A good pub is easy to settle into: a welcoming bar, staff who can tell you what is on tap, and a room that suits a quiet drink or a meal. If you are choosing one, look at the tap list for local New Zealand beer and the wine list for regional options, and check whether food is served and until what time. Pubs attached to accommodation often suit travellers, so it is worth asking whether you need to book a table, especially at weekends and during holiday periods. Regulars know early evening is the easiest time to find a seat. If you are driving, stick to a non-alcoholic drink, and a good pub will make that easy.
For people in Western Heights and around Rotorua, this is a local place to stop for a drink or a meal.
