For August, LBQ becomes The Siren Song Tavern, a place where sea folk, land folk, and the windblown commuter gather to drink, converse, and trade tales of the ocean and whatever waits beyond Oriental Bay. This is where sailors would gather if they'd discovered craft beer. Expect proper tavern fare built for winter nights and long conversations: slow-braised beef and dark ale pie with mash and winter greens, lamb shoulder with rosemary jus, roasted kūmara and caramelised onion tart. Behind the bar: ales worth docking for, rum with backbone, rotating New Zealand craft options, and two house cocktails brewed exclusively for the Tavern. Dishes pair with beer and rum, the kind of food that keeps you steady while the stories grow taller. Come in out of the southerly, find your crew, add your version to the legend.
