B. J.

the best thing about this place is that if you have a family with a variety of tastes that you will find something to make everyone happy. Gourmet hot dog, burgers, chicken, vegetarian etc and the quality was great. The place had gas heaters to keep us warm on a cold night so all good. Very happy with our selection.

We had an amazing time at Sobar & cafe. The food was great, portion were huge and the service was awesome. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good time & good food

After rafting trip, we came here for lunch. Food was absolutely amazing! I had tuna poki bowl. A bit too much mayo😂　but tasted good! My husband's bagel 🥯 was huge ! Looked amazing. We also had small wedges. Even small size was quite big😂😂😂　Thanks!

C. K.

Excellent fried food. Cooked at the perfect temperature. Vegetarian dumplings and vegetable burger also excellent. Nice service too. Happy customers.

M. P.

Really lovely fresh fish. So tasty and hot. Mean hot dogs and chips for my 6yr old. Very filling. Lots of sauces to use and dipping sauces. Would eat again there. Friendly staff. Seats not very comfy. Clean and tidy

M. I.

Had dinner last night and I was surprised. This burger was really delicious. One of the best i had. Fries was ok too.will be back for sure. Friendly service.

K. K.

Love the food. We had 2 drinks, 10 dumplings and the Montreal fries for under $30. Will be heading back on a Wednesday sometime for the $1 wings.

C. B.

Had the hot dogs and mac&cheese bites, both were such good value for money, massive portion and extremely tasty! Also had the Te Raumati cocktail which was so fruity and delicious 😋 would recommend. Staff were also very friendly

S. W.

Good alternative to Brew Bar after a long day's ride. Top notch burgers and pizza on offer. Range of gourmet hot dogs too if you're seeking out sausage

Z. K.

Fast prompt service with a smile,the food was excellent and the serving size big enough to fill a large man ( me ) would go back next time we are in Rotorua 😊

C. O.

We ordered a large lunch today and unfortunately there was an issue in the kitchen which meant the food was delayed. However the lovely staff more than made up for it and made sure we were comfortable during the wait with lollies and drinks. The food when it came out was really tasty and the fries and wedges were massive. Would definitely come back 10/10 👌

S.

Nice ambiance and good food with great choices of beers

B. K. F.

One of the few, if not the last place to close on Eat Streat in Rotorua. Got to sample one of their beers, ordered just a small one but got a good-size serving and service was fast and smooth despite the crowds. Went here around 11pm looking for some beer after hitting one of the thermal pools. Cozy spot.

T. J.

Had a lovely lunch in the sun, what friendly great staff there. Then there was the food! Delicious! Great value for money also... had the pork buns which were tender and crackle was perfection. The big kransky roll was superb, and then it was “free fries Friday”. So a big plate of kumera fries. A great spot on Eat Street and the decor is very cool.

M. L.

Great food and excellent value, their chips and wedges were a hit with our kids and the pizzas are fantastic too. Great service too.

M. V.

The veggie burger is very good and massive plus is they have Erdinger Weissbier

L. W.

Sobar is so legit!!! Stopped in for a late lunch on a fri and was absolutely thrilled to bits with our experience. We ordered a doz wings($1 a wing) -Beef burger and chips -Kransky hotdog and chips -Nuggets and chips -A bundaberg soft drink -And a lime milkshake Everything was spot on best beef burger my partner has had for a while and shes a cheeseburger kind of gal, my hotdog was truley epic my only regret was ordering the wings because my eyes were too big for my stomach lol. Thanks guys for the awesome meal we will be back for sure gonna have to work my way through that menu. What a difference it makes when someone puts love and care into what they do.

A. P.

Good atmosphere, seemed a popular spot, clean bathrooms, nice staff

R. C.

Very tasty. Great prices, fabulous, friendly service.

M. G.

Had an awesome time! Purchased on Groupon, and so extremely pleased. Food was delicious, especially the beef burger and all ingredients fresh. Barman named Mana was outstanding! Kept our drinks flowing all night long and so lovely to deal with. All over a great place for dinner and good music.

S.

Delicious vegetarian dumplings - $10 for 10! Great vibe, friendly staff, popular place. Annnnd their straws are made from straw! (hay)

N. H.

Wow awesome meat lovers pizza, nice quality toppings and the base was one of the best we have tasted. Nice plate of dumplings and a couple of drinks. Great service and fantastic live music. First time we have been there but would go back again. Was also reasonably priced.

T. B.

Used a Groupon voucher for this bar. Not going to lie, we had a great night here. Food was reasonably priced and the service was fantastic. Can't remember his name but the main front of house guy was brilliant... ended up tipping him the value of our Groupon voucher as he really helped make our evening fun. Would definitely come here again.

N.

What an great atmosphere, they had a couple of guys playing guitars that were awesome belting out all the classics. Even one of the locals got up and sang which was special. Stayed a little longer than planned due to having such a good time there.

