Kiwis and beer. Name a better duo.

For as long as we can (or can't) remember, beer has been a fundamental part of our lives. From sneaking a few sips from Dad's quartz back in the day, to the liberating taste of a cold one after a hard days work, Beer is just as kiwi as rugby.

We decided it's time we celebrate this golden nectar with $20 Monteith's Golden Jugs all May and June. So grab a mate, hop to it and get down to your local for some tasty kiwi beer thanks to our good mates over at Monteith's. Cheers!

Forget about the dingy backroom machine karaoke, experience what it’s like to be a rock star with your very own band.

Every Thursday during June, The Elephant Wrestler will be giving you the chance to live out your Rock star dreams with Live Band Karaoke, with songs from Alice Cooper to Post Malone, Diana Ross to Will Smith, headline your own show at the Elephant Wrestler.

Event starts from 8pm with beer and cocktail specials on the night.

And it's back! Our courtyard is once again popping-up into the ultimate Jack Daniel's BBQ Joint this Winter for The Big BBQ Joint.

Experience a taste of Tennessee every Sunday as The Elephant Wrestler, Jack Daniel's and Brothers Of The Grill bring some of New Zealand's top pit-master teams to our courtyard. Taste each teams unique interpretation of southern style BBQ ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket and more meaty-goodness!
