Drinks
Raise a glass to good times at our vibrant drink spots. Whether you prefer a beachfront bar, a vibrant brewery, or a distillery cellar door, you’ll find the perfect place to unwind and socialise. Start off with expert barista made coffee at our local roasteries, and follow it up with local craft beers, or expertly mixed cocktails while soaking in the friendly, laid-back atmosphere.
Dark Horse Espresso Garden
Located in the heart of the Sheffield Street Collective, Dark Horse Espresso Garden is fast becoming an institution for those that take their coffee seriously. Operating as both a roastery and cafe, you will find everything you need, from a quick caffeine fix to freshly roasted beans and a range of brewing gear for home.
The Roastery
Born out of a desire to roast and serve quality coffee, The Roastery is a boutique coffee roaster and espresso bar located in the upbeat industrial area in Paraparaumu. Experience laid back vibes and freshly roasted small batch coffee while enjoying a game of pinball. They also do roasting tours to cater for the serious coffee lover.
The Bond Store Distillery
The Bond Store Tasting Room takes the art of sipping spirits to a whole new level. This is not your average run-of-the-mill tasting room - oh no, it’s a flavour extravaganza. Open 6 days a week, you can call in and try out different spirits, liqueurs and cocktails, take a tour with the head distiller, or simply chill in the garden and enjoy your favourite cocktails with a platter of local artisan products. The Bond Store tasting room is also available for functions and events.
Duncan's Brewing
Owned and operated by George Duncan and Wai Familton, Duncan’s is known for their interesting beer flavour combinations.
Keep an eye out for their super popular pop-up event once a month, where the Sheffield Street warehouse fills with beer garden tables for people to sit back and enjoy the brewery’s offerings.
North End Brewery
North End Brewing crafts European-inspired beers with a natural twist right from their Waikanae brewery. Savor their refreshing brews at various Food Folk collective locations, including Salt & Wood, conveniently adjoined to the brewery, serving American style BBQ and North End Brews to dine in or take away.
