Went to a few places yesterday and this was the pick! Not only was the beer selection impressive but the young lady who served us knew her stuff and was extremely helpful. 10/10!

Don't miss this place the food is incredible. The service is good and the team will help you out with great service. We had many shared dishes, which were all fantastic. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food provided go early or book ahead.

We had a great time. The service was great. The barman knew his beer šŗ and we tried many. It's the first place I have been where there is a page to no to low alcohol beer as the drive this was great. The place to look at didn't stand out, and there was no beer list at the door, but inside on the wall, there were many. Due to the changing beer list, there is no point in doing a menu of beers available. It was lovely sitting in the sun watching the tram š go by.

Large selection of craft beers and a mulled wine that helps when it's freezing cold outside

An ideal spot for Friday after works drinks brought us to 16 Tun in Wynyard Quarter. Staff is fantastic and friendly and it was most impressive that they allow you to sample the craft beers and ale to help you choose.
The wine selection was very good to match the lively ambiance and diverse patronage. As the evening chilled set in we ordered some small sharing plates of pulled pork sliders and crispy spicy chicken bites and they were absolutely delicious, hitting the spot!
Craig Hitchen
Popped in for a beer and a quick feed. Fishburger and chips were great. Big selection of beers. Had a pilsner and a white IPA on tap. Delicious.
Mako Yamada
The best chicken wings Iāve had in townā¦. interesting selections of craft beer too!
Mary Binney
Excellent range of craft beer. Haven't tried the food.
Tim Warren
Is a great place at North wharf to get any and mini types of beer
Food is basic pub fare but goes well with the 50 to 100 beers that they have.
Jeffrey Billington
Beer beer beer and all great. Busy spot and nice on the small long outdoor area when the sun is shining. I enjoyed the sliders and my partner the very generous wings. We will be back to try 5 other different beers. It's a Freehouse by the way.
Rex Chen
Good place to have quick meal and sample their craft beer

Great accommodating staff member took time to find the right craft beer for us. Sunday night 8pm dinner when everything else on Wynyard court was not open for real food, they cooked my family of 4 a great meal. Food was tasty and fresh. Beer cold and interesting, thanks team for having your full menu available when you say you will. We will be back.

The beer taps change here so quickly that you could never get bored. Love my crafts and this is the holy grail for any craft lover. And 8 paddle with some jalepeno poppers (or 3) is a recipe for a great night.
Anastasia Matiatos
16 Tun damn you average. Been here a few times for dinner w the family and had an average experience. The food is just average pub food but the portion sizes are wayyyyy too big like damn son. Would recommend coming here if you hungry as hell haha! x

Good little place to catch up friends for a beer, was busy the night we were there and couldn't get a seat. Lots of beers on tap and service was speedy, good summertime spot.
Darren Big Belly
The first thing I thought when we walked in was... nobody gave a crap. No one showed us tables, told us to wait, or anything. We stood awkwardly for a good few minutes before someone spoke to us. <br/><br/>Anyway the food was okay. There were so many craft beers to choose from! Massive selection! <br/>We went for the crate of 8 and got spicy wings for free as a promotion.<br/>The fish and chips, fish sliders, and salad were decent. The fish and chips says it comes with chunky fries but for some reason it was just normal fries?<br/>Parts of the cheese board was quite good but the cheeses were a little dry.<br/><br/>Come for the beers.<br/><br/>Food: 3.5/5<br/>Service: 2.5/5<br/>Selection of craft beer: 5/5
Ben Ellison
Great atmosphere, and nice clean place to eat/drink with an impressive beer selection. We were put off by the waitstaff who were less than interested in our order. The food was ok, we had chips, chicken bites and ribs. The ribs were a bit of a let down as they did taste microwaved. I would only come back here for beer and chips.
Carlito Ramsay
Ordered food and 2 beers for me and my partner. The bill came to $85 which I was suspicious about so I asked for the break down of the bill. Came back that 1 beer was $38! The menu had no prices on but you wouldnāt think a beer would cost that much & the staff never mentioned this beer being ridiculously overpriced. Once the food came (Kiwi Burger & a chicken/avocado salad), my partner realized that they had forgotten to put the chicken in the salad. We asked the staff about it & they went and told the chef. They then walk over to us with a plate of precooked cold chicken & just place it next to the salad. They didnāt even take the dish back to the chef and we didnāt receive an apology from any of the staff members for their error. One staff member even had the audacity to recommend another place for me to go on the viaduct in future, rather than coming back here. Very poor experience overall, highly recommend not coming to this place.
Alysha Bower
I went here with a friend for dinner last night, the restaurant bar has a really cool warm vibe with plenty of seating for everyone. <br/><br/>My goodness the service from on waitress in particular was so bad! We asked her at the bar if it was table service or do we ordered at the bar and she told us to sit down. When she comes over she goes what do you want? No niceties nothing at all. So rude! I didn't catch her name but she was the only blonde working that night. Everyone else was really nice! <br/><br/>The food was amazing!! I had the lamb and my friend had the kiwi burger. Everything was super tasty, all components were cooked well and were delicious together. <br/><br/>Would definitely come back again if the blonde girl wasn't working, don't need to have bad service when there are plenty of other places to choose from.
Dany
Waiting 1 hour for your food, also your food is disappointed that i have ever seen before. I ordered 2 medium, 1 medium rare eye fillet then you guys give me the sh*t well done eye fillet, very small ( 200g eye fillet looks like 50g) and taste too dry + frozen . <br/>I also ordered scallops , calamari and rib pork . It tastes so bad and too expensive.<br/>Please change your head chef or do something to save your bar! <br/>Now i know that noone book your tables while all your nearly restaurants is full booking ! <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

