Tuatara Tap Room is a bar right next to Tuatara Brewery, in Brewtown at 23 Blenheim Street in Maidstone, Upper Hutt. Its beers are poured fresh from the brewery, and the menu includes bold bites and dumplings, which the website says are worth the drive.
It is part of the Star Group of hospitality venues, which includes more than 50 bars, pubs and restaurants across the North Island, and guests can earn $1 back for every $10 spent through the Star Social rewards programme. On Open Locally, The Glass House Bar, 0.6 km away, is the only other bar within a kilometre.
