New Plymouth bars do not disappoint. With everything from microbreweries and neighbourly joints to wine bars and cozy lounges making great pours, there is certainly something for everyone. 

Located in a town that combines the best of ocean, country, city and creativity, bars in New Plymouth know how to rehydrate both visitors and locals alike. For an afternoon excursion, you could take yourself and your mates to a brewing company inside an industrial art deco warehouse for some good brews and bites. Or, if you want a late-night place to settle in, take your crew to a central city wine bar for fine wines and some super snug ambience. Not only are the drinks on point, but New Plymouth bars are also well-versed in lining stomachs – with pizza pairings, yakitori delights and much more. 

So whether you’re into a classy cocktail in the city or something hoppy and unique at a family-friendly brewery, make sure you pay a visit to the array of bars New Plymouth has to offer.
