Had dinner here, was quite late at night for Rotorua but they were happy to serve us, even with my picky dietary requirements! Nothing was an issue and the food was fantastic!!! Highly recommend the Pork Belly! Service was fantastic and will be raving about this to whoever mentions they are going to Rotorua in the future!
Just a plain and simple classic style pub like atmosphere with a little class and fine selection of local beers. My favourite is a pilsner straight after a long week on a friday. I recomend it to anyone who likes good beers good food and nice atmosphere of any ages. Cheers guys nice place to visit or be regular

We made a booking for 20 people to have a meal after participation in the Rotorua Marathon in way or another. The tables were set and ready for us when we arrived. The service was great and friendly and we all enjoyed our food. The prices are very reasonable. We certainly will visit them again if we are in Rotorua...

Fabulous beer & good vitals. Had tender,...
