Damn Astrolabe Brew Bar is average. Been here twice while I've been in Mount Maunganui and had average food. I can't remember what I got the first time but I got a chicken poké bowl the second time. The food is just average pub food nothing special. Most likely will be back because i've never been disappointed. x
They have the Macs beer range on tap and this time we've found their food pretty good as well.
We tried Pizza by the metre, it was delicious and big enough to feed 2-3 people. We really enjoyed it!
Also tried a salad bowl, which was interesting kind of mixture of Asian flavour, and rice was soaked in the source in the bottom of the bowl. Interesting.
Great vibe and surroundings. Great menu that caters to families and those who are health conscious. The pulled pork salad I had was Devine and was a large portion. Shakar bowl was eaten by my husband and he enjoyed it and was happy with the amount of salmon. Caesar salad was what my daughter chose and she loved it. Drink were all scrumptious especially the strawberry milkshake.
Came and had a half half pizza with butcher and chicken. I also ordered some fries. It was SO GOOD. Flavourful and crunchy to the max!
The pizza base has a chew to it. The bottom was crispy and the flavours came together well. I preferred the butcher pizza. The pork/ham bits were very very good.
When: Saturday, 4pm
What We Ordered: Aloha moods half a metre pizza, Wongs sticky pork ribs, Onion rings, Kumara fries, salted pepper squid, Chocolate milk shake and a bonus chips.
Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loooved everything that we have ordered. The pizza was huge, the thickness was just right, I’m more of the thin crust kind. The ribs was delicious, its sauce was not overwhelming, huge plate. Onion rings and the on-the-house chips were yum, not too oily!
Ambience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Family-friendly with playground area for kids, cute colour scheme and decors . We were just unfortunately seated below a tree with birds perched on it, no umbrella. Imagine the worst thing that could happen in that scenario. But all goood!
Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly crew. Service was fast.

Really nice place and great location. So much to choose from on the menu. The staff were very friendly. Orders are placed at the bar a bit different but not a hassle. The food was great ordered burgers and waffles was filled to the brim. I do recommend giving it a try.
Not a bad location. Coffee ok. No almond milk. No table service just counter. Big breakfast ordered couldnt change eggs. Apart from that tasted goid. Big helpings. Staff could be more friendly thoigh. Cider great. Will go back now i know what to expect
Great pizza and the place has a nice playground for kids (so the parents can actually enjoy their drinks). Service was excellent. Place needs a good clean though as tables were a bit sticky and the bathroom was a mess. Highly recommend the pepperoni and bluecheese pizza!
Great atmosphere, very NZ music, with decorations like you're at a relative's house, especially the Nana's House area. We had a 50cm pizza which was huge but crispy and thin so it's just right to share between 2 people. We had half n half so we tried 2 different flavours.
The vibe of this place is funk throughout. I mean funk for all ages. Energetic and playful. This isnt just at nighttime; the place is peppy at breakfast lunch and dinner. Equally crowded at all times. So there has to be something that clicks with so many people.
What this place lacks is service. Ordered a cocktail, a tap beer and onion rings. Got told that the cocktail would take a bit long; and I was completely ok with it. Till 20 mins later when the beer was down and so were the onion rings and one server told me that the drink would be there shortly. Another 20 mins and I went to the bar to check myself. No drink still. So yeah 45 mins wait for the drink. No doubt it was fabulous and exactly what the summer sun wanted. But 45 mins!! Nahh.
Also had the tacos. Good way to serve them deconstructed.
Pricewise: $50 for 2
Returns: double yay.
An amazing place to eat and relax whilst in the Mount. The outdoor area is so nice, calming and relaxing. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want a delicious lunch!
The staff were lovely and the food and drink came out quickly.
The cauliflower bites and Korean chicken were nice but the nachos not so much. Minimal meat and everything was a bit too sweet.
Great atmosphere, great cocktails, great service. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to eat here yet, but the drinks have been as delicious as they look every time.
I went here with my friends for a late lunch and a few beers. Had the best poke bowl ever! Absolutely delicious! Would highly recommend if you're not feeling the typical pub grub!
Food was good, price was ok, portion was ok, drinks were great. They said wait was 1.5 hours but came a lot earlier than that.
Definitely will come back
Fun place! It was absolutely pumping Friday night with a dance music gig. Went for afternoon team and a cheeky beer the next day too. Recommended.
Yes! Is all I can say. What a great bar, full of character and everything you could need! Staff were friendly & helpful. Plenty of variety of drinks on offer. A small play area for kids with slide. DJs on in the evening. Overall great vibe.
This bar is awesome. Fantastic food and drink. Great music, very laid back. They have created a perfect kiwi "bach culture" vibe. Staff are very friendly. Their cider is awesome with several flavours they mix on the spot with lots of lime! Yummy!! $10 Will get you a beer, Burger and chips on Tuesdays. SOOOO GOOD!!
Yummy food, not overly expensive and great portion sizes, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere, all round great place. Have always enjoyed dining out here.
Good atmosphere, decent drink prices, great music. Security staff were particularly good. Especially the ones on the door. Cheers 🍻
