THE TAKAPUNA STRIP Mac’s Brewbar Hurstmere Road
Big Summer ahead at Mac's BrewBar Hurstmere Road
There’s a lot planned for this summer by Dean Lodge and his team at Macs Brewbar on Hurstmere Road.
“Mac’s Brewbar Hurstmere Road is now a firm favourite on the Hurstmere Road strip,” said Dean during November. “The locals love the place, whether they’re coming in for just a drink, lunch
or dinner, to take in the DJ’s or to attend one of the many parties we have.”
As this issue went to press in late November, Mac’s Brewbar Hurstmere Road had very strong bookings in place for the festive season as well, with many North Shore businesses choosing the venue for their Christmas functions. Mac’s Brewbar Hurstmere Road has a range of options for these functions. There are set menus for groups of 20 people or more, and they also have two separate group function venues available. These are the lounge area that caters for up to 80 people, or the Hurstmere Room that provides space for a gathering of up to 30 people. For big corporates there is also the option of utilising the entire venue on a Monday or Tuesday, subject to availability.
“We have been thrilled with the high number of reservations we have already received for festive season functions,” added Dean. “We were a very new venue this time 12 months ago, but now people really appreciate and understand what we have to offer.”
The 30th birthday of Macs Brewery was celebrated in style
with an 80’s party – very appropriate – on Friday November 25th. We recommend you try the ‘Macs Sunny Jim Summer
Larger’ – a special beer made for the 30th birthday and named in honour of Mac’s first master brewer Jim Pollitt.
It has been an excellent few months for Mac’s Brewbar Hurstmere Road with the Rugby World Cup period being very busy. Described by Brewbar staff as huge.
What has also been very popular is the entertainment provided on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
“Our DJ’s are on from 9pm through to 1am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and our top 40 dance remix format has really hit the spot,” explains Dean. “Our Sunday jazz and soul mix from 2pm to 4pm is hugely popular as well.”
For those who like the Mac’s Brewbar Hurstmere Road “GrabOne” offers, there is one available for December as well.
Dean says that the response to these offers has been phenomenal during 2011.
Look-out for a new lunch menu that was in the pipeline as this issue of Channel was going to press.
