An Award Winning Kitchen
Seasonal, considered food with enough character to stand beside the music.
.
The Tahi Bar + Kitchen is a place people come to spend time.
Tucked down an alley in Warkworth, we’ve shaped The Tahi around the things that make people look up from their phones: proper food, live music, shared tables, good conversation, and no TVs pulling attention away.
The kitchen gives people a reason to arrive early. The playlists carry the place through the week. Every weekend, the stage brings people together — locals, visitors, regulars, first-timers, musicians, families, old friends, and people making new ones.
Named New Zealand’s Best Entertainment Venue, a two-time Top 50 NZ Gastropub, and 2026 finalists for both Best Entertainment Venue and Best Local, The Tahi has become more than a bar. It’s one of the places Warkworth gathers.
Games at The Tahi
Not every good night needs a stage.
A drink on the table, something to play, and time to settle in.
Whether you’re waiting for the music, winding down after it, or just here for a quieter kind of evening, there’s always something within reach.
Thursday Poker Club
Thursday nights at The Tahi have their own rhythm.
The tables come out, the cards get dealt, and the room settles into something focused, social, and quietly competitive.
Hosted by the Warkworth Poker Club, it’s open to everyone — from first-timers to regular players.
Thursdays from 6:45pm · $20 buy-in
No TVs. Just cards, conversation, and a good place to be on a Thursday night.
