Stopped in here on many occasions, awesome food and great service behind the bar. Really good selection of beers and spirits, best place in town for a burger and beer!

Stopped by on our first night in Akaroa, wanting to have a nice meal and somewhere to watch the rugby. Excellent food and very attentive and friendly staff. Well worth a visit

I stopped in for a steak salad and chips.. nicely cooked to my liking and fresh crisp salad and chips.. a fair price

We called into the Madiera Pub on New Years Eve and it was like being thrown back in time to the 80's. Cheap decor, sticky carpets, bored staff and omg don't get me started about the music.
I thought this place would be heaving for New Years Eve but the solo live act was all packed up by 11pm and then they had "Yah yah yah drink yourself more bliss" (Kiwi type music) coming out of some very distorted speakers.
If you want to reminisce about the past and eat pies and chips then this is the place for you .

After a kayaka adventure it was time for something on tap and some fish and chips. Excellent! Most of the kegs were from Dunedin NZ. The staff included someone from France and all the staff was friendly and courteous. We really felt like we were on vacation in another part of the world.
