A delightful new edition on the strip of Takapuna Beach’s bars and cafes is Mac’s Brew Bar at 134 Hurstmere Road. Thread attended the opening for a pint or two – of course- of Mac’s…

I was extremely impressed when I walked through the doors at the opening on Tuesday 10 August 2010 of the bar formerly known as Rtoto’s. There wasn’t an inch of construction left that even resembled the previous establishment.

Instead, it was a new, fresh upmarket bar and restaurant complete with a glass atrium in which to wind down after work with one of Mac’s famous brews or a glass of wine from their fantastic selection. Mac’s is open for lunch and dinner from 11.30am til late.

Old villa Doors from around the shore transformed into a feature piece behind the bar.

An eclectic selection of vintage plates creates retro flair and plenty of kitsch style.

Leading an immaculately uniformed team of bar and wait staff is Scott Mitchell, General Manager, who was welcoming and helpful.

Congratulations to owners Dean Lodge and Kevin Schwass on their new hit. See you there over a pint sometime soon!
