Brew Bar

Emerson's Brew Bar, nestled in the heart of Dunedin’s Octagon, offers a vibrant and friendly atmosphere paired with a celebration of excellent beer and delectable food. The interior is described as interesting and colourful, complementing the fast and friendly service. The menu features locally sourced ingredients and dishes crafted in-house, designed to pair perfectly with a selection of beers from the Lion Brewery portfolio.

The menu reads like a foodie’s dream. For starters, there’s a crispy squid which is served with a tangy tamarind caramel sauce and soy toasted seeds. Next, think succulent prawn twisters served with sriracha sauce. For mains, the only sensible options are a beer-battered fish and chips combo served with lettuce, house salad and homemade tartare sauce, or the mouthwatering 250g ribeye topped with creamy garlic butter and accompanied by roast potatoes and the house salad. There are also some veggie options on the menu like the crunchy chickpea and roasted peanut salad.

Finally, don’t forget dessert – Emerson's Brew Bar offers a doughnut served with biscuit crumb and salted caramel ice cream that’s worth saving space for. Alternatively, indulge with a mini chocolate fondant trio, served with red raspberries and more salted caramel ice cream. Bliss.
