Powderkeg & Matterhorn
The Powderkeg is the party bar of the Powderhorn Chateau, with bands in winter and regular dancing on the tables – once the detritus of the burger and pizza meals have been cleared. Upstairs is the swankier Matterhorn, serving cocktails and sophisticated bar snacks as well as relaxed but chic à la carte dining.

Jolly Good Fellows
Corr, Guvnor! You ain’t seen a pub like this since old Blighty, with lashings of cultural clichés and cheeky humour added to its pub grub, along with Old Speckled Hen, Tetleys and Bulmers cider on tap.

Shed
A lively place to sup a beer and catch the big game, sit outside and watch the world go by, or strut your stuff to DJs at the weekends. Food is punter-pleasing pub fare in man-sized portions.

Bond
Aiming for 007-like sophistication, this is Taupo’s most upmarket bar, with European beers, tapas and DJs up late. The drinks cost a pretty Money-Penny, but you may still see a Q at the bar.

Finn MacCuhal’s
With Irish ephemera nailed to the walls and a backpackers’ next door, you can be sure that there will be plenty of craic here; DJs on the weekends.
