Our third visit to enjoy the cider and beer tastings and pizza deal.Prompt service, good value, lots of character and history. The proprietors maintain a consistent high quality establishment.

It was a bit of a walk from the town centre but we were delighted we made the effort - a fantastic selection of beers and good quality food. I had a pizza with a tasting tray of 5 beers which is a great way...to try the different varieties of ale on offer. My wife ordered the spaghetti which was a huge bowlful that i helped her with :)More

On first arrival in Blenheim, we had been rather unimpressed with the range of restaurant options on offer in the town. So changing our focus to pubs, we were absolutely delighted to discover this wonderful establishment with its amazing array of high quality German beers...on tap, a varied NZ & European food menu, a lovely beer garden, and great atmosphere. When they came, our meals were so good, and so well prepared and presented, that the term “pub food” fails to do justice to them . And such big portions! Definitely the best, most generous and best-value gulasch that I have ever had, anywhere in the world, including Germany and Austria. We came back the following evening, and would have come three nights running, had the pub not been closed on our third evening in town. Wonderful!More

What a wonderful find on a wet and cold night, Lovely to come across an old-fashioned place with service and food of a high quality Ambiance was great, lots of chatty and happy patrons Food was great, hearty and hot. Service was great, didn't have...to wait too long, even though place was packed, great selection of craft beer Highly recommendedMore

A last-minute call to see if our large group could dine on a Saturday night was accommodated with a happy response. Casual dining and a great beer selection was what were looking for and it was perfect. Menu covered food from Germany, Italy and favourites...from New Zealand. The food was delicious! The adults lemonade was to die for! 😉 Can highly recommend this venue. Can't wait to visit again in the Summer so we can experience the outside beer garden.More

Great German beer garden, pub, and pizza place. It's the backyard of Rennaissance Brewery, with a great selection of craft beer on tap and very tasty pizza. Very friendly staff as well. Go for Pizza Sofia if vegetarian, delicious. Prost!

We visited Dodson Street to celebrate a significant birthday. A great range of brands and types of beer. Food was delicious and having advised in advance of my dietary requirements, Dietmar and his team accommodated them willingly. Decent sized meals which didn't take to long...to come out. Bar and table staff were friendly, Dietmar stopped by our table and had a good chat - a really enjoyable night out. Great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.More

Blenheim ITM Social Club absolutely loved our takeaway meals today, thanks Dietmar and team for the delicious fresh, hot meals, boxed up perfectly and ready to go!! A++++ highly recommend Dodsons 😁

Recommended by a friend, so we caught up with her there for a couple of drinks and dinner. A good range of beers on tap and the food was great. Staff service was good and the price very reasonable for what we had. Pizza, a...couple of burgers and fries and none of us left hungry! Quite a few people there so seemed a popular place.More

We had a warm welcome. A working Brewery just next door. Huge beer and cider selection. Staff is friendly and know their brews. We will be back !

Service was terrible, food and drink was nice. Didn't even get asked if we enjoyed our meal when we paid the bill. Won't be back

Dinner after long day. Friendly staff. Heaps of seating. Our first visit. Heaps if craft beers. Steak was very good. Did not wait long for food.
