We stopped in for some after dinner drinks, the cocktails were fabulous, reasonably priced and the team here just wonderful. We received a very warm greeting and received brilliant service all night. The friendliest bar we have been to in Auckland.

I had lunch at here with a friend and made the most of their 30 special, which includes a meal and dessert.We sampled the beef and chicken burgers, both of which were excellent, and enjoyed the tiramisu and sticky pudding for dessert.The vintage decor gives the place a charming, old-time feel. Friendly service and great value make this spot worth a visit

We went here for a drink and a quick bite.This is the oldest pub around.The owners served and cooked for us. They were very knowledgeable and friendly.The drinks were excellent, and we ordered their fries. They were to die for. Cooked well with the skin on, so a little crunchy, making them delicious.They have photos and history all over the walls, so it's great to walk around and have a look.I definitely recommend trying this place.

Delicious food, super nice service, a nice stop to refresh before moving on to your next destination I can’t remember the name of the cocktail, but it’s so refreshing!Great job @The Queen's Ferry!
