No Kiwi town would be without a great pub or three, and Rotorua is no exception. The very popular Eat Streat epitomises pub life with several excellent eateries that provide not only a friendly, laid-back pub atmosphere, but vast beverage selections – many serving up Rotorua-crafted beers and wines – plus great menus and live entertainment, too.
Eat Streat isn’t the only place to find pubs and bars. Rotorua is a lively place to enjoy a pint or two while watching your favourite sport or catching up with mates and making new ones.
