Galbraith's Alehouse

Beer fanatic?  One stop shop right here.  Great beers brewed on site here (you can even check out the magic brewing room).  Excellent food too - perfect place to come before a gig at the Power Station.

Just went to Galbraiths with the girls for a birthday / Christmas lunch. It had everything - the big pine Christmas tree, dreary weather outside, retro carpet, old wooden tables dotted with old men enjoying a quiet pint, decent prices, uber-tasty bangers and mash...fun. Next time I'm up for a bit of nostalgia I shall make a short sojourn down the road to this absolute gem.

The range of beers here is really good and there's a deck for summertime! This is the cosiest place in winter too though- they serve amazing winter comfort food. This is a handy place to grab a couple of drinks before gigs at the powerstation. And because they brew here it always smells great. 

the best selection of beers at any pub in AK hands down. Great service and excellent food too. Feel like a great local botique beer on tap? No problem! Or perhaps a strong IPA from California? They have that too. Great ambience as well.

Great beer in many varieties, great food. No loud music, warm, high ceiling. I wish more places were like this. If you are after a great beverage and a chat with friends, this place will suit perfectly. I guess they could stay open a bit longer....... but that is if I am picking straws.

The beers here are absolutely fantastic. I'm personally not a huge fan of cask ale, so I don't drink the locally made drops that often, but they always have totally banging guest beers on tap which I like to get well stuck into. The drinks prices are reasonable too, which is odd for Auckland. The food is mostly good but can be a bit hit and miss. Serving sizes can vary hugely across the menu which is a bit odd (the beef brisket being kind of puny, and the chicken confit being a behemoth). The food is probably a tad overpriced for what you get (but then again I'm a cheaparse). The staff have that "grumpy English bartender" thing going which is a bit weird, but yeah, overall it's probably the best place to drink in Auckland.

All the world cup games, great pub food and incredible beer. Really good service, great atmosphere.

A great place for traditionally brewed beer, they have a great selection of quality ales. They have their own microbrewery on site - try the awesome chocolatey stout. Food is decent quality pub fare with large sized portions. Great for a pub lunch, or for a pre-rugby pint (it's not too far to Eden Park).
