibe. However, if you want food, there is a decent wait but the pizzas are worth the wait as they are really well made.”

“Great taste of Peru 40 minutes South of Auckland! If you want to try authentic Peruvian food stop at The Bull Rider Bar Bistro Grill, you will not be disappointed!”

“I went to the Bottomless Brunch event on Saturday and it was awesome! The service was great, the food was delicious and it was an all around great experience”

“Great food and great people. The staff is always friendly and attentive and the multiple times I have been here the food was never meh. Always a great quality and taste and I like that they regularly vary the menu slightly. Our go to place in Rolly! The atmosphere is elevated pub-restaurant. A few interior design changes and lighting changes to break up the wide open room a bit, could make it feel a bit more cozy. It is still a great atmosphere and feel good restaurant.”
