The Patriot-Your Devonport Pub

"The Patriot is an awesome pub that provides more than just good drinks and food. The experience is genuinely personalized, making it feel like more of a community gathering place. Fantastic customer service is something worth mentioning, as the staff at The Patriot is among the best in Devonport. Their commitment to excellent service is evident from the moment a customer walks through the door. Very polite, constantly clearing glassware. Went here for a drink after work last Friday. The owner's involvement and interest in the customer's opinion regarding the new loyalty initiative speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to customers' satisfaction. He makes sure that every customer feels welcomed, making their experience even more enjoyable. In terms of space, the pub has plenty of it, both indoors and outdoors. It's perfect for any occasion, whether it's a small group or a large gathering, making it a great place to organize events. The prices on drinks are reasonable, ensuring that customers can enjoy a good time without breaking the bank. The Patriot pub offers a range of options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, making it accessible to everyone. Overall, my verdict is that The Patriot in Devonport is a must-visit pub. The fantastic customer service, reasonable prices, great owner involvement, and ample space make it an excellent pub to socialize with friends over food and drinks. Highly recommended and will definitely be back."

"Wednesday evening! Amazing Pork Belly! Great service from the Duty Manager. She does an amazing job. Unfortunately she has to make double the effort, because Mrs Peace is….just that….peacefully floating around. Serves me my food without cutlery. I signal to her (standing on the other side of the room) cutlery please, she nods, but never return with cutlery."

"I was immediately in love with the Patriot as a simple beer drinking haunt the moment I walked around and found they had like 4 or more seating areas, particularly the couch inside and the spacious back patio. There was also the upstairs indoor patio with a TV and pool table. We were looking for a place we could chat about work projects and because this place had so much room, it was perfect for us to be able to find space where it wasn't too noisy - we had room all to ourselves. Definitely coming back again any time I want a simple drink and a place to sit back and talk."

"We visited here tonight and ate a hearty dinner. They have a kids menu which is always a winner! Traditional pub food at reasonable prices. Hamburgers, bangers and mash, nachos etc. The cocktails were good at about $16 each. Upstairs is a pool table and dart board for those wanting to settle in for a couple of hours. Great location in Devonport."

"This establishment could be a gem, but needs improvement. I took my partner there to enjoy a meal before catching the ferry back to Auckland CBD. We both ordered the seafood, chips and salad. I chose deep fried, while my partner chose pan fried. Sadly, the fish wasn't fresh, it was grossly over cooked, leaving it dry and stringy. Both plates were lacking. Even the chips had an unexpected proportion of tiny chips that shattered if you tried to pick them up with a fork. The salad was fresh, tasty and thankfully erased the taste of the fish I tried, before deciding it wasn't worth finishing."
