The Meeanee Hotel is a pub at 340 Meeanee Road in Meeanee, just outside Napier. Its website describes it as a spot in the heart of Meeanee for friends and family, with good beer, a menu of pub food and a lively atmosphere. Live music is on at weekends, with local Hawke's Bay artists.
The menu includes beer-battered fish of the day with fries, a grilled porterhouse on a flame-baked Turkish panini, lamb's fry with onion gravy on mash, and pan-fried prawns with honey mustard dressing. There is also a cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and fries. Our view is that it is a good local choice for a relaxed meal and a drink in Meeanee, especially if you want a bit of live music on a weekend.
