"Fabulous historic pub, friendly staff and a great range of beers and ciders. And Happy Hour runs Monday to Friday from 3.30 pm to 6.00 pm. Free in stree parking after 5.00 pm."
"Warm, spacious, awesome vibe. The food was amazing and it's portions size is something I'm not used to cos Auckland gives less haha loved the background music. Family friendly and the setting of the pub reminds me of old school English and Irish bars. The staff were very inviting and friendly, the food came out pretty quickly too. Right in the middle of the city"
"It's a popular bar and eating place. A lot of live sports screens, seating is pretty well spaced. Great beers on tap. I found the pork ribs to be pretty lean but tasty enough. My wife's steak and chips was nice."
"Best fish and chips in NZ so far. The price is a bit high but the food is really good. It came real fast, it was delicious and the portion was more than enough. Fresh and hot food with live fire pit and lots of customers means only one thing. We are coming back :)"
"We had just finished walking thru the Rotorua Night Market and decided to have dinner here. The front of the restaurant was brightly lit with fairy lights around the large tree in front and called attention to the classic building where the restaurant is. We didn't have a booking and was lucky to get in as it was still early in the evening. We ordered the special lamb shanks and the pork belly. Food, drinks and service was good! Definitely recommended pub for dining and drinks."
