GIANT BREWING — Restaurant in North Island

My partner and I stopped into Giant Brewing Company in Havelock North for a quick beer — our first time visiting — and we were blown away by how much we enjoyed it. It was busy, which is always a good sign, but the atmosphere still felt relaxed, comfortable, and welcoming.

My partner is pretty new to different types of beer, so I walked him through the options on tap, and we ended up trying a couple we really enjoyed. The overall vibe, the quality of the beer, and the energy of the space made it a memorable experience… so memorable that almost a year later, I still think about it and had to finally write this review!

Huge shout-out to Giant Brewing Company — whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. The staff were great, the environment was fantastic, and it was just one of those places where you immediately feel at home.

We’ll be back in December or January, and we will definitely be stopping by again. Thank you for creating such a great...

Very simple but done well from decor, service,...

I recently hosted a private event at Giant Brewery, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, everything went smoothly. The communication was clear and quick, making the planning process so easy. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They were very careful to follow all our requests and ensured the event ran perfectly. The drinks and food were top-notch, while everyone had a great time. Highly recommend Giant Brewery...
