The Cav Hotel Auckland Review

The Cavalier or Cav is a gastropub with a popular pokies gaming lounge located in 68 College Hill, Ponsonby in central Auckland. This prime location in the heart of Auckland city means that visitors are able to access the venue using the inner link and outer link buses that stop at their doorstep.

About the Cav

While the exact time the hotel was built is not known, it is thought to have been established between 1864 & 1868. Initially, the hotel was known as the Suffolk hotel though this name was later changed to the Cavalier Tavern. Like most hotel in this era, it was built of wood which has surprisingly been able to hold up for 150 years.

In 1976 the hotel was taken over by Lion Breweries who established a mini-brewery that offered craft beer. Over the years the hotel has been leased and managed by different operators. In 2014 the hotel finally changed its name from the Cavaliers Tavern to its current name; The Cav.

  • Dining & Bar Information.

Like I stated earlier the main bar highlight in this hotel has got to be the gastropub where beers are custom crafted as you see them. Apart from the ales and lagers available on order, you also get a wide selection of wines and spirit to choose from.

The dining and kitchen facilities are absolutely amazing. First, the restaurant setting is in a way that exudes a friendly and vibrant atmosphere great for dates and dinner with family. With Eugene Hamilton from Euro being the executive chef here you should only expect the most exquisite cuisine that will water your palate.

A happening evening spot is also availed for persons looking to party the night away at the hotel. Their menu specializes in soups & salads, awesome burgers, sandwiches & tacos, sides, desserts, bar snacks and their very own Cav classics like pork baby ribs, Grassy Knoll eye fillet, pan fried snapper and the must try Cav Cray and Chips of just a few.
