Review Craft - Hamilton

Was a good little spot! Great mix of craft beers available. I didnt place a star for food, as we didn't eat, but the menu looked scrumptious!😜

On a Saturday night on Hood St we were looking for a low-key venue for a drink after a sporting event, and Craft fitted the bill perfectly. Being a fan and follower of craft beer, I was really excited by the selection on offer. The knowledgeable barman poured samples of the brews I was interested in so I could do some comparisons, and soon I was sitting down in a comfortable sofa with my companions with two delicious brews. (Wild Beer’s winter “Smoke n Barrels” from the UK, and kiwi hopheads Epic’s new “Static IPA” release). The bar has a very cool, sophisticated vibe. The kind of place good to hang out and have a chat without having to raise your voice. Bathrooms very clean and tidy, and my friends loved the long natural-wood cut tree bar table as an interior piece. The bar snacks were really reasonably priced, and for $6 I was amazed at the amount of onion rings we received. Along with the crispy calamari, it was more than enough food for us to enjoy with the beers at a good price. My only critique being that the larger onion pieces being cut so thick and chunky while pleasing to the eye, didn’t eat so well as the onion was still raw in the middle. We definitely had a good night with Craft however and we all agreed that if we lived local it would be a place we would return to.

The best Pork Belly I have ever had in my life! This was a new dish but it needs to be a menu staple. All the meals were amazing, but seriously…that Pork Belly is something dreams are made of.

Great place for unique drinks and to try different types of food. The food and service was exquisite. A great place for a date night or dinner with the family! A little bit more expensive, however worth every penny! Thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here!

I am not sure which I enjoyed more, the fantastic selection of beers (national & international) or the experience and warmth of the staff. Do you love fine beer, great food and winning banter? Then miss this one at your own risk

Great atmosphere, great beer, great service. Spent a few hours here after a conference and the staff went out of their way to make is feel welcome. Knowledgeable about their craft beer and able to give recommendations based on your preferences. Good range of beers and Glass sizes. Well priced and food decent too. Will be back.

Great selection of craft beer! A sunny spot to people watch and enjoy a wide range of beers. The bartender knew a lot about each of them and was happy to help us taste and make decisions. Good spot for a late afternoon beverage.

Good service and food. Thanks for the recommendation of bear. A bit pricey for the amount of plates though

Best little bar in Hamilton. With an ever changing array of beers there is always something new and interesting to try. With the Sage kitchen on food there is an awesome menu to go with it. Always my first choice.

The food is mindblowing!! And the staff really knows what they’re talking about when recommending a perfect whisky for my taste. But really, the FOOD is out of this world every time I come here.

Came to Craft for date night after a long week at work and let me tell you, this is exactly the type of satisfaction you need to set you up for a great weekend. Our waiter was absolutely lovely and accommodating, even went the extra mile to fix the slight wobble our table had and also regularly coming by to check our drinks. Food was amazing, we had the 1kg of steak to share and honestly did not think I’d be able to get through much but after that first juicy medium rare bite all self control left the table, and don’t get me started on the potato with cheese and sour cream.. I was basically licking the bowl clean within minutes. Although I’m definitely a dessert person, I was so satisfied with the meal I couldn’t even fit dessert in if I tried. What a great start to the weekend and a very happy couple we are.

Came here for pizza and beer (what else do you come for), I got the tasting rack, partner got a full sized beer. Pizza tasted good and had to get the hash tag fries, they were pretty yum. Would come back

Road trip down to H Town today and just before we left, we thought we'd try the coffee over @ C. <br/><br/>It's a funky looking little bar/pizzeria and the staff are friendly, aromas from the kitchen delicious smelling and if we hadn't already eaten, would have ordered a pizza too. Their coffee was nice and hot. Not as strong as we usually get. But our trim flats kept us happy on the way back to Auck and that's all that mattered.

Best pizzas in town, wood fired, thin crust, high quality ingredients, delicious flavour combinations. The sliders and snacks are highly recommended. The range of tap beer is always changing and there is a taster size available if you are keen to try a few different ones. Service is easy going and friendly. Definitely a favourite!
