Rhino's Ski Shack

European après lifestyle with a kiwi twist, Rhino's Ski Shack takes the party off the slopes and into downtown Queenstown.

Being a pro-skier is not a prerequisite. Indeed, no one can resist its hip-hop-happening vibe and selection of relaxed European eats. Shimmy on down for some cosy grub at their communal tables that wouldn't be out of place in a German Keller, order in a tankard of beer and watch the night run away with you once the DJ starts spinning the catchiest beats in town and the whole house joins into party. Whatever the weather, join the crew and emerge in the early hours ready for another day on the slopes, or just for a well-deserved nap!

Before then though, fill up on seasonal eats that'll see you through the year. Get your mates around a classic pizza with anything from buffalo chicken, hot pastrami and wild mushrooms, or go wild for a beef, southern fried chicken or grilled eggplant burger. And when it comes to fries, the adventure has only just begun. From Tokyo style with Japanese gravy and wasabi mayo to lashings of beef gravy and curds, you'll see that fries aren't just a bowl of yummy potatoes, they're an institution.

Wash it down with some seasonal warmers. Right now you'll find mulled wine and hot buttered rum spicing up the winter evenings, as well as permanent characters like Emersons, Mac's, Speights and Rhino's own draught beer. Keep them coming and see where Rhino's tunes take you...
