Bar pub in New Zealand

“3rd visit 21.6.25. Food still excellent. Service great, food arrived quickly and beautiful presentation. Went for sons birthday. Food was great. Son loved curry special. Loved the steaks. Great portions. Bit of a drive from Auckland central but atmosphere made up for long drive.”

“Amazing food and service. Every dish we ordered was delicious and the service was impeccable. Thanks for an incredible evening and memorable food. Look forward to coming again ☺️”

“Second time visiting this place. Excellent food, and always attentive service. Had chicken and chorizo epanadas, bread with crushed tomatoes and basil, slow cooked lamb, salmon, paella croquettes and crema catalana”

“Absolutely flawless, perfect 5 stars! Despite arriving quite late, around 8 pm, I was greeted warmly by the staff, all with genuine smiles. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy and spotlessly clean, with plenty of seating available. The menu was impressively extensive, and the staff graciously guided me through the options with clear explanations. Opting for (Hainanese) chicken rice, I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived promptly in just 5 minutes. The presentation was stunning, and the taste surpassed all expectations. The chicken was juicy and bursting with flavour, complemented perfectly by the fresh and crispy fried onions, freshest sliced cucumber and the subtly tangy soy-based sauce. The homemade chili sauce was also very authentic and a delightful touch. The accompanying chicken soup was also delicious and showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. At $22, the meal was not only delicious but also amazingly good value. Both the attentive waitstaff and the friendly chef made me feel incredibly welcome, leaving me eager to return. With so many enticing dishes left to try, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Awesome spot!! Cheap drinks, 5 dollars for a variety of drinks, shots, wine, bourbon, etc and dancing! The food is really good too. I ate the prawn pasta and they were not stingy with those prawns, so I was super excited to experience that deliciousness as I am a seafood lover!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful time dining here. From the moment I walked in, everything was just perfect. The ambience was warm and inviting, the cleanliness of the space was impressive, and the attention to detail in both service and presentation truly stood out. The food was top-notch – full of flavour, fresh, and beautifully prepared. I genuinely enjoyed every dish I tried. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable and cared for throughout the meal. It’s clear the team takes great pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. I will definitely be coming back and will happily recommend this place to friends and family. A big thank you to the team for the extra care – it made all the difference!”

“Family dinner for our babies’ Papa’s 72nd birthday ❤️ Live one man band was awesome tonight.”

“Great spot, hidden in plain sight. Seated and served promptly and meals very delicious. Have a great little gourmet burger selection too.”

“Eating on my own as travelling for work, so looking for tasty food and reasonable pricing, and an atmosphere where it doesn’t feel awkward being a sole diner. I had been here some time ago, enjoyed it very much and this time was certainly well satisfied on all counts. Only had a main, pork belly, plus side of veges. Serving size was really generous - I liked the sound of the mussels entree but would never have fitted that in as well! Very tasty - I enjoy sampling pork belly on my travels and this was excellent.”

“Cavern Club Bar is a must-visit! Perfect place to enjoy live music, meet friendly people, and have a great night out in the city”

“I had a great evening at Vinyl! Especially because of the service we experienced from Flo. They were friendly, had great energy and helped up find the perfect drinks for our party off the menu! Will definitely be coming back again”

“Every two weeks I'm at The Arborist for my BX Networking meeting and am about to have my son's 21st birthday celebration there. Everyone is lovely to deal with and the atmosphere is wonderful! The food and drinks are yummy. You can't go wrong at The Arborist!”

“What a Gem! Seen reviews so had to try it. I had Beef Short Ribs & our friend had Pork Belly the wife had Calamari Salad. I look for quality produce - value for money - cleanliness and great service. The food came very quickly and we were not disapointed it was really nice. My beef fell off the bone and the flavours were so good. The pork belly looked great and got thumbs up from our friend. I will be back to give the pork belly a try. This place is worth the drive from Wellington. Give it a go. They cater for large groups and have a great outdoor area. 5 stars guys. Well done”

“Amazing service, the food was incredible and $2 coffee whaaaat 2 means and 2 coffees $50 we'll definitely be back.”

“I really like burger and salad here. excellent service!”

“Hardware bar is the jewel in the crown for Stokes Valley dining. Its very warm, inviting, with staff that go above and beyond on service. Plus you can bring your fur baby here too!. The food is delicious with generous portion size. The Ribs are the best in Wellington. Will return again, and bring many more vistors”

“Great atmosphere and vibes. Lovely, genuine staff. Excellent wines on offer. Can't wait to go back in summer and sit outside overlooking the park.”

“Great place for food and drinks!! Misceos has an awesome atmosphere and styling. The food is served fast and is always delivered to a high standard. It is best to make a booking for lunch and for larger groups as this is a popular place. There is also a takeaway pizza service. However it can get a little noisy when full”

“They have specials every day of the week. Love that it is supported by mature customers. The food is tasty, have had pizza on 2 occasions and a liver and bacon dish on one. The gravy is devine for meat lovers. Worth returning. The staff are very friendly and wrlcoming.”

“Hands down the best pub feed I’ve ever had, got the beef cheeks, massive serving and can’t fault a single part of the food, beer or experience. Cheers team will be back”
