The Wakatipu Alehouse

Town CentreQueenstown

8.1

The pub where ski patrol drinks, which is the only endorsement Queenstown hospitality needs. Central Otago taps rotate weekly, the venison-and-cheddar pie is a load-bearing menu item, and nobody minds your wet gear. It gets rammed from 4pm in ski season and the kitchen can lag forty minutes — order food with your first pint, not your second.

Order this

  • Venison and cheddar pie
  • Beer-battered blue cod
  • Central Otago pale ale

The dishes reviewers keep coming back for. Ordering off-list is on you.