This is definitely my kinda place to chill, doesn't seem to get as crowded as the surrounding tenants & that's just how I like it. Rustic wooded decor & steampunk lighting - I've got a soft spot for rhythm & blues / soul & that's exactly what they had going in the background. I ordered the ribs & hot wings, those ribs are really impressive, the marinade is a combination of sweet, tangy & spicy the meat was so tender and literally falling off the bone by the time the waiter brought it over to our table. The wings I think were marinated in the same sauce as the ribs - cooked to perfection. Portion wise they give you quite a decent amount of food & I was actually taken aback comparing the price to portion size - great value for money! Awesome place to down a few beers & demolish some good pub food. I think I'll be back this weekend ;)
The City Lane
16 Tun is one of Aucklandās best craft beer bars, with up to 100 different beers on offer at any given time across its 19 taps and fridges. 16 Tun prides itself on being a āFree Houseā, which means that there arenāt any tap contracts here and the venue is able to put on whatever beers it wants.

Went last Saturday arvo and we were pretty much the only people eating .. yet they still got my order wrong. I ordered the 'fancy fish and chips'. They forgot the fish and just served me shoe string fries. My friend ordered a smoked chicken salad that was missing cherry tomatoes, feta and cranberries. It looked like the ingredients had been chucked on the plate (half an Avo scooper not chopped). I could have done way better at home with cheap ingredients from countdown. After walking up to the bar to advise of the missing salad components and my wrong/missing order, out came the fish and chips with again shoe string fries and not the 'chunky chips' as shown on menu. The fish was ok and they bought out Thr missing salad components (all cheap quality). The bar lady wouldn't fill my $13.50 glass of prosecco to the top .. I asked why not and she said "we don't do that dear".. but the reason was that the bottle had run out and she couldn't be bothered opening a new one, pretty obvious! Clearly not a place to come for food, maybe just a craft beer (as the rest of the clientele seemed to be aware of).

