Reviews of The Bog

Authentic Irish pub and i ordered Irish stew which was gluten free. Friendly wait staff. We loved the decor.

A lovely dining experience twas had...I tried my first Guinness, and I enjoyed it very much... nice taste and very easy to drink. We shared entrees of calamari, and stuffed mushrooms... very generous portions. I had corn, pumpkin and bacon fritter stack which was huge, and very filling. We also had the Surf n Turf, another massive meal, steak (which we couldn't finish), mussels, prawns, and chips. Unfortunately no room for dessert. We waddled out, bellies full and content. Very happy chappies, cheers 😁

Great barman! Very helpful about what to do on our way upto Christchurch. Looks like an authentic Irish bar

The staff are always friendly and chatty, the atmosphere is really awesome, we always go there every time in Dunedin for drinks and meals

We went as a large family group and the service was great. Everyone enjoyed there generous meals. Downs Stairs was an open mic evening and it sounded like a great time in Dunedin.

Awesome meals, have tried many of the mains now and no complaints at all everything has consistently been amazing! Such great value for money, but we havent had a chance to try any entrees or desserts yet. Lunches here are great too!! Great place to take the family, kids dine free on a Sunday which is an awesome deal!

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Great place to stop in for a bitters after dinner.

Amazing friendly service during difficult level 2 restrictions. Am from out of town here for work and appreciated the warm welcome and atmosphere

A great place to enjoy having a drink. Large food portions that leave you full, it's a bar with character and good banter.

Awesome open night mic with great group of peop

Great service. A grand pint of Guinness! Wedges and nachos were very tasty!

The pub had a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The restraunt served delicious hearty comfort food well prepared, well presented and served by served by equally friendly staff. If I lived in Dunedin I think I'd be a regular at The Bog.

Good food, friendly staff, nice interior with fire places. Recommended

Good atmosphere. Nice food. Ran out of wither hills sav before the crowd arrived for quizz night

Loved it, great place for a meal out!

Great atmosphere everytime I go in. All the staff are very friendly, always smiling with customers. Food is very good as well.

Excellent service from the tall blond guy, Sunday afternoon football, and no Irish music! Was here 2 hours, didn't hear U2 (the overplayed curse of Irish bars the world over) once.

As an Irish man this irish pub was a must visit for a pint of Guinness as its the furthest Irish pub from Ireland and a great pint it was as well + staff was friendly

Typical Irish pub with a Kiwi twist. Food is what you can expect from a pub, good beer. No Irish coffee.

Fantastic Thursday night Open mic night. The eclectic bunch of musicians and singers were truly refreshing and fantastically different. Very friendly vibe. Loved it

I always end up at the bog when I'm cut beyond belief so can't really remember how good it is

Love the Bog! Awesome meals! The new menu is so good, with lots of options. Great sized servings. Very very happy and would 100% recommend.

Ordered dinner in the upstairs restaurant which was amazingly quiet for a Friday night. I had fish and chips which was ok. The fish was a bit too well fried.

Staff were friendly but the entree and mains turned up at the same time. Calamari was great. Guiness Pie was average. Chicken Filo great. Steak overcooked sadly. Band came on a 9 got the crowd going good

The food and drinks are great. Be warned, when ordering a meal, they are large and very filling. My last visit was for their Monday night quiz night and the quiz master was good and keep the evening entertaining. The only thing that could be improved is more screens around the bar for use during the quiz.

Couple drinks in the bar, looked old & quint, toilets were clean which says s lot to me. Bar men were helpful when ordering drinks & efficient. Meet a couple nice Aussies in the bar and had wee chat.

Great place. Plenty of customers and a good breakfast for the football/rugby!

Monday, restaurant upstairs was closed so we ate our food in ground floor bar area. Service and food was of good standard, very enjoyable, thank you.

Amazing night, the chefs are incredible and yes they throw some food for you to catch, but you won't get dirty. Fed and entertained for a very reasonable price. We had a great night.

Mean quiz on Monday nights. Great staff, great variety of drinks and cool atmosphere. Pickle

Great food, generous portions, friendly staff. A classic pub grub style dining experience.

Great food and good Guinness

Great bar, great atmosphere. Nice food.

A tried and true place that knows what it is. I.e. standard Irish themed pub that has sport (UFC this time) playing, basic beer selection on tap, classic food like roasts and sticky date pudding (I had the chicken salad and mate had roast, both good), and pub quizzes.

