ABOUT US

Our Mission is simple. Source the finest products from craftspeople who share the same passion for quality and flavour, and serve them in a warm, relaxed and friendly environment. 

The philosophy of The Barrel Room has stayed strong since we opened our doors in 2018. The Barrel Room is not just a destination, but a story of discoveries and experiences as we continue to bring our customers variety, choice and flavour from New Zealand and around the world. The goal is to continually evolve, searching out the new while challenging the old in our quest for finely crafted things.

“Carolyn, the long-time wine enthusiast, and Stewart, the beer buff and single malt admirer, are the husband and wife duo who first had the idea of opening a place with something for everyone – wine, beer, spirit or food lovers. And so, the Barrel Room was born.”

Despite his strong allegiance as co-owner of Te Aro Brewing Co, a Wellington craft brewery, Stewart is happy to recommend a beer best suited to your tastes from one of our 15 independent taps. With so many taps to keep up with, you can find an up-to-date list of what we’re pouring on our beer menu or through the Untappd App.

Carolyn brings her worldly wine expertise to Tauranga’s CBD, offering over 60 wines with the Coravin Wine System that allows us to offer such a variety of wines by the glass. Carolyn’s wine selection is ever-changing, so there’s always something new and interesting to try.

Nicely varied drinks selection, but the food has been a touch average the last few visits. Great for after work drinks, but lots of better eating options in the area.
