The Cook - North End New Zealand

Me and my friends have been to lots of gigs at the Cook, and always have the best time. As well as great music, the bar staff are so amazing, especially the manager she always looks after us and it is our favourite place to go out. Much nicer than any other bar in town.

I like the Cook, but of course I've been going there since the late 70s and it is an icon. The new owners are giving it a really good go as a music venue and good luck to them. Food is good, choices of beer are excellent, staff are friendly. Highly recommend.

Great service! Made sure we had everything we needed, checked water regularly, polite and respectful, the food was delicious had Pate for the first time, was actually delicious! steak was cooked beautifully loved the mash! Music was great cruisey as, heaps of drinks to choose from!

Great gig, good venue, felt real old school going upstairs at the Cook :

THE Scarfie pub! The Cook is a welcoming pub for students, staff, locals, and visitors. It's impossible to spend any time at The Cook without having a great time. The mood is always spirited, and the crowd is always fun. A visit to Dunedin isn't complete without a pint here. Even short-term visitors will be comfortable making The Cook their regular place while they're here!
