Been here a few times and it’s always special. Love the different beers, highly recommend the yummy boysenberry sour, and the Bad Juju Double IPA.

If you love craft beer get yourself a tasting flight in addition to the wine tasting flights upstairs. The head brewer is someone who really knows what they are doing! They were delicious and really fresh, still raving about how good the beers were!

Choice "underground" feeling spot of the main winery restaurant upstairs. Really cool tap pipes coming down from the ceiling, as well as nice indoor and outdoor seating. Try a flight of all of their beers (some available upstairs)
UPDATE: and the food is much better priced than upstairs as well as being more what we want from a lunch than fancy 5 star winery dinner

Awesome service. Next-day delivery from Waiheke to West Auckland for my Father's Day gift box present to myself... Confident the beers will be delicious as per usual

We ended our Waiheke Island day at Alibi, having some Cider and Beer instead of the wine we had at the other wineries. It has a great vibe, the whole complex is beautiful inside and out.
Our waitress was very friendly and the drinks were good, would recommend to stop by here!

One word Chicken Wings. You have to get these they were best I have had. Great staff. Awesome views. Highly recommended. Sadly no photo of the chicken wings as they disappeared quickly. Truffle chips were also a hidden gem. We spoilt ourselves with a 2015 reserve.

Located below the restaurant part of Tantalus. Craft beers, wines and cocktails. Also a nibbles menu. The bar has an intimate underground cellar feel but there are also shaded outdoor seating overlooking the vines. Come and see for yourself!

Echoing the previous statement this is not only the best brewery on the island, but probably the world. Cannot think of another brewery where every (and I mean every) beer has been so good.
Looking forward to seeing where you go and fingers crossed you reach the UK soon.

Awesome experience, highly recommend. The staff were so lovely, we spoke to several of them during our visit and their service was great. Beautiful setting, was just had chips for a snack while we visited and they were delicious. Wine was tasty and the bathroom decor was awesome. Recommend to all, will definitely be back.

We decided to spend the day on the hop on hop off bus and this was our first stop. It was a sunny day so we sat outside with great views over the surrounding vines. We did a tasting of the core beers and they were all great! The service was really good and the whole experience was amazing. The inside of the bar also looked really welcoming and cosy for those cooler days/nights. Highly recommend as a change to the wine tastings (which you can do upstairs at Tantalus)

Amazing selection of beers! The view from the outside patio is breathtaking. We were lucky and the chief on duty (german) had made homemade bratwurst from his fathers recipe and they did not disappoint (beer may have been a factor) and the fries with aioli was amazing. As mentioned in other posts...they require a credit card to maintain a tab. This is normal in NZ unless you are paying for each drink at the bar. I highly recommend this place to unwind from a long day walking around the island. You may even see helicopters bringing in VIPs to the back landing pad :) If you are feeling adventurous try the beer made from cactus, its actually rather good

best place to have a date night or to rewind with your special someone on the island

Excellent addition to Tantalus Estate. If you like porters or stout theirs is amazing. Great food, comfy couches for cooler evenings, or lovely garden for beers on the sunny days. Great to see the same staff back for a second summer. Service is top notch.

What an awesome place. Pretty small when the weather's bad, but cozy, relaxed and comfortable.
Alibi has superb beer and wine options, and the food we had was sublime . The parmesan truffle fries were crispy with loads of parmesan cheese and a truffle creme fraiche, and the lamb shoulder sharing plate (pictured) was so gorgeous we'd have come back for it alone if we'd had more time on Waiheke.

Excellent food! Good beverage selection, friendly efficient service, interesting comfortable design and a lovely surrounding environment. However, it is worth a visit if only to sample something off the food menu. I will be back again very soon to continue working my way through the menu.

This is the BEST brewery on the island and would give mainland breweries a run for their money. All the beers were well crafted with great colour, flavours and aroma. The brewer graciously offered me a tasting of a couple for sours under development which were impressive. This is a must visit for beer aficionados. Thanks.
