Seafood chowder was delicious! Big chunks of salmon, extremely tasty.
Huge serving of nachos, came out hot and steamy.
Not the first time here, and would huge selection of craft beers. Staff are extremely knowledge in this aspect
Very busy afternoon that we popped in, so ended up waiting longer than expected. Upon leaving the staff apologised for the long waiting time which was sweet of them. The staff put in a lot of effort with the service. Would always return!
Highly recommend the seafood chowder!

I absolutely love coming here for a delicious seafood chowder, don't think any other place is comparable. The fish and chips were great and weren't dry at all. Will definitely go here again!

Great little place in the heart of the city. Found it to be warm and cozy with great staff. The barman was friendly and more than willing to chat.
It was a cold rainy day when I went so the warm atmosphere with fires was well appreciated. The food was good although I am yet to have a full meal here.

Went for dinner on mothers day, food was pretty good and the atmosphere and service were great! Both the male waiters were friendly and polite. Was the first time either of us had eaten there but we'll definitely be going back.

The food is good, the service is good. The price is reasonable for the type of food you are getting when compared to similar places around the city.
Meals are usually serviced in 5 -10 minutes.

They also have options for Gluten free as well which is not as common as one would think and a big plus.

Came here the other night and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Helpful and friendly staff plus a warm, relaxed atmosphere started the night off well. My partner ordered the venison pastry pie and loved it, while I had the Craic burger, gluten-free. Clued up staff knew to swap the default beer battered chips with shoestring, which I was happy about. The burger itself was so good! Great place, I really cannot fault it at all. Have recommended to my family already, and we will be going back at some point without a doubt.

This was our first dining experience in Dunedin, and we were very satisfied.

Dunedin restaurants lack culture and personality. I think Craic has it right. I ordered Braised Hare. It was so tender, it melted in my mouth. My husband had Bangers n Mash, and was equally pleased with his order. This was also the place that offered our first (of many) taste of Magners cider.

It's a small bar. But cosy, unique with excellent food. We will definitely be back for more.

Had dinner at the Craic tonight. This is probably the fifth time I have eaten here now, and have never been disappointed. The food is very tasty, the servings very generous, the atmosphere is nice (though far removed from "fine dining")and all at very acceptable prices. Great selection of beers and a good wine list as well.
I'll be back...

Had eggs bennny, the hollandaise sauce was cold which made the eggs cold. Told waitress and she got chef to remake with sauce on the side. It came out with nice hot eggs so happy customer cheers. We're 6 on our table and everyone else meals looked nice.

Loved this place! A genuine Irish pub feel - no cheesy Irish jokes on the wall. Good atmosphere, fire in the corner, live music from time to time, good range of beverages, great food and gentle friendly staff. Would move in if I could!

I've been in Dublin a few years ago, but I've never tasted any food better than this place in the Irish capital. Better Irish dishes than their homeland! This says it all.

Dropped in for a cuppa while on a day trip from the grand Princess made to feel very welcome 😊☕ returned for the fish and chips with blue cod was delicious, chips also the best I have had in a long time, so well done. Warm and cosy on a chilly day, staff very friendly and welcoming. Drop in when visiting the area.

Stopped for drinks whilst walking around yhe town on a freezing afternoon. The pub was small but warm and had good typical Irish decor exuding a great atmosphere. Drinks were well priced and included whisky and gin specials

Had a delicious meal and then woke up the next morning to find they'd accidentally added a zero when charging us 😬😬😬 luckily the manager Claire was incredibly helpful and after trying several different options she was able to give us a refund for the overage and gave us a round of drinks for the trouble! Overall a great experience when it could have been incredibly frustrating, 10/10 would eat here again!

Central CBD location in the Octagon. Seated tables, leaners, and couches. Live music on some evenings. Good selection of bar snacks and meals.

On a cold day, while I was on a work trip in Dunedin, I was walking and enjoying the city during the last few hours before my flight; decided to eat a late lunch. When I was walking I saw The Craig Irish Tavern and walked in… I had a very lovely experience: -Food was very yummy and fresh -Waiting time was very short -The atmosphere was fantastic (I picked a nice and cozy seat by the fireplace) -staff were very friendly, helpful and nice Next time I travel to Dunedin, I’ll definitely come back here! HOGHLY RECOMMENDED:)
