Welcome to the Lookout
Modern, relaxed, spacious...
Perched on the outskirts of Te Rapa, the Lookout is the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed meal or toast a special occasion.
With views 'looking out' toward the Hakarimata ranges, our balcony is the ideal place to take in the scenery or if you'd prefer a cosy spot indoors there are three seating areas to choose from, two with large flat-screen tv's for the sports fanatics.
For small get-together's and celebrations talk to us about The Terrace. We created this indoor/outdoor space so that it can be closed off from the main bar/restaurant. Better yet, it also houses its own bar and private entrance so that you and your guests can enjoy a more exclusive experience.
And what good would a bar be without a delicious food and drinks menu? Our tasty lunch, dinner and snacks menu's have something for everyone and are especially good washed down with our popular range of cold brews, wine and in-house beverages.
Feeling hungry, thirsty or all of the above?
Great! We look forward to seeing you!
