A
Grand Irish Pub
Siphoning into NZ’s insatiable (and, it has to be said, annoying) passion for Irish pubs, the Grand Hotel's version is as good a spot as any to elbow down a few pints of Guinness on a misty river afternoon. Good pub meals too.

B
Celtic Inn
The Celtic expertly offsets the Fish nearby with good old-fashioned pub stuff, labourers, travellers and students bending elbows with a few tasty pints of the black stuff. Friendly staff, live music, red velvet chairs, kids darting around parents’ legs – it’s all here.

C
Pugg Mahones
Holding court on the corner of Bendigo’s very short club strip, the Guinness flows freely at Puggs. Great atmosphere, beer garden and live music Thursday to Saturday.

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 and bands play on the weekends.

H
Rosie O’Grady’s
Rosie’s is usually not too blokey, with NZ boutique beers, jam nights, pool tables, big screens and good-value pub grub (mains $11 to $28). The beer garden has actual grass – ideal for a pint or two of the black stuff.

Pugg Mahones
With Guinness (and many other beers) on tap, Puggs has a thickly welcoming atmosphere, not unreasonable doormen, a beer garden and live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night till 3am.

Craic
The Craic is a busy locals' boozer of the Irish ilk, good for a pint or two, or a mug of hot chocolate if you're feeling sub-par. Fantastic streetside terrace for sunny afternoons, and solid pub-grub (mains $13 to $22).
