Very (!) rustic drink (and food) place in downtown Queenstown. The food was good, but the seats were dirty and the tables sticky.

A great open, cosy bar, also with outdoor seating. Good ambience inside, open and roomy with a fireplace and very good service offering great drink options.

Do not order the Poutine with curds and gravy. It is not gravy, it is a tasteless slimy thick clear jelly with a tablespoon of curds!

Hidden away but super bar for awesome pizza and amazing light bites! Over-ordered but boxes ready to take away.
Recommend buffalo chicken and mushroom pizzas and their chargrilled brocoli

This is where we started our first night out in Queenstown. Its small, its crazy, its fun but it gets a little to cramped up in some time. No space to even stand & I bet you wont be able to dance without spilling some of your drink here.

Hi Ash,
Thank you for your review. We are a small, crazy and fun little bar, and that is the essence of most of the positive customer experiences. There is definitely room to dance and plenty of interesting people to meet at the bar. It is an extrovert's paradise, so load up the car and get on down for another boogie;)
Cheers,

Wouldn’t service anyone that looked “too drunk”! Very bad service. I live here and never would go here again!

Hi Hannah,
Sorry about your experience in Rhino's. Queenstown is one of the strictest towns in the country in regards to intoxication. Our goal is to help you have a great experience while not compromising your safety.
I totally understand the delivery of these values can be tough to grasp sometimes and so we continue to educate the staff on how to soften this message. I appreciate your review and will continue to work towards a more variable delivery to suit the different types of customers.
Kind Regards,

We loved this place so much we came back many times - We played Jenga, ate wings, drank mulled wine, played trivia, danced until 3am. It's very small so it packs out quickly but worth every second!

Eggnog shooters are to die for. Great staff, good vibe and plenty on offer. Only let down was the poutine, took way too long to receive our order and it was not poutine, just chips a tiny bit of gravy and grated cheese :(

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the 5 stars!
Sorry the poutine was a let down, we did tweak the recipe to get it just right... Glad the eggnog shooters made up for it ;)

Good dance music, drinks, atmosphere and staff. We had a reasonable size group out celebrating pre-wedding big night out and ended up at Rhino's on recommendations from Pub on Wharf after their closing. Was well worth it and were there for a couple of hours until closing. All enjoyed ourselves and would recommend as an easy going place with reasonable priced drinks.
