The drinks are pretty good, but sometimes a bit variable. They'll occasionally have themed drink menus, like during Uni Otago graduation. The bartenders are not always able to make drinks the right way, so 4 stars, but it's still a solid spot, and one of the best in Dunners. I find Carousel has the very best cocktails -- their whiskey sour is the best in town.

There are a ton of vegetarian options (I had tastes of 3, and all were delicious!), which is refreshing in the Land of the Meat Pie. The only slight drawback is that service is slow & a bit indifferent Some of this may be because the place was very busy, which is, of course, a good sign. In the balance, Sra. C. & I would come back for sure. By the way, "medium hot" was not very hot, so gauge your capsicum appropriately.

Good pizzas.. not the best but it fed our crew of 14 well and truly. Their version of the margarita pizza was interesting but I did enjoy their Pepperoni which was probably the best of the lot. The poppers were not hot at all and the fries were a bit underdone for my liking. We enjoyed how they accommodated us so easily and gave great service throughout our time there which for me is always more memorable than the food. It is a night club so the downstairs dungeon toilets were a bit of a turn off especially with kids BUT it is what it is. They seemed to have a really good flow of customers which says a lot about the place and what they have to offer. No pics - we were too hungry to care.
