Wow, we have often said our local bar "is the Best"
Now it's Officially the Best!
Congratulations team, well deserved

WE DID IT AGAIN.

Two years ago, in 2024, The Tahi Bar + Kitchen was named New Zealand’s Best Entertainment Venue.

Tonight, at the Hospitality New Zealand Awards for Excellence, we’ve been honoured with the title for a second time.

For a small independent venue in Warkworth, this means the world.

Thank you to every musician, every staff member, every regular, every visitor and everyone who has walked through our doors and helped make The Tahi what it is.

Live music. Good food. Good company.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

The Tahi Bar + Kitchen
🏆 Best Entertainment Venue, New Zealand
2024 & 2026
