Tai Tapu Hotel - The Tap
The vibe at The Tap is like no other, its uniqueness has people coming from all over to nab a part of the experience. Built in 1856 it's one of the oldest pubs still standing in NZ with so much history that you can feel it. Nestled at the foot of the port hills in the picturesque Tai Tapu Country Side and when you walk out to the back beer garden on a Saturday or Sunday in the Summer months then you really see where the magic happens and why the crowds are coming from afar.
It’s one of Canterbury’s most popular venues hosting live music; concerts; weddings; parties; conferences; weekly quiz nights, wine/beer and food matching evenings, meal deals and we even hosted Radio Hauraki's LIVE Backbone show for the Heartland Chip launch right on our back deck.
It doesn't end there, amongst the beautiful grounds of our historic Tai Tapu Hotel is also a lovely private function venue with it's exclusive bar, patio and lawn.