Great set-up and equally good location. Fantastic selection of craft beers with simple but tasty food choices. To try the beer selection take the 4/6/8 pot tasting tray.
Bryan
Had been here before , but only for a drink or snack . This time I came to kill time while the other half attended some cocktail do up the road. So, yes, sadly I ate solo. I like the atmosphere here, love the decor, tables and have found the staff always friendly. Sometimes giving advice about the tap beers which is good seeing as there is many to choose from. On this occasion due to it being restaurant month I chose the special they had going.... $40 for the crispy calamari( Cajun spiced fried until crisp and served with homemade lemon mayonnaise ) and the fancy fish & chips ( fish dipped in their own special craft beer batter and lightly fried). And all washed down with the 2.5 Zeffer Cider on tap. The cider is a new one to me , somehow a unique taste that I've never tasted with a cider before, but still went down well . As for the calamari.. ..perfect and very nice mayonnaise. The fish and chips impressed me more, especially seeing as I had read reviews which criticised the fish.....not so with mine. The fish must have been fried just right as it was quite tasty with the batter being cooked right so it was nice and crispy. The fries weren't exactly chunky fries. More thin. That was the biggest complaint I had...So, anyway will definitely be back sometime and recommend to anyone to try for themselves. And good luck selecting from the tap beers......so many to choose from!!!.
Allen
Been here a couple of times. Love thier tap beer samplers - should be always exciting and interesting.<br/>Ribs is the bomb and its a pretty hefty serving.
Where To Next Auckland
This place is great if you want a chill place to try some great beer with friends. The ambiance is tailored to make it the ideal spot to relax, unwind and be social - dimmed lights and music just loud enough to set the vibe, while still making it easy to hold a conversation. A huge selection of beer, a growing wine selection and some pretty tasty bar food! We dare you not to be relaxed here! Pro Tip: finish the night with one of their whiskeys!
Kendel Turner
Was out for the evening with my family and decided to have dinner out. We walked around and settled on this place knowing pub food is usually good but were we wrong or what!!!<br/>We ordered Fish & chips for my youngest child which was soggy and disgusting which costed $26.90 (worst ever money spent)<br/>We ordered their flagship dish Merino Lamb as suggested by the waitress which was again a massive disappointment as I was expecting a piece of Lamb and mashed potato but received few miniscule pieces of meat and the potato mash was like a frisbeeš²<br/>We asked for tomato juice but were told they were not confident of it being good enough for serving.<br/>The Pineapple juice was disgusting.<br/>All in all terrible experience as we left with a bitter taste in our mouths and $117.70 bill for the worst food ever.<br/>We will definitely not be back even if we were offered a free dining experience.š š
Meghan Kerr-Phillips
Great place to relax with a modern vibe. AAmazing selection of beers and ciders with knowledgable staff who know their beers. Good food selection for numerous different tastes and tasty food. <br/><br/>Only aspect that was of concern was it took a while to be served, but when served staff were fantastic
Benedict Uy
The large table inside the place is really good for large groups. Plenty of booths and tables (inside and out) as well. Large beer menu written on the scroll of paper on the wall by the bar, where empty taps are marked off. They also have a large selection of bottled beer.<br/><br/>The food was a bit hit and miss. The steak wasn't made well (overcooked and not seasoned well) but the chicken was spicy and tasty.<br/><br/>Nice place for an after work drink if you're in the area.
Chay P Rosales
The first time we went for lunch was good the chicken and the ribs was yum! However we visited the place last Sunday and we were disappointed on their ribs. The taste is not as yum as it was.
Miss Kiki
Decided to dine here last night because I felt like beer and their type of food. <br/>Something that I was very happy about was their 90's music playlist. Awesome! <br/>We ordered a 4 crate taster and asked the bartender to choose the flavours. To eat we ordered paua fritters, chicken wings and the smoky pork sliders. <br/>I really enjoyed the food especially the paua fritters! I am not a huge fan of bbq sauce do will probably order the beef or fish sliders next time, my husband chose the smoky pork with bbq sauce sliders and loved it.<br/>Service was good, beer was good and food was good. Will definitely be back.
Torrance Merkle
Good beer but unhelpful staff. When they get your food order wrong, be prepared to pay again for what you actually ordered.
Stephy_NakiGirl
Had been here before for drinks & snacks but decided to try them for lunch.<br/>It was only 11.30am & they were empty so disappointing to see that the service was a little slow & inattentive - would be great for them to be on point from the get-go as those kinds of impressions last. Flagging down wait staff for service in an empty restaurant is a little sad.<br/>We ordered some drinks to start with - pretty good wine list. Again disappointing to find when we asked for recommendations for their craft beer range that they pointed at a menu on the wall. Asking for a recommendation involves the waiter recommending....? Not sure if he didn't know what was good, or was simply distracted?<br/>Meals wise we chose a selection & they were delivered promptly & overall pretty good. We chose the sliced lamb on parsnip purƩe, chicken bites (yummy sauce), hot wings & kumara fries. All were really delicious but could have benefited from some greenery to help with the freshness. Having said that, we would reorder the same again - all were cooked well & very tasty. <br/>So nice food, but the service really needs to be pulled up a notch. There are plenty of other options in the area also offering great food, but better service. Just because you're quiet, if the doors are open, you're open. The customer needs to be your focus.<br/>
Shane Flannelly King
Comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, good location and good beer... Also, not so good beer. We found maybe 5 good out of 12 recomennded. They could be doing a better job weeding out the duds. So, don't just go ordering anything.
Malcolm Ford
Great little spot, try it for yourself. Beer and food pairing that will totally blow you away. Quick service in an awesome spot that you just can't stay away from.
Fylde
Great to have another craft beer venue in the central city. Good range of Leigh's Sawmill beer and good bar snacks. They serve a tasty pint so well worth a visit
Miss Alesana
Me and my partner had lunch here one Saturday.<br/><br/>The burger I ordered was great! My partner got a dish which the guy matched with a beer and it surprisingly went well despite not being something he would usually drink.<br/><br/>Definitely recommend. Great atmosphere and the beers are pretty neat!
Ryan McLaren
I've been here twice now, both times have been a pleasant dining experience.Ā My partner took me for my birthday so I could try the beer range...Ā The food was great.Over our visits we've had the fried chicken with the amazing sauce, fish & chips, a range of sliders.Ā All are very tasty and go well with the huge selection of beers.Ā The hardest part if choosing what to eat and drink!
Rohith Krishnan
Has some of the best craft beers!! A must visit for any beer lover.lots of choices to choose from but can ask the friendly staff for suggestions. And youwont be disappointed!
Eric Gyzmo Sleegers
Been here several times, the 'crate'of samplers is great if you can't make up your mind. Service is outstanding (as are the beers). Food is well above par, the sliders are yummy.
Jo Y
Not being a big beer drinker, I can't comment on their main focus but they did have a reasonable selection of wines also. Stand out food was Paua fritters, very tasty and well seasoned. Fish sliders were ok, nothing special. Table service was a bit sporadic. More of a place for drinks and nibbles rather than a full dinner.
Moggie
Came here a few weeks ago for pre dinner drinks and after a excellent recommendations from the bar man tried a tasting paddle. All great Craft Beers and good to see these type of bars arriving in Auckland and hopefully following in the footsteps of Wellington. Definitely worth a visit for the beers alone.

