Review Rosie O'grady's Irish Pub - Mount Maunganui

Friendly service nice enough decor although stage area could use a clean up. Food was nice and good beer.

Fantastic place to relay, got the feeling it could be busy but the day before new years in the sunshine it was very easy going

Totally enjoy Rosie's! Excellent, friendly staff. Always make you feel welcomed. Great environment of all ages. Pool tables and darts to keep you company. Someone's bound to talk to you if you're sitting alone. Great place!

Great friendly service from staff and the Pulled Pork Burger is amazing, however the interior seems somewhat dark in comparison which visually is a shame. Will definitely come back for another burger. Thanks again.

Good service and atmosphere. Good afternoon work drinks. Wouldn't mind going back there again for round two drinks with the work mates

great food, very nice, very casual with lovely upstairs balcony and even blew $20 on their pokies for a bit of fun

only went on a Thursday night for Karaoke. had a great time. no Speights on tap.

Great after work pub, pool tables and good selection of tap beers and wine

Great meal. I really enjoyed the scotch fillet and the pepper sauce. It is a must have.

Awesome pub. Not super flash, but just what you need to have drinks with mates

Nice place, sporty crowd, watched the first test NZ/ England which NZ deservedly won.

Awesome atmosphere for the rugby. Great staff and the food was very tasty

Great place to catch up with friends and have a good light meal

Really decent pub grub. Excellent presentation with the old newspaper style wrapped around the burger. It was delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful, they didn't have the drink I wanted at the bar but the barman ran next door to get me one! 5/5

To be honest I couldn't fault the place. The staff have service that would've made any food appreciatable. We were in Tauranga on holiday but as we were camping we didn't have access to watch the rugby match on sky. My hubby walked into this place during the day and asked if they would turn the game on, they said yes. So 30min before game we arrived. The lady remembered my hubby n changed it straight to the sports channel. Throughout the whole evening they were helpful and polite and was ok about us having our 8 year old with us. Oh about the food right - it was filling and I couldn't complain. I loved the glass/jars that the fizzy was served in.  - Oh I should've added, it was a public holiday (Easter Friday) so venue's were very limited and we couldn't' seem to find any place that was going to be open and show the game that was also suitable for kids. Rosie's topped it.

We used Rosie O'Gradys to help fund raise for a Netball Tournament that we went to in February. We arranged a quiz night where we sold tickets for $20 each (and kept all of that money) and provided we had at least 100 people attend the event, they agreed to provide nibbles for each table, a bar tab for the winners of the quiz and also $1 off each drink that was purchased. <br/><br/>On the night we had 122 people and a large number of drinks were sold. Overall it was a very successful fundraiser due to ticket sales.<br/><br/>However - as of today, we are still waiting for the money that was promised from drink sales. We have visited and called a large number of times and keep getting fobbed off. 2 months down the track, we have lost all hope in getting the money that was promised and considering we managed to get in 122 punters into the bar that night (probably about 112 more than normal) we have been pretty disappointed with what's happened. <br/>While I will still say again that we appreciated Rosie's for allowing us to do the quiz night, its pretty unfair of them to promise something and not deliver and because of this, I'm not likely to visit again, nor recommend it to anyone else. <br/>If they weren't able to give us $1 off each drink sold then they shouldn't have promised this from the start.

Best pub in the mount in my opinion, great wide open space for bands, huge screen for sports, pool tables, beer garden is great, karaoke night is good fun on a Thursday although live music or jam nite would be better. Great specials on jugs of beers and a good range of tap and bottled beer, I really enjoy coming here, cheers guys, see you soon for a super jug or two!

I am a regular at Rosie O'Gradys, I was shocked to see comments below, especially from the member called 'Dinny'. I love the Irish theme of the bar, one of the more authentic Irish Pubs in New Zealand. The library books and old posters add to that. In Ireland all the pubs have old story books. We were at Rosie's on the 1st and they were so busy. we waited maybe 35 mins but considering it was so busy we expected that. They have turned there back yard into a beach which I have never seen before and the atmosphere was amazing. (I'm just glad I don't have to clean all the sand up from inside). The food is just what you would expect at a pub. But the publican has done wonders for that place and even shouts the odd beer. I totally disagree with these comments and my husband calls it his Local and i also love going.

My comments are given as feedback for improvement and I hope useful observation from a customer’s view point.<br/>On entering Rosie’s I was a little confused as to the overall theme- Irish I think not, which I didn't actually mind being at the MOUNT. Definition of the "MOUNT" Beaches, sun /surf, swimming, sand, semi tropical &amp; refreshing breezy &amp; fun. Breakers are next door right? Definition of “Rosie’s” historically old stale faded mixy- matchy, unbalanced compartmental non-flowing - non inviting construction. Get rid of the excess in those cabinets and the glass cabinets, library books?... Unless you have some punters still around to tell their stories, are they even conversation pieces ? - Maybe some interps for those historic things of value- re-arrange them at least, is it a social venue or a museum? The beach theme added a concept of summer time holidays at the beach and was refreshing but that didn't flow throughout the bar as the sand did.<br/>We were served drinks, pleasantly chilled and timely, but for the 3-4 times to our table came the bar-person to remove empty vessels, not once did they notice the puddle forming from 3-4 sets of drinks each time- it got really wet. The menu was actually Irishy, and tempting and very reasonably priced, however the 1 hour wait for a plate of wedges was unacceptable. It seems the patrons in Rosie’s take a back seat to the meal orders made in the Breakers restaurant so we were told…. Our order was put to the side. Food should not be offered if it cannot be expected to be delivered in the order it is made and paid for? <br/>The overall service was adequate but has potential to be great. I know this bar is making a comeback, are all staff on board with that? Service with a smile really does go a long way and putting in place basic standard practices would really benefit this bars’ future. It is about personality &amp; vibe, the furnishing are less important when there are motivated personalities servicing customers. Take MacDonald's and BP who use scripts to explore the possibility of a further potential sale per customer by simply asking "would you like fries with that order?", can I wipe down your table? What makes a good bar?- good service. What makes a great bar?- great service. How do you get great service?- the selection of team players who are valued for their skills, experience and social personalities- after all you are in the business of hospitality…… from the manager to the kitchen-hand or chief to the Indian.

We ate here over Xmas holidays. Very disappointing, meals are cooked at Breakers (which is next door). And meals were not great! Only good thing was drinks, friendly staff and outside garden bar. We won't be eating there again.
