  1. A

    Loaded Hog

    Many people get loaded at the home-style Hog pub on weekends, but it's a tad tamer during the day and early evening, with harbourside seating. Home-brews outdo the pretty average pub grub on offer.

  2. B

    Kingslander

    This big complex in a historic warehouse can be raucous when there's a big game on, but usually there's a pleasant pub vibe. It's home to the most competitive trivia nights in the city.

  3. C

    Masonic Tavern

    A hefty array of beers on tap and an authentic ‘sit outside and watch the world go by' vibe make this the pick of the bunch for those after an old-fashioned pub atmosphere.

  4. Matakana House

    A real local pub, this 1903 wooden hotel has taxidermied animals everywhere, a beer garden out front and occasional live music and DJs. It’s an affectation-free zone.

    Occidental

    Belgian beer, Belgian food (plenty of moules and frites – mussels and chips) and live music are on offer at this historic 1870 pub.

  6. E

    Northern Steamship Co.

    Standard lamps hang upside down from the ceiling while the mural behind the bar dreams of NZ summer holidays in this good-looking large pub by the train station.
