Best place in Blenheim.

I’d kill for that pork knuckle. We went to this place four times in four weeks. Probably the best beer in nz.

Great Dinner

We recently went to Dodson Street and had a couple of really tasty pizzas with chips, and a tasting board of nice beers on the side. What more do you need?! Friendly and hospitable staff made it an enjoyable dinner. Thank you! Alex and Emma

Awesome beer garden in the sun!

Snuck past here for a late lunch / early dinner - were pleasantly surprised! Food was delish and home made with lots of sauces on the side. Good selection of beers! Make sure you sit out in the sunshine.
