Reviews of The Old Parakao Store Cafe/Bar

A.

Called in to try their burgers. BLOODY AWESOME. Atmosphere of the Store,Cafe was laid back with just a handful of friendly locals, staff were most welcoming, decor ind vibe really works in this place, loads of memorabilia objects adorn the walls. I will definitely be heading back with a friend for a sit down meal, good music and great company.

J. S.

A truly rustic experience. Cool old cars. Vintage era, and museum age vehicle bits n pieces. Classic setting. And the only cafe/bar in the territory. A must see.

N. K.

Casual call in with usual Covid compliance. Funky interior, outside drinking den with lots of motor memorabilia. Entertaining even when empty mid day. Need an excuse roam up there again.

P. K. (.

The old Parakao store, cafe and bar is something worth visiting. Heaps of local history being the old garage with plenty of memorabilia to view. Great bar and food choices and very friendly staff. A destination for many enthusiasts. If you are lucky there may even be a band playing. If you are in this neck of the woods you must stop and take it all in.

We had a junior parakao burger and wedges. Lovely meal couldn't finish the burger would reccomend this place

Absolutely awesome pub/cafe atmosphere is fantastic and the live music was perfect. Band was followed by a open jam session which was really good. This is by far the best pub/venue in the whangarei area. It's a bit of a drive out but so worth it. Check out the vintage cars and hot rods too

One of the best "kiwiana" Cafe/Bars in the country...great food and refreshments including local " Three Mountains" beers. With an awesome collection of Vehicle and Machinery memorabilia to keep you browsing for hours ...the friendly family atmosphere at Parakao Store is something you will want to share with your friends and invite them back ..A truely magical place.

This is a down to earth Kiwi family run business. This place has an amazing collection of old memorabilia and a huge open log fire, it's like visiting a museum that serves bloody good food, coffee or a beer.
