I love The Helm Bar and Kitchen’s awesomely spacious outdoor area and the multitude of TV screens around. It makes it the perfect bar to hit up with mates pre-match and to stick around in post-match. The atmosphere is vibrant with such a cool buzz amongst everyone. Definitely a bar to try get a table at to cheer the All Blacks on.

The Helm Bar & Kitchen has the biggest range (I think) of international draught beers. It’s a sweet spot for after-work drinks followed by rocking $5 pizzas. It’s also a fab spot to watch a game of rugby and will no doubt be a popular haunt during the early morning rugby world cup games in a few weeks!

nice meals and good service

A bit of an odd location, (next to Pack n Save) but otherwise a great little spot. You’ve got two tasty burger options, classic flavours with a little pizzaz. There’s the ‘Gourmet Chicken Burger’ which includes pan-seared chicken breast, mango chutney and camembert or the ‘Beef and Bacon Burger’ which comes with roasted capsicum and smoked gouda. Both are served with fries. Tip: come here on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy live acoustic music 4-7pm.

Great modern bar with outside seating and heaters which is ideal for a smoker like me, also do some great bar snacks and yummy food and have a great selection of beers on tap and often has some live music playing here - perfect for after work drinks

Trendy bar with great food and a nice variety of beers on tap my top choice of bar to come and big sports games on the screens great smoking area too with outdoor heating so you don’t get cold

Chicken sandwich and chips at the Helm in Hamilton. Delicious.

Even though it is located unusually in the carpark of a supermarket it is a great little bar with good food, service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Love coming here for dinner any night of the week. Great food - especially the pizzas! YUM. The TVs are also great for when you want to watch some sport at the same time :)