Sixteen tun is a rustically decorated craft beer bar in North Wharf. I've never really noticed it walking by, but Laura Hunt had wanted to try it for a while so i couldn't see why not. :) <br/><br/>A welcoming and friendly waiter greeted us and seated us promptly. Menus are pretty limited, but considering they aren't specialising in food, I was pretty impressed at what they had. We ordered the Calamari, fried chicken morsels and kumara fries - which were small plates and the BBQ smokey ribs which was a large plate. <br/><br/>I'd highly recommend everything we tried except the calamari. I absolutely love calamari but it seriously didn't satisfy. Sadly it was just fried ball of batter. Chicken was beautiful as was the ribs. The portion of ribs was decent. <br/><br/>Atmosphere was nice. Wasn't too busy and the decor is beaut. Gets a tad chilly after sitting for a while though.
Mel Cope
Stumbled across 16tun while we were looking for somewhere to eat before a show.Ā Best selection of imported beers I've ever seen.Very knowledgeable bar staff.Ā We liked the look of a certain beer in the chiller and asked one of the wait staff if we could try it - we were then directed to one of the experts who then told us it's their most expensive beer in the bar.Ā Most other places I've been to wouldn't have flinched at popping the cap and serving it up without warning - really appreciated the honesty.Also, by far the best kumara fries I've ever had.Ā Can't wait to go back.
Anna Harding
Such an awesome place! Perfect location and what was needed:-) As someone who doesn't often drink beer this was still an enjoyable experience. What really sealed the deal was the menu hat accompanied the beer selection which was simple but still exciting to order from.
Celeste Bowden
What a fantastic place. We really enjoyed trying all the different craft beers available, complete with enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. Their Vegetarian dish (Vege Patch) was amazing. As a long time vegetarian, I get very bored with what is usually on offer (tomato pasta) and was delighted that you offered a warm quinoa dish with haloumi and beetroot - ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS! I'll definitely be returning, but will remember to pack a sober driver next time!
Faroe3456
Great beer, great food and great service. This place is an excellent complement to NZs Craft Beer boom. Will definitely be back.
Frank
Decor is modern with dark wood walls and plenty of copper, booth seating and steam punk lighting, but the place was almost empty when we came past, compared to its neighbours. This could be because it is at the end of run of interesting restaurants and surrounded by quite a few establishments at the new North Wharf complex. I was quite impressed by my Caesar Salad, but the fish sliders and burger I saw others eat appeared lacklustre and also a bit slow to come out. I do think it has potential so will look out for it again in future!
