PYM's of Milford

Bar

👍👍 This is a superb venue. The owners and staff are super friendly and really in touch with their customers. The food is yummy (platters in particular are amazing!). Great range of beverage options. A friend introduced me to Pyms and I in turn have taken other friends who have all loved it! Always...

The Beer Spot

Bar

👍 Chill spot for a pint - chic interior, lovingly curated tap beers and nice vibes. Proper brews served - pricey but proper. Sometimes there are very few people pulling the pints so you can be waiting a long time at the bar for service. Still - worth a stop in.

Pineapple on Parnell

Bar

👍👍 What a fun place! Both bartenders were super nice and friendly, great chat and service. Excellent selection of spirits, its a relatively small space but felt very cozy and comfy. Loved the decor. Was only there for a nightcap (which turned into 3) and will definitely be back.

Churly's Brewpub & Eatery

Pub

👍👍 Come on Auckland! You guys need to come and support this great business! The beers are off the chart and the food is fantastic! I love a hazy IPA, each one was unique and delicious! There are over 30 different beers to choose from! The food was really good. I highly recommend the crispy butchers bit...

The Bridgman

Pub

👍 Great spot on Dominion road, very nice atmosphere and lighting - the ambiance was on point. Great menu with a good drinks selection. I only ordered a tiramisu but it was huge!

The Puhoi Pub Hotel & Stables...Est 1879

Pub

👍👍 Puhoi Pub is a great stop for a bite to eat on the way up to Northland, and it regularly has a band playing in the weekend’s My partner and I had a Cheese Bacon Burger and chips and it was a beautiful homemade patty with a big rasher of bacon and fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes. The chips were cri...

Moretons Bar & Restaurant

Restaurant

😠 The views are nice. Beers are a bit pricey, but it's St heliers. For those googling to see if they do.. There are absolutely zero vegan options on the menu.

Northcote Tavern

Huapai Tavern

Pub

😠 I’d give this place a zero if I could. I walked in today with my sons medical assistance dog, my son and my husband. I entered first and the place smelled like old cigarettes, stale alcohol and desperation. I turned to my husband to signal to him that maybe we should find somewhere less depressing b...

Charlie Baxter's

Pub

👍👍 Super lovely bar! There’s space out back to sit outside during the summer months. The staff are super friendly, I got to taste the cider before I got a pint and they even custom made me a poutine! Would definitely come back.

Bozo - Gin & Rum Bar

Bar

👍👍 We ended up at Lovebucket in K Rd in search of well-endorsed cocktail buckets or so I believed, and I was instantly taken aback by this dark brooding cocktail bar with a lounge DJ and tables full of patrons in this back-of-the-way bar. The vibe was evocative, relaxed, somewhat clandestine and heady...

The Hub Milford

Pub

🫤 All was going well and pleasant until the barman charged me extra for the same beer 20 mins after the first one. Unfortunately left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Also not having Lion Red on tap was a bit of a debacle.

Mission Bay Tap Room - Good George

Pub

👍 Have been here a number of times and it’s always a pleasant experience. The mushroom pizza was delicious, had a good amount of mushrooms on it but not a lot of depth in flavour. The onion rings were very average. The onion was soggy, no crunch and coating was oily with no flavour to it. The service...

The Brit Pub & Eatery

Restaurant

🫤 Good service, but understaffed and so packed it takes a while to get served. The place is like one big cavernous room so it gets extremely loud. It's full of suited and booted city business folk who aren't really my kind of crowd. Premium prices and you don't get a seat. I didn't enjoy it and won't...
