    Whiskey- Whiskey- Whiskey…… Oh gosh what a delightful little place this is can’t wait to bring hubby here. although it was quiet on a Wednesday night the service was amazing, welcoming just made me happy and the range of whiskeys is beyond comprehension something like 1200 different bottles different prices just incredible and they sell some really nice bottles for off license I believe, also there is a Spirit menu so you can actually find what you are looking for ( example of one of the pages in photos!) thanks team for your hospitality. It was lovely being a woman on my own and having my nightcap with such great company.

    Our friends specially recommended visiting this restaurant when in Napier and so we did. They had an awesome beverage menu, which was very impressive. Even booking a table through their website was very convenient. Staff was friendly and the ambience was good too but the food was disappointing and below average. Too salty and in the curries all we could taste was tomato. Of all the 6-7 items we ordered only Samosa chaat was nice. Going by the other reviews I hope this was just one of the odd days but overall the experience was pleasant.

    I would have loved to give this place a 4.5 stars as the food was absolutely delicious and the servings, especially for entree tandoori, were generous, and prices reasonable. However, on the night we went the service was shocking. In fairness to the one waitress who basically had to do everything, the restaurant manager really should have more wait staff. The poor lady was trying to seat people, take orders, make drinks, pick up food and deliver to the tables, get food for Uber and pick ups, and take payment. In addition to this, the place is advertised as a bar and restaurant, and has an extremely well stocked bar. But- we couldn’t get a drinks menu until the other table had finished with it and none of the spirits or the whiskeys etc were listed. She did say it was being updated but then again it was not a new bar set up according to her, so not sure why it hadn’t been done a while ago. The place is really conducive to being a place to hang out with a drink but we saw some people get up and leave after sitting in the bar area with no one seeing to them for about half an hour. If you have no staff then forget take sways and Uber and concentrate on the people already seated in the restaurant. Despite this I’d give it another try just for the food. And kudos to the waitress who didn’t stop all night but still managed to smile and be friendly.

    We visited Mission and were lucky enough to catch Hugh on his last day, he was fun and informative with an expansive dialogue, we wish you the best in Sweden! The tasting was awesome value with the free glass and the cab franc was superb!

    Lied to us that the tables are booked and refused service even thoughthere were empty seats. We also asked if we can seat outside, but they said it'sbookedas well. We returned there in 30 minutes to pick the car up and there was no one eating there. I suppose they should not lie and refuse service to someone. There is no chance that 50 people would have came, had dinner and gone in less than 30 minutes.

    Popped in around 1:30pm, not many guests around. Service was a little slow, but we got their attention eventually. Ordered the Fried Chicken Burger as I was craving something spicy. It was... everything I wanted and then some. The fried chicken patty was both tasty and juicy, and the sriracha & peri peri dressing had a nice flavourful punch which really elevated the burger. There is a wide selection of beers here, but I only had a chance to try the sugarloaf, which was great. I would visit again just for the Fried Chicken Burger and a glass of Sugarloaf beer.

    Massive menu and largest whiskey selection around.

  • 5/5 J.G. B. 4 years ago on Google
    Not only their own beers but another 25 odd on tap!

  • 5/5 Jonathan H. 5 years ago on Google
    Awesome little brewery, they have two bars one for family. The food is excellent, definitely try the home made BBQ sauce. A massive selection of craft bears, some are local some are from far abroad. You'll defiantly find something to your taste here. They also do a brew tour own beer service, you pay to use the equipment and can craft your own special brew. Kids are more than welcome here with places to pkay and a decent selection of toys and games. Great place to go for after work drinks or a quick Sunday lunch. Or if sport is more your thing the sports bar shows all the important stuff on the big screens.

    Stopped in for a quick drink and was pleasantly surprised with the interior. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. Plenty of parking available across the road during peak periods.

  • 5/5 John H. 6 years ago on Google
    Lovely retro hotel where the ferry used to be pre-1920s. Fantastic brewpub with quality guest beers, knowledgeable but friendly staff and great food. say no more

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 4 years ago on Google
    This was great. Bit confusing on the way in as the place looks like a cross between a Thai restaurant and a betting shop, but once you're inside the beer is top notch, the food good and the service good. And there's a beer garden so great for the kids.

    Rude no service no trying to promote there product

  • 1/5 Olli 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered delivery. Paid for a drink that was not sent; emailed and sent them a message through their website with no response to either. I get it's not much, but it's still our money mate. Also paid $5 for a bizarrre 'kechumber' that was an unseasoned pile of iceburg lettuce with the end of a tomato and cucumber and a great honking chunk of raw brown onion. Might be alright in person where they actually have to give you what you paid for, but I wouldn't risk delivery with this store.

  • 5/5 Brent H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sean P. 5 months ago on Google
    Just got back from Indigo with friends, food was delicious, service was great. Amazingly, we were the only people in there so atmosphere wasn't buzzing but we had a great time. Even the kids enjoyed it and they can be very fussy eaters. I highly recommend giving them a try.

  • 5/5 Kelly B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fabulous food, definitely a 10/10. The service was superb, and the setting was cosy. My husband and I had five of the share plates, and my goodness AMAZING! The wasabi fish and sashimi platter was perfect in every way. We have been fortunate enough to eat at some lovely establishments in Nz, and this is right up there! Thank you to the team at Indigo.

    Very nice atmosphere. Authentic North indian cuisine

  • 4/5 Karen P. 5 years ago on Google
    Was a lovely meal and service was good. Tables nicely presented but very large. Can be hard to hear the person across the table if it is busy as it was when we went. Huge selection of whiskeys that line a good part of one wall. Big selection of food on the menu also. There are high chairs for those that need. I was very touched that there is an aed defibrillator just outside too.

  • 5/5 Jamie M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Matt 3 years ago on Google
    Big let down. Flavourless frozen vegetables in spicy ketchup. Coconut rice was 10 dollars. Over-priced and disappointing. Staff didn't want to know why we didn't enjoy our meal at all, they just wanted us gone. We were polite but made no difference. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 George C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Christoffer B. 5 years ago on Google
    Tourist beware: Make sure you ask about the prices before you buy, or you might end up unpleasantly surprised. The bar has little to no price notices for its bottled beer.

  • 3/5 Freddie S. 5 years ago on Google
    Too loud to have a conversation inside. Outside is crowded with smokers.

    Expensive

  • 2/5 preet s. 3 years ago on Google
    I visited 3 years ago and the meals were superb, back in Napier today so thought I will try it again. I was very much disappointed with the food, looks to me they have a new Chef. One basic advice I can offer is to try not to smoke your Chicken pieces for mains I mean who does that!!

    Terrible bar. Patrons with no self control, or self respect. Loud, rude drunks. Napier should just ditch this bar. Much better options available. It get's one star, otherwise I can't post. Rate is really 0 stars.

  • 1/5 Prashant T. 3 years ago on Google
    I dont know her name but you are one very rude one I've ever come accross. When i simply asked you to clear one table for us 4, you rudely tell us to wait for 25 minutes and simply walk away oh what a face you made then. Thank you so much. Hope everyone reads this. ✌ Walk away just walk away.

  • 1/5 Tracey K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very salty mains. Platter for 2 - chicken had odd smell and off taste which both myself and husband noticed straight away. Only one bite, but enough for upset tummies next day. Told waitress who said would pass onto kitchen. Service was fairly impersonal.

  • 1/5 Julia S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very disappointing. It was more like vegetables in hot tomato sauce, but certainly no curry. Over-prized.

  • 4/5 yuju prebble h. 5 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the dinner, the chicken is juicy and beer very fresh ~
