    Beautiful brewers pub with a brilliant fresh menu and inspiring pints on tap. The staff are so chill yet friendly and have great advice about the extensive rotating range of beers. The sours are always my favourite. Fantastic quality. I also really enjoy the fish tacos - full of zing. The freshness of the fish is always on point and the beer batter couldn’t be lighter or crispier. It’s a great spot to stop in for a lunch or a huddle with mates. Love it!

    Came by to check out the beer selection and wasn't let down by the impressive selection they had. They had 20 different beers on tap and changed a few at the end of the night. The hardest thing is choosing from the selection. The beer names are on the tap but there was a "pouring now" wire board with the beer currently on tap. The area isn't too bad, parking available around the Victoria street region. They had a few tables inside as well as outside and it was fairly large. The food was quite nice. Quite a few thing to choose from but I would recommend the fish and chips is it is your first time here since they are a fish and chippery. Selection of fishes with different prices and different styles of cooking. What was interesting is that they serve all their food takeaway style, wrapped in paper. Tasty food and nicely priced.

    Order at the bar, pay first. Food will be brought out to your table. Nice beer selection. The Fish Burger was very good! Fish and chips were ok - fish wasn’t as nicely done as it was in burger, chips were nice and crispy.

    NOTE - food 1 star because I didn't eat there. Nice vibe, decent set up to watch sports on their screens. Bartender great service, different selection on IPAs on offer.

    Fantastic selection of craft beers. The food is very good. The selection of foods could be better but the food I had was bang on. I had the pulled pork tacos. And they were really good. The beef was also fantastic. This place does charge backs to Ramada suites also

    Excellent range of craft beers. These guys are also famous for their fish and chips which I haven't yet tried but I'm keen.

    One of our new favorite places ever. We chanced across it, went in and were blown away by 20 different craft beers taps available. We resolved to try everyone one of them and did so over a 3 day period, including a visit to watch the American Superbowl on a Monday (in Canada, it's Sunday). I loved the ability to try out different varieties of beer from different NZ craft breweries. I also loved the use of ice cream bar sticks to put the name of the taster on. We almost thought to collect them, but decided to recycle and reuse. Also had some phenomenal Korean Spicy Chicken chicken (Several times).

    A nice place to sit outside and watch the world go by. Both of the beers that we tried were great, which was fortunate since the bartender wasn't especially motivated to help us choose among the 20 or so choices. The fish and chips was good but not outstanding.

    Great pub with an amazing choices of beer (this is a beer lovers stop), the fish and chips was alright (bit soggy on the inside). But the beers were nice and crisp. Great pub atmosphere

    The fish and chips were really good! It’s a big portion, we felt pretty bad after that 😵‍💫😂

    Burgers were filling and tasted good but felt like there may have been a little something missing (Chicken one could have had more flavour). Salad bar was disappointing (more something of the side rather than something you could make a meal out of). Great diverse selection of drinks. Service was friendly and reasonably fast given the busy lunch hour. Would come again and try something else :)

    Great selection of beers and the fish and chips were very tasty. I’d say the batter could have been crispier but the taste was good. Nice vibe / decor too.

    Become a regular haunt on my trips to Auckland. Superb beer selection and knowledgeable staff. Defo worth a visit if you like proper good craft beer from all over New Zealand.

    I was here just before Christmas in 2018, and I still think about it. It was dark, I’d just gotten the last ferry off Waiheke, and I was hungry after a full day of mountain biking an island with no food other than a banana. I followed my nose here, and I’m so glad I did. Excellent fish and chips, excellent beer, friendly and helpful staff (I hadn’t been in Auckland since 2012 and things had changed, I was a bit out of sorts). When I return, I will absolutely be eating here again.

    Great selection of beer and food - very friendly staff. We will be back! Suggestion: Try to optimise the Calamari a little bit. There is room for improvement.

    Good selection of beers and the service was ok. Definitely worth a visit for a pint or two, lol.

  • 4/5 Major T. 2 months ago on Google • 169 reviews New
    Sat outside and enjoyed some beers plus fish and chips and Korean chicken. We read other reviews about this pub and decided to give it a try. It was good but not outstanding. Staff were not warm and fuzzy

  • 4/5 Jake 7 months ago on Google • 114 reviews
    Good rotation of craft beer taps and bottles available. Very nice fish and chips

  • 5/5 Carrie G. 7 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    It’s a good vibe! The fish and chips was absolutely delicious (way better than I was expecting for a bar). Seems like a good spot for local regulars after work. They have tons of choices of beers and other drinks and lots of food options on the menu. Definitely a peni$ flytrap if you’re a woman looking for your choice of guys. Skews on the 30+ age bracket. Lively environment without being overwhelming. Staff are quick to slang the drinks so there’s not a long wait even if it’s busy.

