What People Say

"my god what more could you ask for from a little pub in the heart of Queenstown."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious food, particularly the Beef and Guinness pie, and the friendly atmosphere.

"We stopped in here after a day trip through Glenorchy. It was self-seating but we didn't wait more than a few minutes after ordering for the food to arrive. The drinks (Guinesses) were cold and refreshing, exactly what we came for!"
