Best pub food in New Zealand

"Dinner and a drink or two at the Claddagh is the perfect way to end a lazy Saturday. The staff are friendly, the food is tasty and the atmosphere is great. Sitting by the heater and polishing off a yummy dessert will make you totally forget the stresses of the week and later on live music will keep you entertained. "

"Brooklyn Bar is an awesome place to grab dinner after work. I highly recommend the warm cajun chicken salad - the little roast potatoes and kumara really make the dish. The staff are nice and you never have to wait too long to eat."

"If you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere and good food, look no further than the Lumsden. It’s a great place for dinner on a weeknight. It doesn’t have a huge menu, but what they do serve is delicious - I’m a big fan of the fettuccini - and they have heaps of craft beers to try out, if you’re into that sort of thing. If it’s a bit busy and you end up sitting outside, fluffy blankets and big heaters will keep you toasty warm."

"I went to O’Hagans with a small group for a work dinner, and we were all impressed with the food and the service we received. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and live music and dancing kept us entertained well into the evening. Definitely recommend."
