Reviews of Wonder Horse

J.

Delicious cocktails and nice friendly staff. Cocktails were so good I forgot to take any photos! Definitely recommend checking them out for a drink or two. Eggplant dip with pita breads was delicious and a great price.

F.

Excellent hospitality, we felt right at home. Lovely staff and great drinks. Excellent experience even in covid traffic light level red.

D.

Great cocktails. Always a nice beer on tap. Friendly staff. Very limited, but nice food options (don't go for dinner). One of only a few good places in Hamilton to go for a high quality drink.

S.

Came here mid Saturday evening for a drink after dinner down the road. Great little place and cost atmosphere, Also seating upstairs. Tucked Fien a small driveway off of Victoria Street. I had a Amaretto sour and friend had gin,lime and Soda. My drink was nice, but didn’t have a strong taste of Amaretto which I would normally expect, but mixed well. Gin lime and soda, unsure if the guy was new, but seemed confused about request for pink gin, and asked for lime cordial but only had lime slices. Normally this is served on a large glass, but was in a short glass and very strong with little flavour. Would come here again, and hope a little better next time.

B.

Great drinks as always - Alex and the team always have great recommendations. The bouncer was an absolute legend last Saturday!

K.

Outstanding cocktails. The kind of place where you can tell the bartender how you are feeling that day and they will craft you just the right drink to suit your mood. Vibrant and quirky and just a perfect little corner down a back alley.

R.

Great place for your night out. Get socialized with every one on this great bar. You will enjoy the whisky tasting where they will give 8 different types of whisky starting from low range of alchol to the high one. Absolutely phenomenal and you will enjoy it. Staffs are very friendly and you will definitely have a great time on Friday and Saturday night!!

C.

Best cocktails in Hamilton. Great mixes with plenty of flavour and strength. Awesome atmosphere with cosy seating and well suited music. Tasty bar snacks to soak up the spirits. Staff are friendly and professional. Great night out at Wonder Horse.

S.

Cool place. Fantastic cocktail makers- just yum, nice vibe

M.

Our first visit here early Saturday night. Excellent service with good knowledge and suggestions of whiskeys we might like. Seated at bar was more comfortable than low couches and enabled good conversation with staff. Probably being there just after opening suited us well as bar wasn't crowded so there was time to talk and share information with us.

T.

Significantly a notch above other bars and nightclubs along Victoria Street. $16-$20 cocktails with spectacular music selection and super friendly employees. Go there when you're in need of a break from hearing Wagon Wheel and sweaty dance floors 😥

R.

Excellent cocktail bar in a unique location. Most of my visits here have been to partake in the whisky nights. Each time they bring a new range of six different incredible whiskies to try. Alex offers an informative briefing before the tasting of each whisky which helps establish their uniqueness. Other than the whisky night, the cocktails are fantastic. All made with higher quality liqueurs and made to perfection. Would highly recommend.

p.

Fantastic vibe, friendly staff and tasty menu items. A must do in Hamilton.

H.

Alex has stunned us tonight with an array of sublimely crafted cocktails. A true aficionado and master of his craft. Great craic too. My first time at Wonder Horse (having heard great things) did not disappoint. In fact, it blew me away.

s.

Loved the cocktails and the ambience grows on you after a couple of drinks. A perfect hangout spot for your squad. Can definitely get hammered down here..

M.

Awesome atmosphere. Amazing bartenders. Very attentive and detailed. Will definitely return again on a quieter night to appreciate the venue to the fullest. Thanks guys.

E.

A true gem. Hamilton is so lucky to have this cocktail bar

m.

Best place in town with the yummiest drinks. Last time I was there I got so drunk and had fights with my friend on the road drunk drove home to my girlfriend and was histerical about my situation. I was stressed. Drunk. But well looked after by the staff

J.

Try to go every month for their whiskey tasting. It's always a highlight of every month. Huge whiskey selection. The cocktails are the best in town. Great atmosphere inside the place. Is one of the few must do things in Hamilton (my opinion)

M.

Great bar and staff pity about covid restrictions.

M.

Shhhh dont tell everyone this is an amazing little hidden bar. No cocktail menu but they are slinging out some serious cocktails here. My fav bar now.

C.

Great cocktails, super cute decor

Z.

Great staff that are very approachable. Drinks are perfect! 10/10 recommended

L.

Excellent vibes for my vice. Great drinks

J.

Great customer service and decent cocktails

W.

Hidden gem of Hamilton! Great location for a social drink. Bar staff are top notch and viewing platform to watch the performing art of cocktail making is a great feature. Food is simple but you don't come here for that!

