Venue Hire

Probably the Best Bar in the World
Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a corporate lunch, or a casual family get-together, we have the right space and the skills to make your event a winner. Our relaxed, unhurried Central Otago vibe makes everyone feel instantly at home.

Our Spaces

We tailor our layout to suit your crowd perfectly:
  • The Front Bar: Ideal for larger functions, comfortably hosting between 40 to 70 guests.
  • The Intimate Room: A cozy, private pocket perfect for smaller work get-togethers or a ladies' high tea of 10 to 15 people.
Our spaces are available for hire Wednesday through Sunday. Booking a Christmas function? Get in early to avoid missing out!
