We had steaks and burgers and it was great. Great selection of beers and diverse sitting options: on-street, indoors, balcony, and roofed garden.
Really nice place and real close to ferry station as well.
Apologies photos were taken half way through the meal, but fantastic food - two of the kids ate free. One had bangers and mash (very generous portion) and the other nuggets and chips. The eldest had calamari, which was great and two adult meals of bangers and mash and lamb salad. Fantastic food, fabulous staff, great beers on tap - very happy and would absolutely come here again!!!
Was quite nice lunch and tasted nice. Had snapper risotto and chargrilled lamb salad. Friendly staff that kept checking how everything was :)
Proper hearty pub food and actually feels like a UK pub, too. Great afternoons or evernings!
Quiz nights are always a laugh, especially with the beers flowing!
I like the 'beer garden' area at the back. It's perfect for summer time and have a good time with friends. We had steak salad which was pretty good. The steak cooked nicely and salad was served in pretty generous size. Also had daily special steak pie. It was pretty big. It was served with peas and fat chips. I really like the chips because they were so thick and crunchy. The pie was good but little bit too salty that day. Service was pretty good as well. Recommend for people who like pub food to give it a try!
Came here a couple of weeks ago for a pub quiz with some workmates and had such a great time! The pints are actual pints (haha) and the food is pretty typical but delicious pub fare. We really enjoyed the atmosphere they had created and it was an awesome mixture of different people in the bar, some from as far as Brazil.
The pub quiz was really well organised and super fun, and we even won a free round of shots for getting the mystery question right on the first try! Will definitely be back again.
Had my 21st Birthday party here. The staff went above and beyond and really made the night go smoothly. Food was taken around the room to all the guests rather than being left on the table which I appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed friendly environment without being too pricey.
Went here for quiz night, was really fun. Had a salad that was really nice, price was a bit steep for what it was. But would definitely go back. great atmosphere, lovely staff.

Went here with the wife and another couple to play quiz last Tuesday evening. Was really surprised at how busy it was but as luck would have it a table was leaving just as we walked in so we pounced on that. I lived in London for a couple of years in my early 20's and this pub is the closest thing I'm come across in NZ to a real English pub. The decor was well done with beautiful maps and quirky quotes around the walls. The fire was roaring in the middle of the bar and everybody was drinking PINTS of beer rather than the scooners we are all used to. We decided to order dinner and I'm glad we did. Fish & chips for me, Patriot burger for the wife and a couple of steaks( med-rare) for Dave and Debs. I can honestly say the fish and chips was excellent, not greasy in the slightest, fresh and tasty with crispy batter and home cut fat chips! Not the frozen chips you get most places. Wifey raved about her burger although she couldn't finish it all, clearly a homemade pattie and plenty of lettuce,tomatoes pickles etc bursting out of it. Dave and Debs said their steaks were very nice, cooked to perfection. They were presented beautifully on the plate from what I could see. Girls had dessert, Dave and I had another Guinness.
A slick operation is how I'd describe The Patriot, great location, great service, great food, great beer, the only thing that wasn't great was our performance in the quiz....11th!
Went in for lunch here with no planning; I was surprised that the food's actually quite tasty! There's nothing much in decor, it's pretty much a dark and a bit tired looking pub with friendly staff. They have selections of beer on tap--Guiness is one of them, which is a win in my book.
My partner ordered eggs and bacon on toast ($15.50) and the staff happily obliged his request of replacing the grilled tomato with mushrooms--according to him it's tasty enough. I ordered the sandwich of the day ($19.50) which was cajun spiced grilled chicken with guacamole and hand cut agria chips; this was really good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the cajun spice really enhanced its flavor, with tasty house made fresh guacamole on top.
I would want to come back and try their other dishes--probably at night to see how the ambience is once it's changed into a night pub!
The Vegetable Terrine was fantastic!
Love the fact that it is healthy yet full in taste. Didn't realise pumpkin ad cream cheese can go best together. Love the fact that the food came out fast and presentation was superb.
Ambience. Service. Food. Five star no less!
We have been here a few times now and always thoroughly enjoy the meals and beer. The food is always great and the service was just as good each time we have been, and there is a really good atmosphere. the last time we visited the patriot we took a few friends along with us and they all loved the place as well. If we lived closer we would be there all the time. Hopefully be back soon.
Decided to stop in here over the Christmas break for a quick meal before going to a movie and found the service friendly and efficient and food great.
Not expecting much from a pub for a meal especially over this period we were quite taken by surprise.
My wife had the fish and chips and I had the pie.
The fish was fresh and tasty, the batter crispy and not at all oily and the chips were the best we have had for a long time, fat, salty and tasty. While not the healthiest meal was most enjoyable.
My pie was very tasty and of course I had the chips as well.
I would recommend The Patriot as a good place to stop off for a pint and a feed, even if it's for just a bowl of chips, when you're in Devoport.
An old school pub that is larger than life! That's what you get at the patriot. Really great location in Devonport in an old Victorian bank! This place is awesome if there is a game on and a toasty little bar during winter. Their food is much of a muchness as it's a pub so expect decent pub food. Their pricing is about standard for the area. What I love about this place is it's massive garden bar out the back which is amazing during summer. This is my usual haunt after the Devonport Food and Wine Festival. It caters well for everyone.
We visited here tonight and ate a hearty dinner. They have a kids menu which is always a winner! Traditional pub food at reasonable prices. Hamburgers, bangers and mash, nachos etc. The cocktails were good at about $16 each. Upstairs is a pool table and dart board for those wanting to settle in for a couple of hours. Great location in Devonport.
Great atmosphere, beer & food. The steak & Guiness pie is highly rated & delicious. Friendly staff, plenty of seating. Recommended for Aucklanders & visitors 😎😁❤️🔥
The mussels in white wine were superb and the best of the numerous places around the north island where we ate mussels during our quest to eat green-lipped mussels every day we could find them.
Classic corner pub but not on a corner. Absolutely delicious food, cheers to chef & well worth the wait. Sat outside & enjoyed the sunshine & the people watching. I would of given you 5 stars but you really do need to give your toilets a well deserved makeover or at least a good scrub & paint & new toilet brushes & fix the door latches.
Good food, lovely spot in the evening sun and friendly service. Two for the price of one meals on Wednesday nights are to be recommended.

