This is where we started our first night out in Queenstown. Its small, its crazy, its fun but it gets a little to cramped up in some time. No space to even stand & I bet you wont be able to dance without spilling some of your drink here.

Hi Ash,
Thank you for your review. We are a small, crazy and fun little bar, and that is the essence of most of the positive customer experiences. There is definitely room to dance and plenty of interesting people to meet at the bar. It is an extrovert's paradise, so load up the car and get on down for another boogie;)
Cheers,

Eggnog shooters are to die for. Great staff, good vibe and plenty on offer. Only let down was the poutine, took way too long to receive our order and it was not poutine, just chips a tiny bit of gravy and grated cheese :(

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the 5 stars!
Sorry the poutine was a let down, we did tweak the recipe to get it just right... Glad the eggnog shooters made up for it ;)
Love from the Rhino's fam x

The hot buttered rum was worth trying, and the hot apple rum was also good to drink on a cold night. The place had a good vibe, with board games and cards on the table for you to entertain yourself with. It is a small bar with not too many tables, so it's quite a cosy environment.

I came here for the first time recently, not long after entering, a drunk girl on someone's shoulders dropped a glass onto my face causing my front tooth the break. I was understandably distressed by this and when my friend went to find the manager he just looked at me and walked off. Then the bouncer made us leave the premises. Not only did they not make any attempt to ask the girl to leave they showed absolutely no compassion whatsoever to me.

The night itself was decent but unfortunately some very drunk girl was on someone's shoulders and dropped a glass on my friends face, which resulted in her chipping her front teeth. Rhinos dealt with this extremely bad, I went and got the manager who came out looked at us and walked away, he didn't ask if we were ok, if we needed any help or even offered a glass of water. My friend was understandably crying, and the security guard came over and made us leave as we were 'in the fire exit' they were extremely rude, not to mention they didn't stop someone having a shoulder ride in a very packed club. Wouldn't recommend this place

To be fair, we probably aren't the target market for Rhino's. (Read...too old!) However, we went in lured by the promotion of their pizzas in the mall. It's a quirky place, the girls behind the bar were friendly and they had pretty cool videos playing.
The pizzas weren't great at all and took forever to arrive.
On reflection though, I'm sure it's a great noisy, buzzy place to go for a few drinks, but there are plenty of other venues to eat.

Hi there Juninho-NZ,
Sorry to hear you were disappointed by the lack of pizza, but unfortunately we have not served pizzas for over 3x years now. Not sure where you saw that we served pizzas, as they haven't been available outside of private events for years. Our bar/restaurant has evolved a lot over the last 4x years and are currently more of a late-night destination. Sorry you caught us during this transition! We hope you can come back and see what our busy late-night fun is all about.
Cheers,
The Rhino's Ski Shack Crew

We came down here on Tuesday night to participate in the pub quiz. Got in at about 6pm and it was already pretty full of people and a good vibe. They were a bit short on seating for the amount of tables but by the time the quiz started at about 7:10 most people were standing anyway. The night rocked on with an awesome quiz host keeping everyone entertained and it’s a good system with the quiz app rather than paper. Beers were good and only $5! Great night and awesome atmosphere in the place! Will definitely be back! Would recommend getting there before 6 to guarantee a table if you’re going for the quiz!

We were told about this place by a mate. Worth the stop in. It's a great little place small but lots of charm. 5 buck beers