M.

Great food and cold beer - what else do you need!

S. S.

Good atmosphere for drinks and food. Always my go to place for drinks out, sometimes they have DJ's or live music and the music otherwise on is a great vibe. Will definitely be going back, if you want a good night out make sure to check this place out!!

C.

No joke, this was the best burger I’ve ever had in my life. It was crunchy, the sauce tasted amazing and the meat was perfect. Definitely coming back soon !!!

M. O.

FOOD WAS FABULOUS WE HAD BURGERS PIZZA POKE BOWLS & KIDS MEALS !!! THE KIDS LOVED THEIR MEALS & MILKSHAKES WHILE THE ADULTS ENJOYED THERE FOOD !! SERVERS WERE FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING AS WE NEEDED EXTRA SEATING FOR KIDS ECT !! WOULD RECOMMEND FOR FAMILIES !!

D. L.

Awesome lunch! Everyones meal was perfect. Great for kids. Super friendly and fast service. And great prices!!! Definitely recommend.

S.

Like the play of words for there name Eat street looks so so quiet Good concept to have the restaurants all together with good variety but it looked like only one place was doing well for business (sorry not this one but it should) Sobar I used a grabone voucher The food took a long time to come out. But the food was good. One of the better vege burgers I've ever had and the missus liked her beef burger. They were a little stingy with the chips Menu seems limited Overall I was impressed

J. L.

Nice atmosphere but...we waited almost an hour for our food to arrive. However, when the food arrived, we could not fault it! Awesome food, would recommend this spot if u are not on a tight schedule ;)

L. z.

Great atmosphere, cozy with little booths but still can get proper busy, they have a DJ and good selection of beers on tap. I saw some comments about bad food here so I checked and they have new chef now, just to remind you though it's not a restaurant but a bar with snacks. Friendly staff and great location!

J. W.

Nice place. Fantastic food. Great service and the live singer was the cherry on the top. Prices were reasonable. Stumbled away really filled. (Y)

R. D.

We've been here twice. We live in Auckland and have to travel a bit to get here. Both times we have pre purchases a grabeone for their tasty burgers. It's going to become a tradition because my husband loves their juicy burgers. The staff are friendly and the decoration is cosy. Sobars prices are in the $20+ but have specials all the time.

D. D.

Their 1 wing for 1$ special chicken wings are awesome! Taste really good with or without the sauce. Ask for it If you want to get some snack. Service is good as well.

E. P.

This is a new hot spot in Rotorua. I went there on Saturday night and it was packed! They had a live DJ with a singer and it was amazing the music was a little different but still funky.

D. R.

The best Bar on Eat Streat. Sobar is my #1 go to bar in Eat Streat.. It's a great bar with some good beer on tap. The staff are always great and very friendly hence you'll find me here with a few guys most Friday afternoons after work. A great place to end the week before I pickup a take out Thai meal from Wild Rice for my wife. I'm looking forward to this Friday as they have been replacing the bar all week.

R. B.

Great place to share drinks with friends.

A. D.

Great atmosphere and so onto it when it comes to food and being allergy-friendly, staff are very friendly and helpful. Plus vegan options! Great place

L.

Delicious food and very generous portions, also I didn't order chips and they gave me chips anyway

a. s.

Went to Sobar recently with my whanau, such a friendly environment and great service from staff. We were served by a lovely young lady- serena, really polite and helpful. Good food and drinks too, really enjoyed it.

R. A.

L. W.

It has absolutely excellent customer service. Thank you to today's manager Sheree, so very helpful. Loved the food and very reasonable food and beverage prices.

K. M.

Great place for lunch with a great vibe, friendly staff and amazing food for a fantastic price too! Would recommend 100%

M. S.

Bar was good and had really nice music until the bouncer decided not to let me back in. Just wanted to look how the other places were like and he said I was too drunk. Just had one drink before. Didn’t even want to listen. You should probably get a bouncer who has a higher IQ than the beer you are selling Edit Oct. 2020: Hello Kia Ora, thank you for your response. Since I live in germany, I don´t think I´ll be able to come and visit your bar soon. But I really appreciate it that you answered my complain regarding the former team. Big kudos for that and allthough I didn´t come back, just for your answer: you get 5 stars :)

I. R.

Excellent service and great entertainment along with a lovely bubbly lady behind the bar named Serena. Would recommend going for either a few drinks and food or ten :)

J. K.

They had a great $12.5 burger and chips special when we went. I really enjoyed the veggie burger. Cool little spot.

T. A.

Awesome staff and amazing food. Highly recommend! Love the vibes 👌👌👌

T. F.

Price was okay, service good and staff friendly, just the quality of the food didn’t warrant a higher rating. Beer selection was ok and that would probably be all I would return to purchase.
