Top choice in Coromandel Peninsula


Home base for the Coromandel Brewing Company, this pub and bistro regularly features about five of its own beers in a modern ambience. Hearty meat and seafood mains combine with decent pizzas in the beer garden. Team the Moroccan pizza with the Hahei Doctor American Pale Ale. Keep an eye out for occasional seasonal beers too.