    Fully recommend to visit the spot whenever looking for tasty and fresh fish & chips 🐠 🍟 Super soft fish with slightly sweet coating with crispy fries and white sauce was a perfect meal for afternoon hunger. The portion is huge, easily to be split for two people who just want to have a bite, not a full meal. 🤤👌🏻

  • 5/5 Bobby Zak B. 10 months ago on Google
    The Korean spicy chicken was pretty amazing! Highly recommend it. Helpful and Friendly staff as well as a fantastic selection of beer on tap.

  • 1/5 Melisa D. 2 years ago on Google
    I took my grandparents first time they had been to a craft bar we were very disappointed in the service and quality of the meal. I would not recommend this bar to any of my family or friends. The barman was not helpful especially when he knew it was our first time in a craft beer brewery - was not interested in his patrons at all I was so embarrassed for my grandparents, never again

  • 5/5 Kristin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious beers, friendly staff, cool atmosphere and yummy food. Worth a stop.

  • 5/5 Alton S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was close to my hotel and thought it was worth a shot. Fish and chips were fantastic, and the beers I had were really good. The only down side was that the tables had not been wiped down, we had to do it ourselves. The food and the beer overcame that though!

  • 5/5 Zhibek D. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Great selection of tap beer and also service! Larissa is such a nice person to have a chat with, been there twice and every time she’ve been so nice and friendly to everyone and super fast and helpful with selecting drinks and food, highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Chan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this place for casual lunch w beer. They have quite nice local tab lagers and ipas. Good qualities for brewers burger and fish&chips

  • 5/5 Gaël W. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice place to grab a craft beer ! Fish and chips was one of the best I had (do take the bread crumb option) ans you can taste the beers if you're unsure of your choice. Bonus point for the view on the sky tower.

  • 5/5 Lawrence C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic selection of beers and Great Food Super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful bartender helped me find the perfect brew among so many available on tap. I had the Fish and Chips which were excellent. This was the exact beer and food experience I wanted. So happy I read the reviews and found this bar / restaurant. Would happily come back.

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic service, and great food and drinks. Serving sizes are large, and we were able to share a meal between the two of us. Will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Ran W. 1 year ago on Google
    New favourite! Fish tacos, pan seared or battered, Nick Cave on the player, great beer and wine selection.

  • 5/5 Astar A. 1 year ago on Google
    First stop in Auckland, amazing fish and ships and a wide variety of beers available. Nice place and the owner was very kind!

  • 4/5 Brooke B. 1 year ago on Google
    I was after a beer in the CBD... Tho there was a bit of a walk to get here, it was worth it. A great range of delicious craft beer on tap to suit all tastes on. Plenty of big tables for large groups (a little awkward for if you're happy of a couple looking to sit alone)

  • 5/5 Anna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fish and chips, awesome beer selection

  • 5/5 Paul A. 1 year ago on Google
    Fab choice of beer and super friendly staff. I will be going back to check out the rest of the beers. Only had time for one lager :-(

  • 5/5 Jayde S. 1 year ago on Google
    Decided to try this bar for the first time. Sila made us feel so welcome and provided the most excellent service we’ve had in New Zealand. Great drinks, food and service. Thank you Sila

  • 5/5 Gavin G. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome array of beers. Great night had sampling all the beverages available. Good option for a stag party. Good friendly service.

  • 5/5 Stephen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of taps, with a variety for everyone, as well as some absolute bangers. That plus fantastic food, the Jalapeno poppers are made in house and are absolutely fantastic!

  • 5/5 Joseph W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar with a nice interior, the outside might seem busy or too loud so definitely pop in. The beers are ordered one keg at a time so they are fresh and the staff know their stuff. Ask and enjoy.

  • 4/5 Jessie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Feijoa sour and Korean spicy chicken. A bomb. Great selection of beers.

  • 5/5 Janine E. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a good time. Excellent craft beers, good wine selection and the fish & chips is to die for. The quirky art is always fun too

  • 5/5 Jeff K. 2 years ago on Google
    Bar was about to close. I had just gotten off a long shift in work, never visited Auckland before and was looking for a bite to eat and drink or two. The Guy running the place took me in, made me some food and sent me on my way after. Excellent service. Sila was his name. Will be coming back next time.
