We are locals & Brew is our favourite Rotorua pub by a good margin. We love the ever-changing selection of NZ's best craft beers, which combined with the friendly staff, nice atmosphere & good value meals have made regulars out of us.

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

Had lunch here and tried the local brewed beer, it was a lovely treat and ate their BLT and fries lunch special. The food arrived extremely quickly, so great for those who want to see the sights!. There are many beers on tap, go on have a few, wish I had time to do that!

We dined at Brew on the busy Saturday night after the Rotorua marathon. Service was quick and friendly. The beer was delicious as were both main courses - pork belly and lamb shanks. Desserts were OK but a bit lacking - couldn't taste cardamom in the apple and cardamom crumble, the espresso or stout in the chocolate espresso stout brownie,... More

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... More

Had a relaxing wedding anniversary dinner. Really enjoyed the tasting racks of Croucher beer. Reminded me of my grandfathers "proper" made beer. The meal was great. We were so full they gave us desert to takeaway.

On a stroll after eating at Sabroso (good, not great), we noticed a lot of folks eating & drinking on an otherwise slow evening in late March. It looked like a mellow & inviting place; so we returned the next evening & grabbed a table immediately inside looking out on the street scene. Fabulous beer & good vitals. Had tender,... More
