Description: An iconic bar and the perfect intimate venue to enjoy a true Queenstown experience... This sumptuous up-market venue is all about service, the huge open fire, knowledgeable staff and great music. Bardeaux’s extensive wine and cocktail menu only adds to the elegant ambience. The range of local Pinot’s is eclectic, backed up by a cellar of vintage wines and champagnes. This bar is sultry and seductive; sitting among all the party and dance bars. Bardeaux is a haven for those who want a night out with friends or a relaxing wine by the big fire after a day on the slopes!

Excellent atmosphere. Amazing range of drinks available, including cocktails and whiskies. Our bar person was able to rustle up a couple of "off menu" cocktails for us to try instead of what was being offered on the menu, which was also excellent. We have been there at quieter times - such as a Monday evening - and also when it is busier (pre CoVID). It never ceases to be the place we want to keep returning to when we go back to Queenstown.

Terrible. Walked in with around 25 people present, waited 15 minutes for a drink and eventually walked out. Bar staff ignored us, no eye contact, no acknowledgement that they would serve us. We went next door to Havana and were welcomed,

Really nice bar in middle of Queenstown with great ambience and excellent choice of wine and spirits especially whiskey. Unfortunately let down by bar staff not taking care of patrons. I’ve found this problem all over NZ. Bar staff need to look around and see what their punters need and not wait for them to get up or wave frantically. Sorry but that’s what service is all about.

6 of us had some beautiful wines and enjoyed the tranquil hospitality of Bardeaux. It's always so nice to sit by a real fire and warm your bones after a walk in the cold, fresh, Queenstown air.

Gorgeous bar with a lovely range of wines and whiskeys. Quite busy with lots of groups on the week night we were there. The one lovely bar staff was good natured and efficient but a few more hands would have helped.
