"Unbelievable place! Been looking for a cosy pub for a while now. The roast is up there with the best roasts I've ever had. Being an English bloke that's a big statement. Nice open fire too 👌"

Tim
"Fantastic Irish Bar, with amazing food and great atmosphere. Kate was so nice and made us feel welcome from the second we came in - it felt like being back home! Can't recommend this place enough"
David
"Great spot right in the heart of Wynyard quarter, bustling and vibey! Ordered the steak based on the recommendation from the barman… was not disappointed! Cooked just right and great portion size. Fine balance on enjoyable music and it being slightly too loud… but at least it was good music and old school! Would definitely recommend 👌"
Duncan
"I have only ever been here for a drink and some dancing, this was my first time eating there and wow! Firstly the service as you walk in, amazing! Staff are wonderful. Food was so so sooooo good we had the rump steak and cheeseburger and OMG was it just packed with flavour. There was awesome live music and overall just a lovely experience. Everything was reasonably priced! We will absolutely be back 🥰"
Levi
"The most delicious and affordable place in the viaduct! The brews are local and so is the food. A perfect Mac n cheese, Caesar salad, steaks cooked to perfection and portioned nicely. Very clean. I recommend always ordering at the bar but sometimes there’s a bartender floating around to check on people."
Adrianna
"Best and biggest Sunday pub roast you will ever have, possibly even better than your Mum's. Excellent supply of trimmings - massive Yorkshires even if you don't have beef, delicious stuffing even if you don't have chicken!"
Callia
"First time here today. It's nice and warm inside seating also has outside seating which is neat. Absolutely great food and really good meal selection too. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The place is really cool itself. Would recommend this place and I'll definitely be back in the near future to try more food etc."
Theo
"Loved this place! Beautiful space, loved the big deck!! Staff were so attentive. Large enough for functions. Would go back again."
Missie
"Nice to stand in the sun on the verandah with some city views. great looking old pub, very sports orientated and good vibe. lots of indoor space, with friendly team."
Brooke
"One of my fav locals. A lot of screens, great beer selection, comfy sitting and great outdoor area. Guinness on tap is a bonus. Great vibe every UFC Sunday as well."
Dusan
"Business lunch. Great atmosphere, superb food and drinks. Will do again next meeting."
Rob
"Great spot for a lunch and pint. I had the cheeseburger and fries—loved it, very filling and tasty. A+."
Gary
"We ordered the southern fried chicken dish, onion rings and BBQ chicken burger and honestly it was some of the best food we’ve ever had! Will definitely be coming back. The service was great and our food was delivered quickly."
Jesse
"So I booked the outside deck function area for my Mum’s birthday... It was a brilliant venue overlooking the city with all the amenities you could want for such an event. The food was great—the kitchen even baked whole salmon fillets as an extra request. All the guests were super impressed! Big thanks to Brittany and Stephen who were in constant contact prior to ensure all went to plan, and to Brittany and Emily who did an awesome job looking after us on the day. I can't recommend The Cav and the team enough! If you are planning a function it ticks all the boxes."
Andy
"Really enjoyed our afternoon Christmas function I was invited to. The service was great which I was not expecting as most pubs have crap service, in my experience. Food was amazing (sliders, chips, calamari) and we sold the place out of Veuve. Was very nice."
Adam
"A group of us booked a few days earlier for the NFL. The staff were extremely accommodating with getting us set up in a prime spot, along with having the commentary playing as well. Overall a great experience, tasty food and plenty of beer."
James
"I visited the bar today for a team lunch. I ordered the habanero chicken burger and enjoyed some laughs and drinks with my colleagues. The bar has a great selection of house wines and beers, plenty of space for meetings, and they offer some exciting sports events to watch."
Sterling
"I would like to thank The Cav for providing such a great venue to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Everything was extremely well done with no problems or hassles on my part. I would definitely recommend The Cav for any function. Pricing of tasty platters was extremely good and of high quality."
