Bring your takeaway and enjoy dinner with a drink and an amazing view on the lake. We brought our Fergburger takeaway over, got a beer and a wine and enjoyed a fabulous dinner at dusk. Servers very friendly, great concept with so many takeaway options!

We always go here when when visit Queenstown. Fantastic staff who really look after you. The Mulled wine in the winter is a must.

What a unusual and unique little bar, I mean boat, no bar, no both. Moored at the dock you walk on and enjoy yourself. BYO food which some people had their Fergburgers. We had completed a local beer tour with local guy Lewis. Make sure...you jump onto his site and book, and so back at the wharf walked on board for a non beer tipple, for me anyway. The 3 of us stood on the bow of the boat with our drinks and were kept company with 2 young ladies from Canada. Great view onto the lake watching the Earnslaw return, para sailing, the shark submersibles and the jet boats coming and going. Very good place to stop in for a few before moving further on.More

Popped on for a pint of a sunny afternoon. To watch the world go by. They had the heaters on so it was perfect in the autumn afternoon. Definitely worth a visit.

Having had Dinner nearby, we heard alot about this quirky floating bar, it did not disappoint, decent cocktails at a decent price, great fun and the shared tables encourage conversations with complete strangers. We had a blast!

Great place to have a drink and watch the crowd on the esplanade. Drinks are well priced and there is seating upstairs on the deck, a couple of bean bags if you want to veg out and seating downstairs under cover

Probably the best floating bar in New Zealand. A great place with great staff and great views. A lovely atmosphere and the perfect venue for a drink and a get together with friends.

Such an awesome spot to enjoy sitting in the bay, taking in the incredible views of Queenstown, and enjoying a cocktail, there was music going on the grass area so it was the perfect spot to sit up top and enjoy the glorious weather. Drinks...weren’t too expensive either which was nice, cheers 🥂More

We have walked passed this boat which has a permanent mooring and is a bar and it has been too busy to enter. We visited today at 3pm and it was not busy yet so sat on the rooftop which is open air and enjoyed...a beer. No food served but you are welcome to bring your own food. The views 360 degrees are great. One of the better places to enjoy a drink.More

Such a great little find, in amongst the noise expensive Queenstown, you find a floating oasis with good chat and service. Even when a bunch of noisy bricks turned up and stripped off and I've been to the water they were certainly asked to leave...to return back to the serenity. Hats off to the owners such a great place to chill and relax and importantly BYO food. Such a good idea in such a financially expensive town.More
