Best places: Pubs in Devonport-Takapuna, New Zealand

👍 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.

👍👍 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...

😠 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.

👍 Love that the owners have maintained and retained this wonderful building. Definitely an asset to the area. Try the teramisu and the creme brule as a treat

Unpretentious cafe with exposed-brick walls & a vintage vibe serving breakfast & New Zealand lunch.

👍👍 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.

😠 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...

😐 I want to preface this review with: the pizza is delicious and the place is vibrant and service is good. The pizza base is excellent. We had the Workhorse: delicious, but the pickles are overwhelming. Not sure there’s ever a place for pickles on a pizza, actually. The place has a lot of history but...

Cozy haunt featuring Belgian dishes & beer, plus traditional pub grub, in a heritage building.

👍👍 Excellent atmosphere, yummy food, friendly staff. Went for dinner tonight and another great to due for dinner and followed by extraordinary desert.

👍👍 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...

👍👍 We had Sunday lunch, good old kiwi staple of fish & chips. Food was very well done & yummy. Great outdoor seating, lovely atmosphere. Staff were very friendly & accommodating. Thanks guys.

👍👍 Super fun little bar! They have a really great selection of beer, the atmosphere is nice and staff are really friendly. Also whoever picks the music does a great job. 😋 One of my fave spots in the city.

👍 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...

🫤 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...

👍👍 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.

Restored 19th-century tavern with a garden bar offering beer, wine & updated comfort grub.

👍👍 One of Auckland's hidden gems, with superb great food and service. Would definitely go back! Highly recommended.
