Beach Club Oyster & Kitchen

About Beach Club Oyster & Kitchen

Beach Club Oyster & Kitchen sits on Orakei Road in Remuera, close to the water it takes its name from. It runs as an all-day operation - open for breakfast and day dining, then shifting into a full dinner and cocktail service - built around a raw bar and a kitchen that leans heavily on seafood.

The oyster bar is the centrepiece, with freshly shucked oysters served natural or battered, and staff on hand to talk through whichever oysters are on that day. The wider menu pairs seafood dishes like the Coastal Seafood Salad, BC Fish & Chips and Vongole & Mussel Linguine with brunch classics such as Bacon and Salmon Benedict, plus heartier plates like Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri and Miso Braised Beef Cheek on the dinner menu.

Drinks get equal billing, with a full cocktail list split between classics and Beach Club's own signature creations, a wine list built around New Zealand regions like Marlborough, Central Otago and Hawke's Bay, and a weekly wine tasting flight available until 5:30pm. A kids menu covers bolognese and fish and chips for younger diners.

Beach Club is closed Mondays, open from mid-afternoon through to late Tuesday to Friday, and from 9am till late over the weekend for those wanting an all-day sitting.

Beach Club Oyster & Kitchen: Oysters, Cocktails and All-Day Dining in Remuera

On Orakei Road in Remuera, Beach Club Oyster & Kitchen runs the kind of all-day format that suits a spot close to the water - brunch and day dining that rolls into dinner, cocktails and a proper wine list, built around a raw bar at its centre.

An Oyster Bar at the Core

The menu opens with the oyster bar. Oysters are freshly shucked and can be ordered natural, served with a kaffir lime, lemongrass and shallot mignonette, or lightly battered and served with garlic aioli. Rather than a fixed selection, the oysters change - staff are on hand to talk through whatever's on that day, sold individually with a minimum order or by the half or full dozen.

Brunch Through to Dinner

The day menu covers the brunch basics done well: eggs on toast with a choice of bacon, cold smoked salmon, mushroom or tomato, alongside a Bacon Benedict and Salmon Benedict, both built on an English muffin with poached egg and hollandaise. The Coastal Seafood Salad - prawn, squid, radicchio and a chipotle dressing - and Club Made Hummus, marked vegan on the menu, round out the lighter options.

As the day turns to dinner, the kitchen shifts toward heavier, more composed plates. Fish with Dashi Broth, Pork Belly Taco with blueberry sauce, and Miso Braised Beef Cheek all sit on the dinner menu, alongside a Smoked Miso Eggplant for a vegetarian option. Dishes that run across both menus - the Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri, Vongole & Mussel Linguine, BC Fish & Chips, Korean Fried Chicken and Crispy Chicken & Waffle - anchor the kitchen's output through the day.

Drinks Built to Match

The cocktail list splits into classics - Negroni, Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, Margarita and the rest of the standard bar canon - and Beach Club's own signature drinks, including the Orakei Mojito with lemongrass and chilli, and the Hermes Sour built on vodka and passionfruit. The wine list leans into New Zealand, with bottles and glasses from Marlborough, Central Otago, Hawke's Bay, Waiheke Island and North Canterbury, plus a rotating wine tasting flight of two whites and two reds available until 5:30pm.

Something for the Kids

A short kids menu - bolognese pasta and fish and chips - means the all-day format extends to families as well as the cocktail crowd, without pulling focus from the main menu.

When It's Open

Beach Club is closed on Mondays. From Tuesday to Friday it opens from 4:30pm through to late, geared toward dinner and evening drinks. Over the weekend, hours shift earlier, opening from 9am until late on both Saturday and Sunday - covering brunch, day drinking and dinner in one long sitting.
