What people say
Mangere Bridge Tavern stands out as a premier destination in the Mangere Bridge area, thanks to the dedicated efforts of its owners, including ex All Black Pat Walsh and his family. Since its establishment in 1968, this vibrant sports bar has evolved into a beloved community hub, originally known as "The Lazy Lion" and later renamed The Black Bridge Tavern.
With three distinct bars under one roof, Mangere Bridge Tavern offers a welcoming atmosphere just minutes from Auckland International Airport. Whether you're looking to unwind with friends or celebrate a special occasion, the tavern provides private hire and catering options for groups, ensuring that every gathering is memorable.
The commitment to quality service is evident through the leadership of General Manager Trevor Westrupp and a dedicated team of 18 staff members. Their passion for hospitality shines through in every aspect of the tavern's operation.
Open daily with extended hours, Mangere Bridge Tavern invites you to experience its rich history and vibrant ambiance. It's not just a place to grab a drink; it's an integral part of the community where memories are made and friendships are forged.
