Latitude 37

About Latitude 37

Latitude 37 sits on Maunganui Road in the vibrant heart of Mount Maunganui, trading on a phrase it wears well: laid-back sophistication. Step inside and you'll find a set of stunning social spaces built for lingering — whether that's over carefully crafted cuisine, a fresh beverage at the bar, or an afternoon of live sport with friends.

The kitchen has earned a reputation for award-winning food, with a menu that ranges from share-friendly small plates (ika mata, venison tataki, truffle mushroom arancini) to chargrilled NZ lamb and Angus beef, fresh market fish, burgers and indulgent desserts. The bar keeps pace with signature cocktails, a long line-up of New Zealand wine, local taps and thoughtful non-alcoholic serves.

There's always something on: live sport screens every day, music events like Latitude's Little Jam roll through regularly, and the venue hosts winemaker evenings and other one-offs. Function spaces with tailored food and beverage packages — plus free event planning — make it a easy pick for celebrations. Latitude 37 is part of Star Group's family of 50+ venues across Aotearoa, so Star Social members earn rewards on every visit.

Latitude 37 Mount Maunganui: Award-Winning Food, Cocktails and Live Sport on Maunganui Road

On Maunganui Road, in the vibrant heart of Mount Maunganui, Latitude 37 pairs a relaxed Bay beach-town mood with a level of polish you usually have to go looking for. The team calls it laid-back sophistication, and the room backs it up: a set of stunning social spaces where you can settle in for carefully crafted cuisine, a fresh beverage at the bar, or a full afternoon of live sport.

Part of Star Group — one of Aotearoa's largest hospitality operators, with more than 50 bars, pubs and restaurants across the North Island — Latitude 37 has picked up recognition for its award-winning food along the way. But nothing about the place feels formal. It's the kind of room that works equally well for a long lunch, a milestone dinner or a casual night that turns into a late one.

What's on the plate

The menu is built for grazing as much as feasting. Small plates cover serious ground: ika mata with coconut and lime dressing and crispy kumara matchsticks, venison tataki with pickled blackberries, truffle mushroom arancini, burrata with thyme honey and hazelnuts, and a duck pâté that comes with cider-braised apple chutney and pork crackling. For the table, the Latitude 37 Platter gathers the best of the snack list onto one board.

Large plates lean into fresh New Zealand produce — the market fish changes with the line-caught catch, green-lip mussels arrive steamed in garlic and caper cream, and the twice-cooked pork belly with five-spice caramel and kumara mash is a standout. The chargrill handles the big appetites with NZ lamb rump and Angus eye-fillet and ribeye, while a tight burger line-up — including a plant-based Impossible Burger — covers the classics. Save room for the chocolate cookie skillet or the coconut mousse with thyme berries.

The bar knows its business

Cocktails run from the dependable Espresso Martini to the house-twisted Mochaccino Old Fashioned, made with house-made coffee liqueur, plus a Guava Mai Tai, a Limoncello Marg and a rotating roster of cocktails on tap. Beer drinkers get the Monteith's range, Heineken, a rotating local guest tap and low-alcohol options from Garage Project and Mount Brewing Co. The wine list digs deep into New Zealand — Marlborough sauvignon blanc, Central Otago pinot noir, Waiheke Island blends from Man O' War — alongside French champagne, and closes with dessert wine, single malts and cognacs. Non-drinkers are well looked after with zero-proof cocktails like the Salted Coconut Daiquiri.

Sport, music and reasons to linger

Live sport screens at Latitude every day, making it a reliable home base for the big games. The events calendar adds more reasons to show up: Latitude's Little Jam brings live music sessions to the room, and winemaker evenings — such as a Meet the Winemaker with Craggy Range — offer a guided dive into the wine list. Doors open at midday daily, with Thursday running later and Friday and Saturday nights stretching to 1am.

Functions, rewards and the practical stuff

Planning something bigger? Latitude 37 offers function spaces with tailored food and beverage packages and free event planning services, covering everything from casual gatherings to proper celebrations. And if you visit often, it's worth joining Star Group's Star Social rewards programme — free to sign up, it gives members $1 back for every $10 spent, with deals that work across the group's 50-plus venues nationwide.

Between the kitchen's award-winning output, a bar that takes both cocktails and wine seriously, and a calendar stacked with sport and live music, Latitude 37 has quietly become one of Mount Maunganui's most dependable all-rounders. Come for dinner, stay for the jam, and don't be surprised if you're still there at midnight.