The Patriot is an awesome pub that provides more than just good drinks and food. The experience is genuinely personalized, making it feel like more of a community gathering place. Fantastic customer service is something worth mentioning, as the staff at The Patriot is among the best in Devonport. Their commitment to excellent service is evident from the moment a customer walks through the door. Very polite, constantly clearing glassware.
Went here for a drink after work last Friday.
The owner's involvement and interest in the customer's opinion regarding the new loyalty initiative speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to customers' satisfaction. He makes sure that every customer feels welcomed, making their experience even more enjoyable.
In terms of space, the pub has plenty of it, both indoors and outdoors. It's perfect for any occasion, whether it's a small group or a large gathering, making it a great place to organize events.
The prices on drinks are reasonable, ensuring that customers can enjoy a good time without breaking the bank. The Patriot pub offers a range of options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, making it accessible to everyone.
Overall, my verdict is that The Patriot in Devonport is a must-visit pub. The fantastic customer service, reasonable prices, great owner involvement, and ample space make it an excellent pub to socialize with friends over food and drinks. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.
Brilliant food and service great for functions
Wednesday evening! Amazing Pork Belly! Great service from the Duty Manager. She does an amazing job. Unfortunately she has to make double the effort, because Mrs Peace is….just that….peacefully floating around. Serves me my food without cutlery. I signal to her (standing on the other side of the room) cutlery please, she nods, but never return with cutlery.
Local pub in what was originally a Bank of New Zealand building. Selection of on tap and bottle beers plus wine. Pub style bar meals at reasonable cost, we went twice during our stay in Devonport, cheery and friendly staff.
My partner and I had a dinner at here on last Wednesday, so lovely place.and the waiter with curly hair is so cute, and he really given us good service and patience. I speak English not well but I feel here like my home. Steak& Guinness pie was great, and fried fish and chip with salad was wonderful. I will come back again and again. Enjoy here every moment with my partner, definitely 5 stars
Didn't eat. Staff friendly. Good quiet place for catching up/making new friends. Lovely fire kept room warm

Good vibe . - excellent brews
And top it , good kitchen with tasty food
Enjoyed many a meal here
Nice spot to sit outside and enjoy a cold drink, service was really friendly and efficient. They even packed up one of our orders as we were too full from the earlier food. Well worth a stop for a good feed and a nice drink. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
I was immediately in love with the Patriot as a simple beer drinking haunt the moment I walked around and found they had like 4 or more seating areas, particularly the couch inside and the spacious back patio. There was also the upstairs indoor patio with a TV and pool table. We were looking for a place we could chat about work projects and because this place had so much room, it was perfect for us to be able to find space where it wasn't too noisy - we had room all to ourselves. Definitely coming back again any time I want a simple drink and a place to sit back and talk.
