The Courtyard Bar

Good place to have a drink and play a poker machine. Good people around. Bar finger food available. Always a good host. Good place to go and hang around with locals

Friendly hosts will always great you, good atmosphere a good kiwi bar which is hard to find these days. Decent amount of pool tables and their music is always worth a good sing along

Updated review: I've increased the rating from previous. The staff are friendly, the vibe was chill and the place was so clean. Amazing improvements.

The management took good advantage of the lockdown periods . . .ie: new carpets throughout, new modern bar and pumping stations! Lowest prices in Auckland! Buy two discounts! Recently they again increased the bar prices, canceling the specials! Management getting too greedy, charging over 500% mark up Profit on bottled beers. Charging City prices for suburban pub, but don't supply the ambiance that city pubs do!It's advertised as a sports Bar TV's never have sound on for sporting fixtures, background music all repeat recorded music playing over and over, at too high volume for customers to have conversations. Toilets still have entry door wedged open to ventilate bad odours, needs drains fixing and a ventilation fan! It is now just a Pokie machine gaming bar . . . A real pity to see the demise of a historic popular pub!

Love it , great ppl

Oh the infamous "GI Pub"; a favourite haunt of some of my mates. It's the local spot for sure; definitely don't feel like outsiders would go out of their way to come here, but for those here, it seems like the kind of place where you'd get to know the regulars. 2 pool tables and pokeys for entertainment other than the basic taps and lion reds. It serves it's purpose.

We had a great time at the courtyard bar celebrating mother day thanks to the staff and friends who made it possible

It was a good Friday nite at the old pub. Go with good company. Music ole skool atmosphere cheerful people well behaved.

Good place to have a beer and just chill. Guys behind the bar are awesome

Great music, no trouble, awesome bar staff and I will be returning.
