Best places: Live music bars in New Zealand

👍👍 What an amazing little bar! Was my first time here tonight and was not disappointed! Is a small bar that had brilliant music from Stretch. There is a little dance floor, several different rooms and alcoves. The furniture is an eclectic mix of lounge chairs, occasional tables, regular tables and chai...

👍👍 5/5 wine recommendations (had an Argentinian red and white was from Venice) 5/5 vibes. (live musician was present but we didn't get to hear him. We left around 6.45pm) 4/5 food. (Ricotta Gnudi was soft and pillowy) Thank you lovely staff who recommended the exceptional wines 🤌🤌

👍 Have been here a number of times and it’s always a pleasant experience. The mushroom pizza was delicious, had a good amount of mushrooms on it but not a lot of depth in flavour. The onion rings were very average. The onion was soggy, no crunch and coating was oily with no flavour to it. The service...

👍👍 Very nice bar with a super lovely german manager. They have live music from ca. 8pm til midnight. Beer costs around 8 till 10$, thats a little bit more compared to other locations in that area, but you get pretty good beer. In summer it gets crowded a lot, so be there early.

Convivial haunt with a roof patio featuring a wide selection of craft brews & an eclectic food menu.

Lively pub featuring a menu of pizza, wings, BBQ ribs & other hearty mains, plus live music & DJs.

Craft cocktails & global bites in an Intimate lounge with mood lighting & DJs spinning tunes.

👍👍 We were the other party that were double booked accidently (through no fault of the bar manager, Nikki, but a previous bar managers' error). It doesn't seem like this is the norm here as Nikki was extremely well organised and communicative throughout the booking process. And hey... mistakes happen....

😐 The food is ok, nothing special but really expensive. The kids lamb pie is not good at all my daughter couldn't take more than one bite and I agreed with her. Cocktails were nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice small playground for kids. Family friendly. There is an outdoor area for s...

👍👍 One of a kind - cosy, quirky place with fine wine, great beer and good food. Staff are charming and the vibe is nicely laid back. Added bonus: great fish and chip shop across the road.

👍👍 The food was amazing. Lots of food choices and everything tasted good. Grilled fish, popcorn cauliflower, pizza and prawn dumplings were spot on. We had a group booking outside which had a nice view. Had a great time. The only downside was that there is limited mocktail menu and I had to pay cocktai...

😐 Nice location and decor. Mediocre service at best. Lady serving us just wasn't interested. Food is priced well but is average. Nachos were borderline burnt and pasta lacked any kind of flavor. Suspect people are only visiting because of the location and the association with Three Wise Birds. I hope...

😐 Average at best. The food was ok, but not worth the price. The fish and chips were well presented, however the batter on the fish was greasy and bland. The salad was covered in dressing which would have been better on the side. Once our food was brought out, the waiter and waitress basically igno...

😐 Visited New Plymouth and Peggy Gordon's a few years ago and was great. So came back again. Food was average at best. Service and drinks very good

👍👍 Great staff Great atmosphere Super spacious

😠 Had the worst experience because of an a**hole bar tender working late Saturday night I politely asked if he could come closer as the music was loud as he couldn’t hear me. he just started aggressively yelling at me. He’s lucky I didn’t throw my drink at him.

Down-to-earth watering hole with a laid-back feel featuring live music & standard pub grub.

👍👍 We had such a friendly and down to earth experience at The Paw. Our golden retriever was treated like gold, the owners were so kind and hospitable, the Golden Retriever Daze cocktail had so many flavours as did the Garden Lovers pizza and we LOVED the dog menu. One of the owners even ran out to buy...

👍 We went to this pub for drinks, nibbles, and the weekly trivia competition. The bar was packed, with very loud and lively music. We ordered our drinks and food and settled in for the trivia game. While we enjoyed playing the game (and ended up winning 2nd place), it was annoying that the music was s...
