Like craft beer and visiting Tauranga. Get here quick smart. Great range of beers including locals and kiwi brewers. Food menu is perhaps limited in choice but more than made up for in quality and awesome staff.
Here's the bonus: the best hot sauce collection I have found in any bar. Forget Tobasco or Cholula. This is the hard core stuff from Fire Dragon and Culleys. Woo hoo!
I was thoroughly impressed. Wide selection of drinks, all blended perfectly and presented well. Numerous dishes, all well paired and with decent portion sizes. My lamb shank was sublime - we had steak, fish, loaded fries and every dish was worth its own review. The jalapeno poppers were paired with a strong cheese to balance the spiciness, giving me the impression that the chef really considered every aspect of every dish.
NOTE the coffee stout won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the waittress took pains to point this out so full marks on service and honesty.
Particularly loved the service offered by the barmen! They were so attentive and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and will have to come back for a taster of all these amazing gins on the shelf. Thank you for looking after us, guys.
Lovely staff, cozy atmosphere and a great selection of drinks and tasty food. They care about their guests :)
Very good service, food and drinks. Many locally made ciders and craft beer. Great spot on a Sundy afternoon, though a little expensive. 2 pints of cider and a bowl of chips for $37.
Quaint place, located in the heart of Tauranga. Lots of good beer and great deals every day. Good food. Good service. Friendly and helpful wait staff. Enjoyed myself here. Would highly recommend to tourists and travelers and even locals for a thoroughly enjoyable evening out.
Great bathroom, awesome service, pretty good steak and delicious coke.
Cheers,
Ended up there Saturday night after a roady from Auckland for a short trip away.
Great bar for a good priced meal, combined with good Live music and friendly staff. The Gluten-free options are good aswell and they have an great selection of everything really, Gin, wine, beer and other spirits. Worth giving them a go. Great value for money.
Cheers from the guy in the swimshorts and Jandals 🙌
Really enjoyed my stay that night.
Awesome meal, great service, busy place so reserved a table as was going to show at baycourt.
Awsome place .great staff .meals much bigger than most. Very satisfactory
First meal back in nz. Great fish and chips, the beer was good too. Great staff very friendly and helpful. Will be back for sure! Check it out if you're in Tauranga you won't be disappointed!
Google seems to have reverted to an older review... No Panhead on tap at present.
Go for the beer, stay for the banter with Ethan and Sky!
Panhead APA on tap. A splendid beer!!
Have to say, this is the only pub (with less than 20 pumps) that I've been in that has two APA's on tap.
Stewart the owner just brought me a McLeod Pale Ale to taste. Nice chap!! Nice beer!
Ace place for a beer.
We love going out for Sunday breakfast with the whole family. Being from tauranga , when we do decide to go in the city center we always find ourselves stuck with the same breakfast options at the popular cafes and restaurants.
Today, the kids woke up late and brunch sounded inevitable . As we wandered through the CBD We were surprised to see a new alternative to our Sunday ritual had surfaced. A NEW BRUNCH VENUE AT THE BARREL ROOM!
At last something new to try.
It was a sunny day we sat outside, the menu was very varied and looked appetizing. We had fresh made pizzas, a delicious breakfast burger and fancy french salads with poached eggs and bacon bits, all of this topped with mimosas and virgin cocktails. It was a treat!
Service was friendly and fast, food was reasonnably priced. we will be back for more!!
Great Team who regularly check on your table. Top selection of beers and gin.
Lovely burgers the service was so good and so nice to us
Took my daughter out for lunch. We had the Thai beef salad and Beef and Blue burger. So delicious. Consistently great service. It was busy, all the outdoor tables were full, yet WHOOSH our food was there in no time. Stewart, your staff are amazing. I recommend you eat here, you won't be dissapointed. I don't do food photos, but presentation and flavours, magnifique.
Great for a cocktail night too - sampled a few of those. Fabulous
Knowledgeable friendly staff, great selection of local beers and ciders and very good food also. Great atmosphere!
Popped in for a pint and some food before the rugby, the chefs specials were mentioned, pork with oven cooked veg, and a fab gravy,
Well presented and very tasty, the others had the fish which was very good.
Pleasant and helpful staff.
Ticked all the boxes for a Welsh bloke.
My favorite bar in Tauranga! They have different beers every time, there’s always something good and the food is quite good too. 100% recommend.
