Top Bars in Matakana, New Zealand

Awesome food, valve for money. Great service. Friendly staff.

Went for sons birthday. Food was great. Son loved curry special. Loved the steaks. Great portions. Bit of a drive from Auckland central but atmosphere made up for long drive.

We had an amazing dining experience! The food was absolutely fantastic, and the service was top-notch. Every dish was so delicious that my plate was cleared in no time. The atmosphere added to the enjoyment, making the evening truly memorable. We can't get enough of this place and will definitely be back for more!

A great spot to pop in, have a few bevies while enjoying some pub food.
I would have given them a 5 ….except the pork belly was mediocre. No crispy crackling, just reheated on a grill, which turned it dry and gave the skin a burnt flavor.
Service was good, atmosphere great.

Beautiful food & drinks, great staff, amazing atmosphere!

love the service these guys provide. their friendliness and kindness makes me come back here every time i come near Matakana. will definitely visit more in future for sure. Too bad i don't have the steaks pic but that would make anyone droll. fish and chips is another thing that can make anyone to fall in love with the chef.

Fantastic food and service! My partner and I had the Chilli Garlic Prawns and Caesar salad. Both were delicious! We will be back to try the linguine 😊

Delicious food. Big portions. Great outdoor seating options.
My group had the tacos, loaded fries, chili prawns, ceaser salad and chicken parmigiano

Just had an incredible cocktail at the vintry - if you like tequila try this for sure. melon baby: tequila, jalapeno, melon, lime. It wasn't hot spicy, but a perfect blend with the lime and melon. Best cocktail I've had in years (and I've had a few)

Fab evening here to celebrate my husbands birthday! Food was fantastic, and the bar has such a lovely atmosphere. There was live music on which we loved.

Me and my buddy are regular here and this place never fails to surprise us. Weekends or weekdays, rest assured that you will well looked after. In our case we were attended by Kelly and though we reached a little before the closing, we were not rushed at all and took our own sweet time to finish the dinner. The food is always great here and so is their bar...plus there is a guitar kept right next to the fireplace which is always perfectly tuned!!!Perfect setting for a perfect dinner!
Their service will definitely have you coming back again and again. 7 stars!!!

We arrived 15 minutes after they opened on a Friday afternoon and were the only patrons. We were not greeted by the bartender, so we wandered out to the deck. After settling in and waiting for several more minutes, it became apparent that there was no table service. So we went back inside and inquired if they had a wine menu. The bartender rudely nodded his head towards a board with white plastic letters listing the wines and offered no other information, nor a single word. So much for my hopes of learning a bit about the wines and doing a tasting! My friend from overseas suggested we go somewhere else, and I was mortified, as I’ve been bragging about how friendly Kiwis are. I wanted to politely excuse ourselves, but they bartender grabbed a box and walked out on us, without even making eye contact. You never know what people are going through to make them act they way they do, but perhaps it would be better to stay home for the day or find a different line of work that better suits you if this is how you treat customers. The deck and ambiance were nice, so it could have had potential, but absolutely the worst service of any place I’ve ever visited!

A must go spot for anyone who visits Matakana and loves wine and of course food! These guys stock quite a range of wines from different wineries of Matakana. This place had a wonderful ambience with wood fire. Got to taste 12 wines and then go down to the restaurant to have dinner. The staff is very well mannered and the food is amazing! Kudos team!

An amazing place!! Cozy and comfortable with an amazing selection of local wines. They offer a great selection of food from the Matakana Country Kitchen restaurant downstairs as well. A highly recommended drink/eat!!!

Really nice cozy bar, lovely indoor and outdoor (balcony) seating. Clean, friendly staff, apart from drinks also a good selection of affordable food!

In the hands of new owners for the past two-three years, so the review from 7 years ago which is giving the vintry a bit of a bad average should be ignored.

Excellent service and tasty, affordable food. Indoor and outdoor areas are warm, clean and well decorated. The perfect place to get tapas and wine before or after a movie.
