Muskets and Moonshine

Serving great meals from the Southern USA with that unmistakable Kiwi twist, head to Muskets and Moonshine for a chilled one. Just like its name, everything about this place is playful and fun. Chairs come in a gorgeous muddle of different shapes and size

From the get go it was an awesome restaurant! Our name was already on the table (in contrast to other First Table restaurants who coincidentally, told us our table wasn't ready and would we like some drinks while we wait). Our waitress Drew was warm and welcoming, she also told us a bit about the place, the books they have and offered to change the TV to a dufferent sport that my husband follows. The food was great and there was lots of it. We went with a share platter, our favourite was the brisket burger and battered jalapenos. The espresso moontini is also a must have here. We had dessert by the fire (on a cozy vintage couch) while I read one of the vintage books they had on the shelf. The triple chocolate brownie was brilliant. I'll be back just to read more of their books!Thank you for taking the time to write us such a great review! Druzie will be very happy with the personal mention!

Smiths- Craft Beer House

Reviewed By 214irism

Came in here during a rainy day in Queenstown to grab some beers and relax. What a great selection of beers and such a nice, relaxing atmosphere with friendly service. We weren’t very hungry and not planning on eating but they had a great selection of food so we ordered loaded fries to nibble on. We were pleasantly surprised how big the portion was and shared as a family of 4 while my husband and I finished our beers. Would return if we ever came back to Queenstown and grab a full meal with our beers next time. Definitely a great place for beer lovers who want to try something they haven’t had before and a perfect place for a rainy day or after an action-filled day to unwind.

Dropped in for some pre-dinner drinks and was very pleased with the bar. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Table could have used a decent wipe.
