“Atmosphere plus great food, great staff and great beers !!””

Went the first time to Brewery on a friend’s recommendation one month ago. Clearly a place where the locals like to hang out. Since I have been here many times so felt it was about time I placed a review!

Last time, went on a Saturday night, there was a good buzz as usual. Good band as well to dance!
Excellent food, a good new menu to match with their very unique home brew beers (Custom 69, my favorite, an Indian pale).
Tried the veggie platter, to share with my boyfriend. Yummy yummy (full of colour and flavour), then tried their special of the day, a slow cooked lamb shank casserole (with lamb consommé jelly). Was very tasty and with a nice presentation for a “pub food”, really really surprise!
I’m generally crazy with sweet and desert… I was in paradise! Tried the caramel, chocolate and peppermint tart, now just want to go back at the brewery for this desert! Matched that with a Black Rose (stout plenty of body and roasty malt flavours).Yummmmmm!

Would definitely recommend for a group of friends, cool place to chill with good ol’ buddies, for dinner, snack or just beers !!!

Found myself heading here to catch up with a friend who is a craft brewer and self confessed beer geek. After a couple of the very nice Customs 69 decided that we would indeed stay for some dinner.
The staff were very hospitable and attentive (this is almost as important as the food I find these days). And I decided I would have the ribs and was very glad I did! A lovely portion of them and cooked perfectly – the meat just slid off the bone. I was very happy with them (even more so as the last restaurant I ordered ribs at was bitterly disappointing).
Topped a great dinner off with a “taste tester” of four beers – and I’ll definitely be back for more of that!

was good standard pub food.nz standard that is why you you get plenty of it at a reasonable price..cheers TBB

Awesome Craft Beer. If you like flavorsome beer, with panache, this is the place for you. The food at The Brewery is surprisingly good and two steps above what you expect from a brewery.
I’d unreservedly recommend the food and BEER here.

The decor and ambiance area little basic, but this is a start-up venture. Keep focusing on the food and beer. You can’t go wrong.

I visited one of the newest Gastro Bars in Auckland mid November with 4 friends for dinner. The owners have done a great job transforming the Old Rose and Crown into a modern Brew Bar. They said that they were setting up their first Brew and it would be available in about two weeks.

The place was buzzing with most of the tables occupied. The menu was more upmarket than the usual pub grub and the prices were good. I ordered the Pepper Crusted Venison Fillet and my friends ordered BBQ Pork Spare Ribs, Margarita Pizza, Salmon Marinated in Citrus and Pilsner and side of Fries. My Venison was melt in the mouth variety and everyone enjoyed their meals. It was unanimous that their rustic chips was one of the best and the meals were generous. Service was friendly and the waitress checked a couple of times to see if we were enjoying the meal. One of my friends ordered the Beermisu (interesting variation in Tiramisu) for dessert and said it was tasty.

Overall the place had a good friendly atmosphere with excellent inspired menu and reasonable pricing. We look forward to going back to try out their new brew.
