My husband and I are currently on holidays in NZ from AUS and we got talking to another couple on the hobbiton tour and was told about this amazing gin bar that had 300 different gins so us being gin lovers thought well we are going to have to see this place before we fly back home.
We did a 3hr drive to check this establishment out and can say we were definitely happy we drove all this way.
As soon as we walked in we were so amazed by not only the massive wall of gins but also just the layout and atmosphere of the place.
The food was amazing and gin even better and of course the staff were very attentive and very friendly also very helpful on helping us choose what gins to try as there were a lot to choose from.
We would highly recommend any gin lovers to give this one a try if you’re in the area.

Great family environment. A genuinely well cooked steak. The wedges are generous and have a lot of sour cream on them. The pork belly bits are tangy and tasty.
The mousse was more of an adult dessert than a kids one, with dark chocolate flavor and rich tart berries. Again, very nice. Vielen Dank für das leckere Essen.

Stunning food and awesome service! We went for lunch yesterday and were so impressed that we went back for dinner tonight. Bianca, who served us, is brilliant, inviting, fun, knowledgeable and attentive. The food is immaculately cooked and presented, with flavours that hit every spot. We had the Roast lamb shoulder and veges for 2 for our main. The gin selection is outstanding!

The food was spectacular, although what truly stood out was the exceptional service. Everything was excellent from start to finish. My partner graduated, and we brought a cake; the staff were incredibly helpful, providing plates and assisting us with everything we needed. We were treated like royalty throughout our visit. The food was very good, but the service was even better. The staff were outstanding, and I have nothing negative to say about the experienc

First time eating here, had such a lovely experience! We had chicken wings to start, they were so tasty! Me and my partner both had the chicken katsu burgers, and I have to say they were the best I’ve ever had! They are an absolute must try. We felt very looked after, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. A big thank you to everyone who looked after us and our meals, we will for sure be back :)
