Aro - Upper Hutt

Visited on a Sunday for lunch as a big family group 5 adults, 4 kids, and had a great time! The service was exceptional; friendly and attentive staff, got drinks order done and received quickly and checked in often. Food came out pretty fast, was hot, fresh and delicious. Nothing too flash, but exactly what it promises. We got a selection at the table of pizzas (chicken, and pepperoni), chicken burger, pulled pork burger, kids nuggets and kids burger. Everyone was very happy with their food. Nice to see they have a specific kids menu, as some of the other bars don't. They also have highchairs available and a changing table in the bathroom. Kids were made to feel very welcome. Was also nice and toasty and warm on a cold day! Will definitely be back!

The food was ok, but the service was exceptional. One request was accommodated with a smile and a little bit of extra service was provided. The staff were great. The beer and the gin were delicious and refreshing

Ok, first off... it's Te Aro Brewing. in Brewtown. of course the beers are going to be good. a surprisingly solid cocktails menu too, though. food menu was quite nice, many items i'd be excited to try a rare thing in my experience. opted for the Caesar salad, was quite nice, thought the egg was a bit odd but it worked, almost perfectly cooked, too. however there was a considerable lack of dressing, so i was eating mainly dry salad, bummer. pork belly bites have an AMAZING sauce on them, but were a little overcooked and chewy. mother in law liked her tomato basil pasta but said it was a bit dry, and father in law said his terakihi was overdone. i'm chalking it up to it being busy with several large groups (including ours), so i'll definitely give it another try because there's quite a bit of promise, and the flavors are really rather good.

Been here a couple of times for work functions and enjoyed both times. Beer is great, food is awesome, and that roaring fire is a delight in winter. Also open on on Mondays!

A much smaller bar than some of the others at Brewtown, but far better service than Wild Kiwi with food equally as good. The staff here are actually competent, friendly, well presented and don't argue amongst themselves in front of customers. Would recommend this place for a get to together or a few casual drinks.
