The Speight's Ale House Napier

Welcome to the Speight's Ale House Napier

Speight's Ale House Napier An honest, down-to-earth place where you can relax with your mates or your family.

The Napier Alehouse is one of 12 specialised Speight's hostelries nationwide and the only bar in the bay serving all seven of the Dunedin brewery's beers on tap, from top-seller Speight's Gold through to the crafted pilsner, pale ale, porter, old dark and a seasonal ale.

We have an upstairs restaurant with big deck overlooking Ahuriri and the harbour - an attraction on its own! Open for lunch and dinner, we boast a wide-ranging, reasonably-priced menu that touches home base for all tastes.

Rustic with schist rock, lots of timer and steel, a big stone fireplace in the bar, the décor reflects Speight's Otago origins, but is just as appropriate in the former warehouse where Speight's Napier made its home in 2005.

Speight's Winter Roast Amber Ale

Try our Speight's Winter Roast. It is the new seasonal beer out – only on Tap at Speight’s Alehouse.

Sweet caramelised toffee flavours come in early and them combine with subtle chocolate and roasted flavours which together fill out the palate and balance nicely alongside the bitterness from the hops. Pours a rich darm amber/red with a thick white head.

Pilsener Malt plus six other speciality malts provide and very complex and unfolding flavour profile.
