Five Venues, Five Personalities

Two Thumb's original brew bar is on Manchester St in the central city, known for festivals, private events and live music. The Colombo St venue is the brewery itself, with a beer garden in central Ōtautahi where you can grab a pint fresh from the source. Out at Diamond Harbour, the Harbourside venue offers a cold pint and great food on the peninsula, just half an hour from town. In Rolleston, the brewery's newest local pours craft beer for the growing Rolleston community, while the Redcliffs venue sits by the sea — the perfect spot for a cold brew on a summer's day.

Food to Match the Beer

Each Two Thumb brew bar serves its own food menu, with dishes bursting with flavour and inspired by the local area around each venue. Menus vary by location, so it's worth checking the specific venue you're planning to visit.
