Cosy brick interiors with a sun filled, glass enclosed courtyard, we’ve got a sandpit for the kids, live sport for the fans and a new exciting menu for the foodies. The Springs Tavern is family friendly, dog friendly, and just generally friendly. We can’t wait to be part of the neighbourhood.

Goode Brothers New Lynn is the perfect place to catch all the live sporting action. With multiple large screens throughout the venue, a lively atmosphere, great food, cold drinks, and plenty of space for groups, there's no better spot to cheer on your team.

Gather your mates, grab a pizza and a pint, and enjoy the game in a fun, family-friendly setting.

There’s something about live sport at The Merchant Pub Co. The roar when a late penalty goes over, the collective heartbreak of a missed conversion, pints landing on tables as the replay rolls across seven widescreen TVs and our massive projector screen. Located at Westfield Albany, The Merchant blends world-class pub atmosphere with bloody good Kiwi hospitality — the kind of place where one drink turns into three and 'just watching the first half' rarely goes to plan. Grab the crew, settle in and lock in for everything from Super Rugby and league to football and finals nights. Great food, cold beers, big screens and a room full of people riding every moment with you — exactly how live sport should be watched.
