Brothers Beer Orakei

Was ok. A bit loud but food was tasty.

We had a great time! Service and food were fabulous and we will definitely be back.

Overall a great experience with great food. So much meat to choose from! Will have to return to try the remainder of the menu. The beer is also exceptional. The layed back pub vibe also very nice addition to overall experience.

Awesome service, awesome food, awesome vibe! We will be back for sure!

First time using the First table and couldn't have chosen a better place to start. We had a shared meal, so we could try different things, all delicious. I need to come back for the burgers.

Friendly service and the food is simple but really yum!! Kids also had fun in the kids play area. Will definitely be back.

Good food and good service... very nice!

Sunday lunch at Brothers Beer - sharing style plates which were all delicious. A nice casual setting with friendly service. Our only bug was the chairs are all high stools which do get uncomfortable after a while!

Of course the Beer is excellent but we went for the food and were not disappointed. Lamb Ribs - very good, full of smokey goodness. Beef Brisket Sandwich - exceptionally good but would have liked more chipotle but thats a personal preference. I didn’t eat the sausage but it was pronounced very good along with an excellent Caesar Salad. The large Mac’n’Cheese was also a hit. We couldn’t finish the Naked Skins nor the Loaded skins ( we had the burnt ends) which were seriously yum but it was only because we had over ordered.
Atmosphere is great, decor is relaxed but fun and the staff are very friendly.
Would definitely recommend.

Simple and easy. Good pub type food with ribs, wings etc. Order at the bar and no fuss

Great first table for four hungry people after work. We had the ribs, lamb and sausage, along with the Caesar salad and slaw, plus the yummy potato skins. Washed down with a good selection of beers and wines. Would recommend.

Better service would help

The staff were super accommodating and friendly! Thanks team!

Very friendly. Excellent tasty food. Great entertainment packs for the kids which was a bonus. Will definitely come back!

Very pleasant lunch. Only complaint was that the ribs were too chewy. Otherwise just fine.

Staff was friendly and venue was great. Portion sizes were very small and if I wasn’t getting 50% off I would’ve been quite grumpy. Overall not bad but not great.

Very eclectic restaurant with BBQ tables, long high benches, and booths, and several mats on the floor. We weren't sure what to do when first entering, as no one greets you. We sat down at one of the tables and the menus were in a holder on the table. Good range of food. You need to go to the counter to order food and drinks. We had pulled pork (very spicy), beef brisket (cold), green beans, naked skins (yum), seasonal salad (been sitting in dressing too long. The food was nice, but the brisket seemed like it had been slow cooked some time ago then slightly heated before service, so it was too cold. Also had cheese board which was really nice. Overall came out feeling full; good casual place for drinks and/or dinner.

This place has a great vibe. The staff are really friendly. The menu is quite unique. Interesting vegetable dishes as well as catering for meat lovers. Best of all its dog friendly which is the coolest thing.

We enjoyed fantastic and friendly service along with delicious food. So happy that they have added lots of vegetarian options. We feasted.

Great place for a group to share great pub food

We had the brisket, wings, slaw and tatertop poutine. Everything was delicious! Looking forward to trying more of the many next time round

Great food and beer selection with great staff. Will definitely be back.

Walking into Brothers Beer on a cold and blustery night was like coming home. There’s lots of retro carpets and decor, and a a real warmth about it. A guy playing the guitar & singing topped off the atmosphere.

We ordered the winter superfood salad and a selection of meats, the baked beans and the green beans. Everything was so delicious. I know it’s all about the meat at Brothers, but those baked beans, I could eat the whole bowl. I’d definitely return.

The food was delicious with good options in the kids' menu too.A great range of craft beer and other drinks and friendly, efficient service.

Wasn’t a totally unpleasant experience, it’s a quirky environment, more like a pub warehouse. There’s lots of craft beer selections. You read the menu then got to the bar to order. We heard the kitchen bell go indicating food is ready but the waitress continued serving beer for quite sometime. Finally she served our food which of course was luke warm. The food was ok, some nice flavours. The waitress was pleasant however she was busy and seemed to be flying solo. Would visit again for beer only.

Great variety of food and all at such a reasonable price (even before first table special). Slightly soggy buns in the sandwiches but must tries are the fried chicken and naked skins.

Wonderful experience - food amazing and dog friendly, the team even brought my doggie a bowl of water highly recommend... I’ll be back for sure :)

Loved the food, especially the baked beans and the lamb. Great decor. A perfect place for a weekend lunch with the family.

Loved it! Food and service was great! Good vibes too. Will be back again for sure!

We had a lovely time at the restaurant, the food was great and Victor our waiter was awesome! He was very attentive and understanding when we accidentally broke a glass. Would highly recommend!

Great service - especially around food allergies. Plus the kids highly rated the potato skins! Thanks

Awesome food and beers.
Great service

Great food and even better beers. try the sausages with esspresso BBQ dip.

Most amazing food ever and the beer is so good! I will definitely be back to buy 1L bottles of craft beer as well.

Excellent! Great local and worth travelling to for the unique location in Orakei Bay Village! Had been before but they have expanded with their new signature menu of slow cooked southern BBQ meat and new, private booth seating. So improved! All the meats we tried were mouthwateringly excellent and the best salad - Juke Slaw was so good! Also do not miss the Mac n Cheese. Great venue, food and these guys really capture their market brilliantly! Thanks and will most definately be back to eat our way through the rest of the menu!!!! PS for those with kids - very kid friendly!

Food came out quite quickly, loads of variety

Great meal, new menu is a bit different..
