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!

Consistently good mussels and Belgium beer. This was one of our favourite weekend haunts when we lived in NZ from 2010 to 2016. We visited during our recent visit to Auckland hoping it would be as good as we remembered. It was still great. We loved the mussel pot with blue cheese and the leffee dark beers. Service was as friendly and efficient.

We came by after work to grab some food and drinks. The place was quite busy but we were able to get a standing table. They have a nice selection of food and drinks. I grabbed the bangers and mash and it was qutie tasty.
