Mr Glen's Taphouse & Tapas is a bar and grill at 25 Argyle Street in Glenorchy, and it sits right next door to Mrs Glen's café. The bar pours eight New Zealand tap beers and a New Zealand wine list, with more than 200 spirits, including New Zealand spirits. Creative cocktails and tapas are on the menu, and the business calls its burgers the best in town. The café next door serves Bruno Rossi coffee, baked goods, pies and cabinet food, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. The website also mentions modern en-suite rooms available.
The two businesses are run by the same owners, so the café is a daytime stop and the tap house a social spot in the evening. Glenorchy is a small community at the head of Lake Wakatipu, and this pair of businesses is one of the few places in the village to eat and drink together. Our pick in Glenorchy for a burger and a New Zealand wine in the evening.
