Welcome to The Occidental Belgian Beer Huis
The Occidental Belgian Beer Huis is located on Auckland’s historic Vulcan Lane and is one of Auckland’s oldest buildings.
Today, we serve up a mouth-watering menu of mussel pots, seafood platters and European fare. Our beer taps are ever-changing with an array of Belgian and craft specialties. For something different, try our extensive collection of bottled Belgian beer. Our staff will be happy to recommend a great match for your meal.
And while you’ll come for the food and beer, you’ll stay for the atmosphere. Our cosy pub was built in 1870 as a high-end hotel and restaurant complete with billiard room and reading room.
For 130 years it has welcomed people from all walks of life, served up hundreds of thousands of meals and poured millions of pints. The design and décor all reflect its fascinating past. Even the ghost that is rumoured to emerge from the basement on occasion doesn’t want to leave!
Today, we celebrated a wedding anniversary with a casual lunch at The Occidental in Vulcan Lane. A really good range of Belgian beers on tap including my favourite, Hoegaarden. We shared a dozen beer battered oysters with salad and fries.
Friendly, relaxed service. Fresh food and great drinks menu in funky Vulcan Lane. The Affogato dessert was one of the best I’ve had. Recommended – and about 30% less than we would have spent for an identical ‘fine dining’ option on the waterfront.

Awesome bar to sit outside and down a few tasty Belgian beers whilst watching the world go by. The bar itself looks pretty cool and they have a good selection of beer and food. Well worth a visit.
