Review The Brewer's Apprentice - Palmerston North

The food and desserts were of commendable quality. I particularly relished the inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. They have a tempting option of stone-grilled steak 🥩 priced at NZD 12, although it's worth noting that the portion might be a tad modest for the price. It's worth mentioning that some of the other menu options are slightly above the average price range.

Atmosphere was great. Server was enthusiastic. Large portion of ribs were juicy and filling. Smashed burger (1 Pattie - options upto 3) was tasty with fries & aioli...you pick which sauce. Baked cheesecake was presented artistically but a sliver than a slice.

The best place to go for cocktails and see live music. It's often busy which is a good sign but isn't a problem because the staff are quick and super onto it. You can also buy drinks from your table and get them delivered without having to move from your seat. Food is super good too 😋

This is the coolest experience I have Ona meal! Totally worth it and it was just so good! Picture probably explain better than I described it. Rump steak 400G

Great atmosphere, outdoor seating with working fireplace. Offered knee rugs, too. Entertaining solo artist playing pre band. Staff is very friendly. Only had desserts, and it was yum.

Perfect spot for lunch on a sunny day 🫶🏼 everything we ordered was delicious and the cocktails were amazing!! Definitely a 10/10 place to go

Very nice, good food and good average drinks. A bit pricey and the music is a bit high. So if you want to mingle I would advise not goinf when there is live music. Customer service was great! People were so welcoming and funny. I felt so happy when I went to the counter to buy something. Just amazing friendly people with humour. Recommended and specially for big groups of people!

Had a lovely lunch in the outdoor seating. Had the vegan burger which was delicious! Ordered through the handy little QR code on the table and the food came out fast. Great service!

Food is standard, can get quite noisy. Service sub par.

Love this place. Food is a bit price but love the cocktails. Best Long Island Ice Tea that ibhave had in a long time. They also introduced us to a new dark rum which reminds us of something closer to South African Red Heart Rum. Thanks guys!

Second visit to the Apprentice. The hours listed on Google are not consistent with actual hours - the close time is based on how busy it is. That being said, they carry most of the Monteith's line (why it isn't just a Monteith's Ale House escapes me) and bar service is friendly. Many other comments indicates that food prep takes a long time. I ordered the Prime Eye Fillet, and received my meal in less than 15 minutes. The meal was well prepared and tasty, although prices were high for the portions. The share plates sound and look super, although a bit much for my appetite on a solo visit. All in all, a nice place to grab a pint near the square on a cold night. The fireplaces and bar have a wonderful ambiance, and the Scarlet lass working the bar has a warm demeanor. Not usually busy in the winter months, but worth popping in. Cheers!
