J. D.

Great eclectic decor. Guy opened early for us, lit large log fire, turned on pretty lights. Can be opened up to outdoors. Only there for one drink so don't know how it does, but I'd go there again, for sure.

C.

Great place with life music. Good food and super tasty beer. Staff is friendly and the life music is awesome.

N. W.

Who doesn't love a plane in the middle of the bar? Great staff and interesting bands playing. Highly recommend.

Awesome place - spent a couple of hours looking around and was amazed by this place. Watched Smash Palace years ago so was on the bucket list of things to do. Was not disappointed. Would definitely go again.

N. S.

Great atmosphere, awesome staff. The best bar in Gizzy for live music and a good night out

D. K.

Great prices, decent portions and good music. The bar also has a bloody plane on the roof! Not to mention the amazing assortment of cool, weird and out there decorations inside. Great yarns as well.

G. G.

Best pub in NZ! Love the querky decor.

W. W.

Great venue for functions up to a few hundred great pub live bands most weeks

t. f.

A really fun bar. Friday nights are 'Build a Band and there are clearly some seasoned musicians around town. Lots of great performances and a happy vibe. We came early and it was busy and only got busier in the night. Good prices on beer and such cool and tacky decor. I would definitely come back.

J. G.

Smash Palace is a Gizzy icon and a must visit for holiday makers. It is very quirky and provides a space for local musicians, singers and Line dancers...very relaxed!

R. “. M. M.

Place was interesting, a much need to see at least for one drink. Wish we could have stayed for more live music. Friendly service.

J.

Brilliant vibe and staff. A must go to if in town!!

M. M.

A fine establishment with friendly staff and a decent selection of beers. Visited for Smash Fest, great venue for such a thing. Would visit again for sure.

T. A. F.

Great place to get together with others and sing on a Tuesday night with a very talented pub owner and musician.

G. M.

Great pint. Awesome hot chips. Pop in for a beer if you are passing, its worth a look around

V. T.

v. c.

A. R.

Great place, interesting ambient, nice to see that the guys treat their regulars preferentially. Food is OK, beer affordable and the selection not too small.

L. P.

Awesome place to visit. House band weren't too bad either. Was my first visit there and I would go again

B. G.

Daryl and he crew are so welcoming. They remember a face and a name and your drink. Food is cheap and there are vegan/Vegetarian options. Prices reasonable for drinks and a huge range of beers on tap. My favorite gay-friendly bar in Gisborne. Handle night on Wednesdays to win a bar tab or a jackpot. Thursday nite Build-a-band is a chill-out way to have a few beers and listen to live sounds or get up on stage.

М. А.

Great atmosphere! Nice drinks and staff! Must see in Gisborne!

J. R.

Cool venue, friendly staff, live music. I've moved internationally but returned whilst on holiday and was impressed with the improvements that have been made. Lighter, cleaner, better vibe. Keep it up!

The business

A.

(Translated) The atmosphere is just awesome even on a quiet day like a tuesday. Everything is there to satisfy you if you like the original places. The beverage: a choice of varied beers between local beers and ciders but also more traditional. The music: You can listen to vinyl by the fire and fondle Dash the old cat bar. The framework: Pein of objects of recovery constitute a whole heteroclite hyper vintage really nice! The service: Owner Darryl is adorable and takes the time to explain each of his products and if you are lucky Apparently Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday there are bullocks where everyone can come to play and it's worth more. (Original) L'ambiance est juste super géniale même pendant un jour calme comme un mardi. Tout est réuni pour vous satisfaire si vous aimez les endroits originaux. La boisson: un choix de boissons variées entre bières et cidres locaux mais aussi plus classiques. La musique: Vous pourrez écouter des vinyles au coin du feu et caresser Dash le vieux chat du bar. Le cadre: Pein d'objets de récup constituent un ensemble hétéroclite hyper vintage vraiment sympa! Le service: Le propriétaire Darryl est adorable et prend le temps de vous expliquer chacun de ses produits et si vous avez de la chance Apparemment le mercredi, samedi et dimanche il y a des boeufs ou chacun peut venir jouer et ça vaut encore plus le détour.
