The venue operates as a bar, and its 4.3 out of 5 rating from 148 reviews points to a busy, established local.

First-time visitors should expect a pub-style setting where the bar is the centre of the room. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country.
