Our favourite establishment is The Tahi Bar & Kitchen. Straddling a laneway, this hip nook wouldn't be out of place in inner-city Melbourne and yet it offers the most quintessentially Warkworth experience of all. In fact, "local" is the obsession here.

Great beer, great food, great staff. I love this place! A great range of craft beers, great food (chicken wings are superb), lovely staff. Very relaxed vibe, they support local brewers, local wineries, local food outlets, and local bands (great live music nights!). Great place to just chill out after work in the beer garden.

I highly recommend the Tahi Bar for any band or discerning music lover, as a performer or audience member. I am so pleased that we have possibly the best bar in NZ, right here in Warkworth!

A cosy gastropub with fantastic live music A fabulous local pub where the decor is steampunk meets guitar hero. The food is delicious and affordable. There is also an impressive selection of games if you feel like playing, and a collection of unique guitars on display.

Nestled in the corner is a gem that is packed with great tasting food, a genuine, welcoming vibe, and an impressive collection of craft and regular brews alike. Occasionally, you may be blessed with some live entertainment as well. A great place for a night out or a simple after work drink.

Every time I pass through Warkworth I stop here for a beer. It's always got a great rotating tap selection and the service is always really friendly. The owners obviously have a lot of passion for their establishment and for the product they serve and the live entertainment is always extremely good.

Friendly, tasty, warm and real. Came here as a family of five on the offchance for kai, had wings and burgers, drank wine and beer- super delicious (my dad who never compliments food said ‘perfect’) high praise indeed! Funny & massive games selection, real staff and good tunes. Thanks a lot. Kia ora.

Enjoyed a fantastic burger and great vibes at Tahi Bar in Warkworth! The staff's exceptional service made me feel truly welcome. It has a lovely local feel, perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. The live band added to the lively atmosphere without being too loud. Highly recommend.
