An informative and informal guide to 150 of the most interesting pubs in New Zealand, divided into North and South islands. A companion book to the successful Vineyard Visits, the book has the same design and organization, providing location and pricing guidelines as well as potted histories of the people, places and personalities associated with each of the featured pubs. Competition for selection was fierce, and some tough calls had to be made, but the 150 featured pubs have all been personally checked out by the authors. These are their selections as the best places to stop for a drink, a meal or an interesting stop over for the responsible traveler. From pubs whose histories go back to the days of the goldfields to those which have played important roles in their local communities, the characters and the ratbags are examined and the features that make each one unique are listed.
