Mac's Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar

In the heart of Hamilton, Waikato, Mac's Steakhouse and Cocktail Bar brings a lively, family-friendly swagger to the classic steakhouse. With a focus on prime cuts and a great, fun atmosphere, this is the kind of place where the grill’s sizzle sets the tempo and service keeps things breezy from first pour to last bite.

The kitchen leans into bold, comforting flavours, pairing quality meats with fresh local touches. An Angus beef sirloin lets the beef do the talking, while a honey soya glazed pork belly adds savoury-sweet gloss over garlic mash and seasonal greens. Starters keep things crisp and sociable — think crispy salt and pepper squid with lemon and aioli, or warm ciabatta slicked with garlic butter and dukkah spice.

Sweet tooths are well looked after, from a warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream to the indulgent Oreo Waffle Sunday, a Belgium waffle lavishly dressed in chocolate, caramel and berry compote. With boutique New Zealand wines and cocktails at the bar, it suits date nights, family catch-ups and celebrations alike. Make a night of it — and let the good times marinate.
