Bar Edward

Situated a little out of the centre (close to the Hospital) but well worth the effort of getting there.  More of a locals bar than those in the centre and a genuine freehouse to boot!  The owner, James, is a strong supporter of SOBA and its aims.

Beers on tap include Tuatara Pilsner and Belgian Ale, Emersons Bookbinder and Pilsner plus Nallys Cider (from Invercargill).

There is a broad range of bottled beers - from the Continent there are Belgian beers such as Duvel, Chimay, Westmalle, Orval and Timmermans Framboisen plus a couple of German beers.  Other international imports include Kingfisher, Asahi, and Singha.  The range is rounded off with bottled beers from Limburg, TaaKawa, Emersons, Macs, Monteiths, Stella, Gisborne Gold etc.

Opening hours are 4 - 10pm Mon & Tue, 3 - 11pm Wed, 11am to 11pm Thu to Sat and Midday until it is not worth staying open longer (9pm-ish?) Sun.
