The Brit Pub & Eatery calls itself the social anchor for Britomart, on the water. It's built for catching up with mates over a beer or a cocktail, chilling with the work crowd over a table that doubles as a meeting spot, or settling in for a big day of live sport across its many screens. The bar team pours local brews, wine and a solid top-shelf selection, alongside a food menu the pub describes simply as having 'taste'.
The Brit runs a regular lineup of weekly events: Steak Night every Wednesday from 6pm, 2-for-1 Pizza Night every Monday from 6pm, a Friday DJ from 4-8pm, live sports screenings, and a live band on Saturdays from 8pm with free entry. Function spaces are also available for bookings, with a dedicated function pack and contact for enquiries.
The Brit Pub & Eatery sits on Quay Street, describing itself as the social anchor for Britomart, on the water. It's pitched as the kind of place that works for almost any occasion - a beer with mates, cocktails with the girls, a work catch-up with a table that doubles as a meeting spot, or a big day watching live sport across a wall of screens.
The Brit's bar team pours local brews, wine and a solid top-shelf spirits selection, while the kitchen keeps things simple - food the pub describes as having genuine 'taste' rather than overcomplicated plates. The menu covers pub classics and modern additions, including a smashed wagyu burger, 'Brit Hot' fried chicken, chicken nachos, cheesy cauliflower bites, prawn tacos, and a long-running favourite called Lucky in Kentucky. Cocktails get equal attention, with house drinks like the Pommie Sours - made with Wild Turkey, pomegranate, lemon, bitters and egg white - alongside the Brit Spritz, Wild Spritz and Blood Orange Fizz.
The Brit runs a regular calendar that gives regulars a reason to come back on a specific night. Steak Night lands every Wednesday from 6pm, serving a 250g Angus rump steak with crispy shoestring fries and housemade jus, with a choice of four sauces to add on. Pizza Night runs every Monday from 6pm with a 2-for-1 deal on the pub's pizza range, dine-in only.
Fridays bring a DJ set from 4 to 8pm, easing the transition from clock-off into the weekend. Saturdays shift into live band territory, with music starting at 8pm and free entry. Live sport is a constant thread throughout - whatever the fixture, The Brit aims to have a good seat and a screen showing it, and will try to source specific games on request.
Beyond regular service, The Brit offers dedicated function spaces, with a function pack available and a direct contact for enquiries. Table bookings for up to 10 people can be made online; larger groups of 11 or more are handled by email.
The Brit Pub & Eatery is open every day of the week, from 11:30am until late. It's located at 122 Quay Street in Auckland CBD, right on Britomart's waterfront.
For anyone in Britomart after a genuine local pub feel - good food, a proper drinks list, live sport, and a packed weekly events calendar - The Brit positions itself as the place that becomes 'your place' the moment you walk in.
