Housed in the heritage-listed Scenic Circle Southern Cross hotel building, Grand Casino combines classic table gaming with full-service dining right in the heart of Dunedin. Its on-site venue, the Grand Bar & Restaurant, serves contemporary New Zealand cuisine alongside an à la carte menu of Kiwi classics and seasonal dishes. On Tuesdays, they run a special with any meal from the Classics Menu priced at $15 (as at 2026). Beyond dining, the gaming floor features over 150 electronic gaming machines alongside live tables for Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and Caribbean Stud Poker, complete with afternoon happy hour tables offering lowered limits Monday through Thursday.
The setting brings an old-world architectural presence to a night out, functioning as both an event space for functions and a central spot for an evening meal paired with live entertainment. You will find it on High Street in Central Dunedin, open every day of the year except Good Friday and Christmas Day, with the restaurant opening daily for lunch from 12 pm.
