Best places: Bar and grills in Franklin, New Zealand

👍👍 Been here many times! For a bar nestled in the suburbs of Birkenhead you couldn’t ask for much more. Great selection of beer, the servers are always really friendly and all up a good atmosphere! I think the chef has changed over time, but the core menu has stayed the same with typical pub grub with...

👍👍 Had a nice meal with some friends. Great hosts, dog friendly and good food.

👍👍 Today I had the eggs Benny but sadly I couldn’t eat it the bread was soggy from the water and the whole meal tasted like white vinegar. Also got hot chips luckily they were good and a long black. Staff are very friendly

👍👍 This iconic pub has evolved to be a regular gathering hole for many. We watched the AFL final here cos it had the smarts to provide its venue as one of only a couple in the city. Well done and thank you!

👍👍 Good food and service. Honest prices and dishes well served.

👍 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! Enough for 5 people to enjoy, I did not get a chance to try the rest of the menu but I will be back! The staff were all supe...

Storied bar in a 19th-century building featuring pub grub & cocktails, plus music & quiz nights.

👍👍 Boss made and served our drinks! Super nice guy. Lots of heart in his presence. Recommend if you're in the neighborhood.

😠 Ordered delivery, pasta Carbonara, and fish of the day for a birthday treat. Pasta serving was so small, it wasn't even a full meal.. The fish on risotto was overcooked, the risotto was gluggy, it said it had prawns in the risotto, there were 2 small prawns, the fish flavour wasn't good. Disappo...

Cosmopolitan gastropub with a chill vibe & courtyard seating crafting artisanal bar bites & mains.

👍👍 The only truly independent pub I know. Great selection of tap and bottle beer and not tied to any single brewery. Food is great value - get the curry of the day with half chips and half rice!

🫤 Bit disappointed and not for the first time here, probably won't bother again. It almost like they don't your business. Not to worry we went to Chinwags and had a great meal.

👍👍 Great spot overlooking the viaduct. Fantastic food that was enjoyed by all. Well catered for our kids too. Our staff member who looked after us on Saturday was just amazing. What a lovely young lady, I had to leave a tip to stay thanks. 5 stars!

👍👍 Great food! Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu. Lovely staff too.

👍 Home away from home in the heart of the city - the staff are SO lovely, the NZ cider is dry and tasty, the Guinness is good, and they have a pool table! The music is perfect. Sure it's a bit pokey but the people make up for it. I'm a big fan of the outdoor bench. Long live Father Ted's and don't for...

Underground style live music venue & bar showcasing eclectic independent acts.

👍👍 The Haven was a great place to have breakfast. My parents and I were warmly welcomed and the food was delicious and were great serving sizes!! My parents really enjoyed their meals and coffee. I had the egg bene and it was delicious. The cup of tea was brewed just right and as a bonus it was leaf te...

Urbane locale offering sophisticated seafood dishes, cocktails & an all-season, panoramic deck.

👍👍 Absolutely love this place. Great range of craft beers to choose. :)

😠 10 June 2022. If I could give this place no stars I would. For the amount of money we spent here I hope to warn other group bookings that if your wanting to enjoy an evening of leisure and a catch up with your family even on special occasions. The flying Moa should be avoided at all costs. We booke...
