A
Penguin Club
Tucked down a seedy industrial alley off a 19th-century street, the Penguin’s bizarre location matches its acts: everything from Flying Nun stalwarts the Clean to punky/grungy/rocky/country locals. Big national acts and up-and-coming international acts sometimes drop by, too. Fridays are open-stage jam night with free admission. If there’s something on at Penguin – anything – go and see it. It’s nominally Members Only, so ask at the Oamaru i-SITE about scoring a guest pass.

B
Fat Sallys
Popular with locals, especially early on when they’re often tucking into a substantial pub meal. Come along on a Wednesday night for the rollicking pub quiz.

C
Steam
Steam specialises in coffees and fruit juices, and is a good spot to stock up on freshly ground coffee for your own travels.

Criterion Hotel
This restored property is the ultimate corner pub in Oamaru’s heritage district. The canny owner maintains an ever-changing selection of draught brews and there’s also excellent pub food. Don’t blame us if you progress to the single malt heaven also on offer. Oamaru’s historic district once boasted 13 boozers, and the Criterion is the only one still operating.
