Popped in for a quick Friday afternoon drink - loved the buzz of the place - and the drink prices at happy hour were just so good. Would have eaten here as well but others in the group had other ideas (not good ones either) Given the crowd it wasn't overly noisy

just wanted a cheap pub meal with a group of friends and 1876 fitted the bill. We had items off the menu and bar snacks menu and all dishes were generous. The drinks are also very cheap which is nice for keeping costs down. Three of us had a few drinks and left with full bellies for a total tab... More

Wandered in here on most of our evenings in Queenstown, the monteiths beers are very cheap, and even better during happy hour! Always seemed to be a good atmosphere & staff were friendly. Will be the first place I head for a drink next time I'm in Queenstown!

The alcohol was so cheap we actually had to ask the waitress a second time if she was sure the price was right. Also the food was as good as any fine dining restaurant however the price was so reasonable. Staff were friendly and attentive Highly recommended.

The mood was lively with a young clientele, ourselves excepted, but my wife and I could have two drinks for about $16, about half the price of other places. The staff were all backpackers of varying nationalities and added to the atmosphere. We had a meal that was reasonably priced and could watch one of the NZ rugby teams beating... More

I thought they played too much hip hop music for my taste, and it was always dead. there was never anyone else there. the drinks are quite cheap for nz though so as a backpacker that was great, good for one or two drinks not good for a night out.

Dear Hollieday91 Your review is very surprising and just wondering if you have the right bar? as we have 4 different Dj's Thursday thru Sunday who all play different genres of music and none of them play a lot of Hip Hop .March was an extremely busy month for us and we were really busy every night of the week...

We went here over easter. Have to admit the atmosphere is great and the location is awesome but unfortunately we went over a public holiday where you had to buy a meal to get a drink and the service wasn't that good. We had to order a meal to get a drink which is fine but the meal wait was... More

My friend and I went there last night for dinner. The food itself was quite good but the environment wasn't. There was very loud dance music on which was not at all suitable for a restaurant. One table did complain how loud the music was and it was turned down a bit but i still don't think electronic dance music... More