D.

Awesome cocktails and great vibe and music

A.

The bar staff are great, thoroughly into the craft and so an excellent job. Selection of spirits, whisk(e)y's is quite extensive, the cocktail menu is small but they can make many more to order. Only downside is it can get really loud inside so you end up being unable to have a conversation.

Q.

Great cocktail bar in Hamilton. A little tricky to find, but it's cozy ambience and friendly and skillful bartenders are worth the effort. Nibbles were surprisingly good as well, particularly enjoyed the Blue Cheese Deep Fried Wonton!

N.

We love Wonder Horse. Alex and the team are awesome. Our evenings out will always start and/or end here. Also, Whisky Club. Thanks Alex and team. We appreciate you!

S.

Always enjoy coming here for a late night cocktail, or 2. They know how to mix a great drink, love the music selection and always a good vibe

G.

This place is awesome. They make really interesting cocktails - you can ask for whatever you want made. The staff are creative and will come up with something interesting. A favourite of mine is the lemon meringue cocktail - delicious! This establishment is classy and comfortable.

A.

Awesome selection of cocktails! Something to satisfy any craving. Even a decent selection of craft beers available. Awesome vibe in the place. Staff are always friendly even when busy and definitely know their stuff.

K.

Tell the barman you poison and he'll make a cocktail 🍸 to your taste. Great place

J.

The go-to cocktail bar in Hamilton. Gets crazy busy (shows how go the place is), but not much fun waiting for 30 mins to order a drink.

I.

This place is so funky! A little bit hipster - Excellent coctails made on demand! Great selection of music/records - love the place

N.

Great drinks, brilliant atmosphere and excellent service. I cannot recommend this place enough

N.

If you want to really enjoy a cocktail! The small place hidden away down the allyway. Very secluded. Love the spicy rob roy Has a kick. So good to taste and smooth to drink. The Burger was bite sized but filling. Will be back. A place to drink and not get drunk (but, you will get drunk)

H.

Hamilton's hidden secret! Very cool and great atmosphere. Staff very friendly and knowledgable. Great informative cocktail choice, beer on tap, bottles in tge fridge - probably some other stuff too but didnt look as I was just happy to be there drinking a Kola Sour! So pleased we found this place. Can have a quiet corner for catch ups/serious business or take a seat upstairs or else chill by the bar and admire their uber high shelf of spirits!

B.

Simply the best bar in Hamilton. Known for the cocktails, but there is also a good beer selection and to many whiskeys and spirits to count. Can not recommend highly enough.

S.

Excellent place for a drink, lovely crowd and very knowledge and friendly staff :)

N.

Great drinks with attractive well-dressed staff. Vibe is loungey and fairly chill. Crowd is fairly cliquey hipster type. Dress reasonably well if you're going in and prepare to spend a bit as the drinks are as expensive as they appear to be.

H.

This was fun! A lot of people on a Friday night at about 11pm though, be prepared for a crowd and pricey drinks. But they taste good and we enjoyed the music (circa 90s music). Nice bar staff.

B.

This has been a favorite spot for years. Now I'm back in Hamilton and so pleased that the quality and passion for great cocktails is still stong! Extensive cocktail menu, but they will also fix you something to suit your mood. The blue cheese wontons are awesome midnight snack.

B.

A hidden gem with great variety of cocktails. Cozy.

C.

Had an awesome night out here - my partner often raves about how this bar trumps anything in Auckland City I like how it's relatively hidden with the entrance tucked into the ally

t.

Great place for a quiet drink 🍸 and good music. Very enjoyable atmosphere.

D.

Great drinks, awesome staff! Very welcoming

A.

What a great place to celebrate anything or just relax with a good drink in a very enjoyable atmosphere! It took me while to find the place as it is a bit "hidden away" in a side street. I highly recommend coming in here.

M.

I like its style. The bartenders look good and like they are enjoying themselves. The owner seems to really enjoy making up drinks, I had a lovely one made up upon request. =)

O.

Hipster bar with cool homely feel. Good variety in drinks. Only stayed for 1 drink though.

J.

Had two delicious cocktails at this place, the second was custom made with their mezcal! Don't be afraid to ask for something off the cuff, these guys know what they are doin! Cheers

J.

Best Espresso Martini in NZ - they do it old school here with no messing and it's all the better for it. Best bar in Hamilton by a country mile.

J.

Redefining Cocktail Lounge. Probably the most swanky place in Hamilton but not pretentious at all. Cool relaxed vibe. I highly recommend the "Horse & Co" cocktail
