Delicious burgers and friendly staff! We went on a trivia night, and although we arrived too late to participate, we had a great time trying to guess the answers. Also appreciated the diverse drink menu. There were lots of things to try, and our waiter was easily able to give us recommendations based on what we liked.

We arrived late afternoon in Auckland and had to meave early the next day so didn't want the added hassle of bookings, dressing up etc. This was a great spot to drop in, try some local beers and get some quick pub food with no fuss. I had the fish and chips and enjoyed the addition of "mushy peas" and my husband enjoyed the chicken burger a lot

Great selection of NZ beers and excellent fish and chips in an historic building on the waterfront was exactly what we had hoped to find. We had on,y one day in Auckland and Brew made the best of it! Very highly recommended.

I dont like to to bag a place, especially after Covid, but Brew on Quay was a big disappointment. I ordered Fish and Chips, which is hardly rocket science the fish was way overdone and as for the chips well what few appeared on my plate, were hollow, to say the least. I will say the mushy peas were top class though. The wife ordered the Chicken pie and on first impressions, it looked great, then once she took the pastry top off it was basically Chicken soup! Regarding the chips, they had no malt vinegar. Very disappointed with the food, but I will say all the service staff were very friendly.

We were having a lunch before an event on Sunday, our family sat right next to a cashier machine, next to the door. A waiter keeps on talking about other customers to another waiter, like make sure that lady who's in the bathroom pays, and other stuff. Makes us feel uncomfortable. My husband and I had to leave early as our show was about to start. My daughter and son stayed cause they haven't finish with their lunches. After we left, my daughter told me that the same waiter kept on asking them when they're going to leave, and starting to get rude. They leave as soon as they could and feeling very hurt. We are paying customers and for someone working in hospitality business, this behavior is very unprofessional. Shame though as the food was actually very good.

My wife and I had a great visit to New Zealand in November and December, starting and finishing in Auckland. On our first evening we discovered Brew on Quay and were immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere created by the staff. We decided to stay and eat and had a really tasty fish and chips. So, when we returned to Auckland - having been all over North and South Islands - we headed straight back here for our last night. We were not disappointed by our second visit! Good food, good beer, good atmosphere and super staff. Brendan - you and your team do a great job of running a top pub. Thank you, from a couple of Scots who also enjoyed everything New Zealand has to offer.

Love this place for its atmosphere and selection of beers. We were hungry and decided to share the korean pork hawker roll. Very disappointed. It was served not as a roll but as a salad, filled with bean sprouts mainly. Very hard to find the pork, little cucumber and thick slices of kimchi. Not a great experience sadly. Fries were nice

Came for lunch and the food was great. Staff were super friendly and the pub has plenty of seating choices both inside and out.
The cricket was on and there were heaps of craft beers to choose from - on tap and in the fridge.
Great spot in Auckland

This was one of my husband and I's favorite beer stops in Auckland. They had some delightful selections as well as a full bar for those not interested in beer. The inside had a very European pub feel to it, which we enjoyed. The pot pies (which they had a deal for 1 pint and 1 pie) looked amazing- huge and fresh, but unfortunately we didn't have any meals here.
Even if you only have time for a quick drink, stop in and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. They even have a table or two outside for a beautiful day. Make sure you read the historical plaque on the building by the side entrance. Pretty neat

After a very long day of flying and fairly late for dinner on a mid-week evening, we stumbled into this place based just on its appearance (and the fact that it was still open and had customers).
I had a look at the beer and cider list, and was a bit (OK, a lot) shocked at the prices for some of the more exotic ones, so I settled for a more mundane cider. After we sat down, it took a while for the waitress to find us, but the service was great from then on. My friend had a burger, and I had some really great bangers and mash.
When I return to Auckland, I'll be looking forward to eating here again.

Under level 2 I find it difficult to comprehend that servers aren't aware they actually need to serve you. We were seated at a table outside but for 7 of us got 1 drinks menu. Finally our order was taken then waited 10 mins for our drinks to arrive with one missing. Had to ask for more drinks. We were one table of a possible 3 tables occupied and at least 4 staff that we saw and yet the table beside us had to go in to get drinks and the service to our table was bad! Wouldn't be jumping to go back. Apparently the cocktails were weak and only 5 to choose from. Disappointing start to our evening.

It was after work when my colleagues and I visited for a post day de-brief. The rooftop seating area we glimpsed from the street was very tempting, but sadly full when we arrived.
Not deterred we found some room to sit outside on the long table on the street. It was a great atmosphere and the table service was swift and efficient.
We ordered a round of drinks - local red and some of the great beers on tap after one of the crew asked for a sample - which was happily provided.
Dinner was great also, wagu burgers all round, which arrived quickly after ordering.
Great location, and would definitely be a go to the next visit.

the point of this bar was wide choices and wide range of beers, though the decor and setup were nice too.
I used to love this place and visit every time I was staying in Auckland, the choice of beers that you couldn't get elsewhere, the meals (simple/traditional pub fare but good) and the staff friendly and helpful.
Sadly have noticed that the initial wide choices in beers have reduced and on the latest visit that it has gone a long way downhill, no sign of beer menu listings (used to be a veritable folder of choices), little apart from the usual NZ suspects on tap or in the fridge. And dont get me started on the staff who preferred to yarn to their regulars rather than serve new faces.

Hi Steve, this is Brendan from Brew on Quay. Thanks for leaving us a review. Unfortunately, due to issues with availability and supply, we haven't always been able to maintain our varied selection of beers from New Zealand around the world over the last 2 years, but we're working hard to get these beers back in stock. Hopefully, the next time you're in Auckland, we'll have a world of selection for you in our beer menu. We pride ourselves on our selection of beers, and our service, and I'm very sorry if these were not up to the usual standards we hold ourselves to. We hope to see you again soon. All the best, Brendan from Brew.

Typical pub style, a bit off-side to CBD proper but not far. The food was served fast and we ordered our drinks at the bar. We had fish and chips and a caesar salad. The price was okay but we may not come back again. Nothing specifically was wrong but the place just did not click with us.

I was there prior to Tool's concert and the place was packed with thirsty fans. The ambiance was awesome, as they played all metal songs, and staff were legends working under a very fast pace. Excellent beers on draft.
