Emerson's Brewery in Dunedin

"Looking for a place for a late lunch before penguins and could not have guess better! Food was very good and atmosphere was superb, excellent beer. I don’t drink alcohol so I have lemon, Lime and bitters fizz. My periperi chicken was very good and tasty. I stole the best chips ever from my husband burger side!"

"An easy 5 stars and recommendation, all their wonderful pilsners are a must, water is so pure and clear along with the great brewing! All staff are so lovely and friendly the chips here are worth coming alone"

"Great beer, amazing service and friendly staff. We dropped in for the Mo-Party while down visiting from Wellington. The buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese dip were divine. Seriously....so good. Would definitely return. Thanks team!"

"Really nice spot! They have a selection of limited release beers you can try. A mixture of different seating options too! The guacamole and goat cheese sharing dishes were delicious!"

"An absolute amazing experience here. I came to eat at the restaurant for lunch and was impressed with the service, the speed the food came out and the food itself! I ordered the Korean chicken burger which was nice but a little too watery with kimchi, the thrice cooked fries (amazing) and brisket (amazing). The beers are also very nice! There's also a gift store so you can buy tee shirts, caps and beers. I'd highly recommend this place for tourists and locals. It's decently priced too especially given the quality of the food which I'd say was the best food in the South Island."

"The food here is amazing. Some really nice options from your classic burgers to some more experimental dishes. The chicken burger had beautiful fried chicken with a great balance of crispy coating and lovely moist chicken. The goats' cheese croquettes are a must-have if you love cheese. The atmosphere is really good as it combines a micro brewery feel with an amazing variety of beers and a relaxed restaurant serving delicious food. It can get pretty busy, so if you are looking for food, I would recommend booking a table in advance"

"We booked a tasting flight, from the moment we walked into the tap room the atmosphere was electric. Beautifully laid out and the decor was well thought out and transported you into another world. Our host taking us through the tasting flight was knowledgeable, we asked a lot of questions and she was able to answer them all and had an engaging personality. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The beers were fantastic and the atmosphere continued as more and more people rolled in. Didn’t try any food, but we could see the quality matched their service from scanning plated food coming out. Excellent facilities and they even had awesome merch. Will be back again and again!!"

"Recently visited here. Our host in particular, a young man named George provided exceptional service to our table. Extremely vibrant and knowledgeable, such a polite and friendly man. We felt so lucky to have him as our host for the evening, he provided wonderful suggestions for drinks. Would definitely come back here again, especially if George is our host! George contributed significantly to our time at Emerson’s, overall made our experience special"
