if you want to meet locales at traditional kiwi pub Dean the owner is a cool dude. Great pub food, atmosphere , don't take anything personal , especially if the one and only hobbit Richie is your company. Swell Rocks if you want the real deal.
Cheapest drinks in Mapua
Unprofessional outfit. Appears to bring a seedy underbelly to the wharf area.
Asked if it's OK to sit outside. All good. Uncomfortable bench outside. Tables were very dirty. There was a waitress playing with her phone and who supposedly was the owner was walking around. Even though we were the only guests we still didn't get served after 15 mins
just awesome
