The Rose and Thistle (aka, The Rat) is an amazing pub, perfect for watching sport on the big screen, great value pub meals (served all day long!), an interesting range of tap beers. The DJs on Saturday nights rock too!

The Rose & Thistle is a classic kiwi pub. Fondly nicknamed the ‘RAT’, except the standard old pub fare here.

Commonly known as ‘The RAT’, I love this place as those few times I go there it has a way of making me feel better about myself …aside of a floor which seems to have a fourth dimension to it (booze, vomit, and quite possibly urine) they do on occasion have some great live talent, notwithstanding the drunk octogenarians posing as cougars who seem to have been booted out of the local RSA.
