Wairau Sports Bar is a sports bar on View Rd in Glenfield, North Shore City, Auckland, with a 4.3 Google rating from its customers.
Sports bars live and die by two things: how many screens they have and whether they will put your game on. A good one shows the big fixtures — All Blacks tests, Warriors nights, World Cup matches — with the sound up, and regulars know to arrive well before kick-off to claim a seat in sight of a screen. Quieter afternoons suit a pint and a catch-up, while derby days bring the crowd and the atmosphere with them. When choosing between sports bars, check which fixtures they screen and how the room copes when it fills; the best ones keep service moving right through to the final whistle.
For Glenfield locals after a proper game-watching spot, Wairau Sports Bar sits handy on the Shore.