Went to the Big last night with my daughter. 5 stars for the food, ambience,price and service. If you want a hearty meal a cold beer go to the bog

Fun place, great service, very nice bartenders. As someone who's a fan of cocktails it's probably not the best place to get the kind of alcohol I enjoy, but it's a good place and I highly recommend it. The fries are good too.

Possibly one of my fave places to visit, great food, great staff and a great atmosphere. Go there for the occasional pint and yarn with the awesome hairy bartender, top bloke.

Good beer, good chips and great staff. A true Dunedin icon.

Great pub nice staff

Enjoyed our evening here, would certainly recommend visiting

Friendly staff and good bar food selection.

Great pub that hosts quiz night on Mondays and open mic on Tuesdays. Great wedges and fries, but as a Canadian I would recommend not trying the poutine. It's just wrong.

Great hearty meal, as I'd expect in such an Irish looking pub, we all enjoyed our meals, 5 visting from Tassie. We stirred up the staff and they stirred us up, we'll be back next time we're over.👍😁

This place is so Irish, that I am pretty sure its a requirement that you have an accent or Guinness flows through your veins to work here! Nah, but awesome atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. Upstairs dining is a treat, outdoor smoking area and pokies for the wild at heart. This place definitely knows how to throw a party though. A cheeky d floor is known to erupt on occasions. Quiz nights ect there is always something going on here! #loveyourlocal

Friendly staff with great customer service. Meals were prompt and very delicious! Upstairs is nice and quiet which is perfect for a sit down meal :)

Great music on Friday Night and went until 3am! However, I returned on Saturday Night (21st April 2018) and the pub was closed 10pm. What kind of pub closes so early on a Saturday night??? No music. Very disappointed with Saturday night. Wasted a good night for me.

Very pleasant place for a drink. Nice food and very friendly staff. Fully recommend.

Wonderful large menu with lots of Yummy choices. Excellent service and Great value for money and great portions!

I had the Doorstop Melt, but as I am not keen on salad they gave me vegetables in place, my wife had the daily special of Orange Roughy. We were both suitable full after our meals, for me a welcome pint of Kilkenny helped too ! The staff were friendly.

Great bar, great staff, great atmosphere. Love to go in for a quick pint and a yarn on the way home from work.

Not too busy and not too quiet. Good mix of patrons. Chilled and friendly atmosphere. Food at bar a bit pricy and not much range. Restaurant food upstairs is very good.

Great venue, went upstairs for a meal which was GREAT, only thing was aircon was on and had to ask to turn off as it was cold and the bar needs a good cleaning and dust!!!

Lamb shanks..... Amazing!

a lively typical traditional irish pub with long bar, beers, food, at times live music and quiz nights.was packed with Lions and all black fans for recent rugby creating a gr8 atmosphere

Good too see a traditional Dunedin pub still operating.

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with personable barstaff, fine enough poutine to pout(ine) Canada in their place, as well as a great quiz night every Monday.

This is one of my favourite pubs in Dunedin. It's handy, reasonably priced and I love the general feel. Got to go at least once on St. Patty's Day!

Great service, the bar staff are very knowledgeable about whiskey. It was a lively fun atmosphere, and the band was pretty cool too

Traditional old style pub with a great choice of drinks and food and live entertainment, excellent place for a night out

Not the best seating options for dining, upstairs seems to be closed quote a lot of the time

Dinner here was fantastic....cooked well and nicely presented!! Staff were accommodating with allergy issue (gluten intolerant).

Booked the top floor out for my 21st. Awesome service, great atmosphere and some deadly bartending skills. 11/10 would recommend.

Great service, good fun, music very loud

Had an entertaining few hours listening to live music. Atmosphere great. Bar staff welcoming.

Interesting atmosphere, great staff, reasonably priced Guinness!

Quiet pub which is a shame as it could have a great vibe.

Great bar with a good selection of meals and snacks. There is an event on most nights of the week including a well contested quiz night once a week

This place is so chilled out, fantastic mixed age group venue, listened to an alternative rock/metal/prog rock concert there. Was somthing else!

Bar with a good vibe. Frequent for quiz nights. the MC has good chat and jugs and snacks are good value.

Good Irish pub with a bit better than usual food. Cheesecake is usually a winner so try it.
