Wednesday called. It wants you to stop pretending you're not ready for a drink.
No overthinking necessary. The easy part, ordering a plate of Southern fried chicken with a side of ranch. The only real decision you've got left to make is to pair it with a pint, or fresh mojito.
Honestly not a bad problem to have if you ask us. Come sort it out. 🍺

Lunch spot. Afternoon hang. Pub dinner. Late night local. We're all of those things and we're open from 12pm so you can watch the day turn to night.
For those times you're feeling like a hearty pub classic, need a post concert feed, or just want a few drinks to see where the night leads you. Freeman & Grey has you covered from the first hour to the last, and on Saturdays we don't call it til 3am.
Your Ponsonby local, all day and all night. 🍺

Summer may be done but we're not quite ready to let it go 🍺 What a run it's been.
The quiz nights, the crispy pints, the $12 pizzas, the wrong quiz answers and the hangover parmas that saved everyone the morning after. Nothing has made us feel more like your local than having you all show up from around the neighbourhood all summer long.
26/03/2026
Easter's basically here and that's reason enough to kick back early 🍺
Time to pull up a street-side seat at your Ponsonby local, grab a pint and get into some proper pub classics with your neighbourhood mates.
11/03/2026
Still sunny, still warm, still no reason to stay home.
$12 pizzas during happy hour (12pm–2pm and 5pm–7:30pm), a Parma that earns its name, and a Lasagne you'll think about later.
