B
Strawberry Tree
A boisterous, atmospheric pub with couches, pool table, beer garden and Thursday night jam sessions. Much of the interior is built from historic materials salvaged from old mansions and dance halls. Journalistic antiwar photos adorn the walls.

C
Seumus’s
An authentically snug drinking den, pouring a reliable Guinness and a good selection of whiskies. Mix it all up with hearty bar food and regular live music, and you’ve got the recipe for the liveliest joint in town.

D
Whaler
A lively leviathan of a pub with good people-watching from the front seats, pool tables, big screens and a spartan deck upstairs. Monteith’s and Murphy’s on tap and a Neil Young soundtrack.

E
Point Sheep Shearing Show
The 30-minute Point Sheep Shearing Show at the Point B&B is fun and educationally ovine. You can also feed a ram, and lambs between September and February. Classic NZ!

Suave
A cool, split-level blues and jazz bar serving up a neat selection of tasty dishes (salads, burgers, lamb shanks) and good coffee. Open mic night Thursday; live music Friday and Saturday.

CPR
Get a fix of Blenheim’s own-roast coffee. Muffins if you’re lucky, but it’s really all about the beans.

Flying Haggis
Proudly displaying a Glaswegian connection, this otherwise nondescript pub rustles up baked potatoes, toasties and fish and chips, which can be washed down with imported Scottish ales. Musos drift in from the hills occasionally and twang their guitars.
