Occupying a generous site in a
commercial and residential area on the city fringe, Cardrona Speight’s Ale
House sits in view of Mt Eden, and only minutes away from all major motorways
and transport hubs. We have extensive off-street car parking adjacent to the
building.
Central Otago landscaping and an expansive deck area warmed by a
large schist fire place, greet our guests on arrival. The outdoor tables and
bench seats are perfect for groups, accommodating up to 15 guests at the one
table.
Commanding all day sunshine, sitting out here under the umbrellas, is
a wonderful way to have lunch, and idle away the afternoon.
Within the
weatherboard façade, a second large copper and schist fire place, sits
amongst displays of our southern heritage, including historical artefacts and
anecdotes from the Speight’s Brewery in Dunedin.
A long bar harking back to
taverns of old provides the full Speight’s range of draft beers. A large
variety of our best local wines, spirits, liqueurs and imported beers are
also on offer. Free live entertainment, trivia quiz nights and live sports action are provided weekly.
Beyond our bar
lies our restaurant, providing lunch and dinner 7 days a week, with brunch
available Saturday and Sunday. Our dark wooden furniture accommodates up 100
guests between schist walls with more historical displays. Groups of up to 20
can be seated at a single table, making us a popular venue for corporate
lunches and large family groups. Our menu is sourced from local produce to
supply delicious meals in generous proportions to satisfy the heartiest
appetites.
The &BAR sits beside our
restaurant with covered and outdoor seating. With its own private bar, the &BAR is a fantastic venue for any event.
