It is great for both food and beverages. They have a wide range of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The service is good. The pizzas are great value for money. I say that because the amount of ingredients are over-board but from a paying customers’ point of view, yes please! They are probably the busiest bar on a Saturday night within the parameters of the octagon. The downstairs bar has come leaps and bounds of what it was. No more funny smells. Visually the bar looks amazing! Whoever the people were that built it did a great job! Seriously give it a go!

Took a drive to Dunedin and was attracted to Metro’s firepit tables and busy atmosphere. Even though Metro was chocca with Sunday Lunch Diners, the warm and friendly staff managed to find us a seat in not time. We had a shared antipasto platter and a pizza (wow and WOW), both were devine, the wait was minimal and the staff conversant and pleasent!
The locally brewed Greenman beer was very nice and unique! Its always good to be offered something different, when other bars look for cheaper alternatives or stick with mainstrem brands.
I believe Metro is recently under new management? I happened to overhear a conversation; There was no stinky basement bar or awful smells, infact the downstairs Bar looked very upmarket. So was really surprised to read earlier reviews…Keep up the great work Metro, we will definitely be back! Wonderful dining experience. 10/10.

Went to Metro for lunch with my daughter and some friends. The last time we had been to Metro was about 4 years earlier and the food then had been really good, this time couldn’t have been more different. The waitress did not know the specials despite them being on a board by the bar. I ordered mushroom soup which came out luke warm, my friends salad was comprised of some lettuce, chopped tomato and some blue cheese thrown in, my daughter had chips which were soggy. My daughter needed to go to the toilet so I took her down the stairs but could not see where the toilet was as there was no sign.. so had to go back up and ask the waitress. the toilet was downstairs, outside in the alley through the DISGUSTING basement bar which looked like someone’s filthy basement and smelled like vomit. The toilet had not hand dryer or towels, it STANK of urine. I had to hold my daughter over the toilet seat so she wouldn’t have to actually touch it. I would not go back here if you paid me. Honestly the poor service, food and venue had me wondering how they get any customers at all – ever. Maybe should cancel the food and just run the revolting basement bar for 18 year olds who don’t know any better..

After reading other reviews of this place mine will go along the same lines, worst service Ive experienced at a bar around the world, 3rd world countries do it better.
Many reasons, one being our sober driver who doesn’t drink was told he was to drunk to enter. The female who I believe might be the manager was the most arrogant Ive dealt with and the other security thought that there intimidation might scare us, worst bar ever, and oh yeah go downstairs and have a smell, what a dump, could go on for hours, simply don’t waste your time with this place.

After reading the reviews I was very reluctant to go but had already purchased my vouchers from Grab one. I arrived with friends and only on arrival did we realise that our vouchers had expired by 2 months. The manager was very kind and said it was absolutly fine. We all had pizzas and they were delicious, especially the vegetarian pepper and feta pizza. The bar was busy but the service was good, very quick to get our happy hour drinks ! Will definatly go back next time we are in Dunedin.

Worst service I have ever experienced.No rating is low enough to fully portray my disgust in the overall manner of the staff or management. If you wish to visit Dunedin’s worst bar; this is it!
My opinion is based on the fact that i saw a bouncer throw a girl across a car bonnet and once injured he laughed at the matter and made threats against other public members upon questioning his motive.

We also purchased vouchers through dailydo.co.nz and we can only go at lunchtime. Well, every lunchtime we have gone it is closed. All signage and internet information states open from 7am till 11pm and everytime I call no one answers. a complete waste of money as we are not going to be able to use them. Should have stated on the voucher a particualar time maybe.

Where to begin! My boyfriend and I purchased vouchers online at Dailydo.co.nz to go and have pizza and dessert at Metro. Having never eaten there before we didn’t know what to expect. On arrival we presented out vouchers, which totally confused the staff members. They were unaware of the vouchers and took some time to gather their thoughts. One staff member grumbled about having to make desserts as he didn’t know how. He looked totally hung over even though it was 5pm, and continued to sigh loudly the whole time we were there (which wasn’t as long as we thought due to the poor service). Another female staff member arrived and began throwing bits of god knows what at other members from behind the bar. The bar was an absolute mess, sticky tables and cluttering everywhere. The female staff member talked loudly about how disorganised they were to another member, distracting us from our table accross the room! The pizza came out cold and he forgot the sauce for one. We weren’t given any side plates, forks or knives!? The pizza dough was just a bulk supermarket style dough, which intrigues me as it’s not difficult to make pizza dough (these pizzas ranged from apx $23 to $29, so not cheap by any means). Then our dessert arrived, we ordered good old chocolate sundaes, thinking they wouldn’t be able to muck these up. Sure enough, they did, the sundaes didn’t contain the ingredients which were included in the menu (which was full of typos by the way), and certainly weren’t worth the $10 they cost! I ordered a coke and got a Corona because the staff member wasn’t listening. The spoon I was first given for my dessert was filthy :S The atmousphere created by the lack lustre staff that evening was disgusting. The fact that Metro is predominantly a Sat night pick up venue doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to do a simple menu like pizza and pasta properly. The place was filthy and we simply won’t be back!
