Reviews of Te Rapa Tavern-Sports Bar

A.

Absolutely enjoyed our lunch date out with a couple good friends. The shared lunch meals 🤤 the battered seafood dish, pork belly bites, crispy chicken nibbles doused in bbq sauce to top it off. The Garlic bread 🥰🤤 soo light. Bloody marvelous I must say. Well priced, Excellent, friendly service. Highly recommended 👍 well done.

G. S.

Who doesn't love a good bev at the tav. Staff are awesome and food is pretty good too. I recommend the tacos.

A.

Awesome clean pub, good large outside area, tables with umbrellas, 3 flat screens and heaters for winter Good screen setup inside for the races. Food looked and tasted great, good man portions for lunch! Hard to find these days. Has daily meal specials, and function room avail

E. O.

Nice, large bar. $20 lunch and a free beer are good value

R. C.

Always excellent service. Even had outside service with EFTPOS brought to table, nice touch.

D.

What a great place. Rachel who served us was so friendly, w will be back!

H. J.

Drive safe drivers...awesome girls. Thank u Trish and Letti for an awesome safe night

B. V.

Decent bar for the locals and they had 3Wolves on tap. A different $20 meal special every night and our meals were delicious. They had an issue in the kitchen so our meals took about 45 mins to come out. Thus, 4 stars.

K. B.

A very clean and welcoming bar, child friendly,happy atmosphere and the food was excellent, served very quickly after ordering,and I their idea of SMALL is different from most, none of my friends (2 larger males with a "need for a feed") or myself came anywhere near finishing our SMALL meals.

J. A.

Great place for an affordable drink and meal. The food is excellent for the price. Great service in a nice casual atmosphere

T. T.

Great place and great food and awsome staff.

M. C.

Wow how big are the meals here, had tender ribs with chips, salad and a pint for $20 and for a big guy I did struggle to eat the lot. Just amazing. The wife had fish and chips, 4 beautiful beer battered fish lots of chips and fresh salad. What a great place seemingly in the middle of nowhere. All the sports Live on a heap of screens, even in the urinal so you never miss a moment. All so tidy. 10/10

E. J.

Comfortable environment with great staff, decent food and pretty good pub deals. They always have something going on and you'll never miss a game with multiple t.vs around the place. A local with good vibes.

V. R.

Great value for money. Consistently good food. We come here regularly. Generous gurnard portions with salad and fries. The chicken burger also tasty and large chicken portion. Staff friendly. I recommend trying for a non fussy lunch or dinner.

P. H.

Food was great and well priced. Best pub in town. Greet service

S.

Staff are all great and good service

T. M.

Great food, restaurant quality with massive portions but without the price tag. Great atmosphere and great place to watch some sport or racing. Function room upstairs is also a really nice venue for any occasion

T. T.

Went there with our class, and the staff were very hospitable, really nice atmosphere, both inside and out, and the food was absolutely delicious, every single plate that was served was absolutely amazing, with those portion sizes exceeding over and above the appetites of all. Thank You for hosting us guys, will definitely return 😁😁😁

A. C.

Used to almost live in the tavern years ago ,but now live in ngaruawahia. Golf was canned cause of the weather on sat,so made a couple of phone calls, and a bunch of us descended on the tavern for an afternoon of punting and drinking. Nothing has changed from the way they run the place.keen friendly staff and spotless presentation.will definitely return

T. M.

Cool staff and a nice place for a handle and lunch

R. C.

An all round great sports bar. Really good meals. Heaps of TV's. On the weekends they even give out sausages and bread for free which is a nice touch. Have been a local at the tav for years now and never had a bad time. Staff are friendly

Awesome staff members. Well organized service. Clean bathroom facilities. Just one little negative the carpet needs some extra tlc it needs a good shampoo.

S. R.

Its friendly the staff actually chat to you and are always willing to go the extra step to make you feel welcome The free sausage or meats is awesum. It has a real homely feeling . I would say it was the best all round drinking , dining and meeting establishment in hamilton . Very family orientated . The meals are awesome and so filling .

S. T.

Ordered the gf pizza, pizza dough was under cooked and the toppings weren't the best. Went for a team outing... service was good and other peoples dishes were nice

A. B.

I enjoy going to this bar with my sister because its a place where we can go to catchup and relax over a beer have a meal, a chin wag and enjoy the evening sun as it sets outside. The atmosphere is relaxed and the punters around us are always friendly without being intrusive. The bar offers different specials every night so there is always a chance to have a good night out without costing a fortune. Then head inside for a short game of pokies then head home.

L. C.

Food, friensly professional service wonderful environment, look forward to vusiting next time I visit Hamilton

c. e.
