Mussel Inn - Takaka

Iconic Golden Bay pub and live entertainment venue. There's a brewery making decent beer and friendly staff. The food range is limited but it's tasty and on our visit arrived promptly. The pub itself is small but there's heaps of outdoor seating for the summer.

Decades of business and still the best stop for food and beverages past Motueka. Fantastic atmosphere. Friendly staff. Live music. Their bean-based nachos are the best in the world (42 countries traveled; 4 countries lived). A spot of nostalgia for any kiwi whose been through and a testament to simply good quality food and brews. The microbrewery has changed over the decades but to this day brewing a variety of great options for all tastes including the kiwi special, fajoa cider.

We had a great meal and some tasty brews here while in 5he area. Food was delicious, the service was prompt and friendly. Music on some evenings. Ample parking and seating both indoors and outside. Would stop there again.

We arrived here late, had to wait for an inside seat so chilled outside with a beer and open fire to keep us toasty. Shortly after seated inside with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beer selection was great and my steak was cooked perfectly.

Great range of beers/ciders made onsite. Very cool outdoor setting suitable for any weather.
