Carey’s Bay Hotel

Back to Insiders

Carey’s Bay Historical Hotel dates back to 1874 and is one of the most popular pubs in Dunedin, located just outside Port Chalmers. The restaurant specialises in seafood but offers a complete menu with dishes such as roast beef with mashed potatoes and a bacon wrapped chicken breast stuffed with mushroom. A bar menu is also available at all times for those looking to enjoy a pint of beer or a nice glass of wine.

Inside, there are plenty of cosy corners with beautiful views of the bay, together with multiple open-fires to heart the interior on those chilly Dunedin nights. The courtyard area provides a beautiful sunny and outdoor space during summer-time, but is also open during the winter, complete with a covered roof to protect from the elements and a blazing fire to keep the place warm. One of the most popular places is an area called ‘The Snug’, which offers private dining for a party of up to 14 people.

Only a short drive up the road from downtown Port Chalmers, the Carey’s Bay Historic Hotel is a must-see establishment, with beautiful décor, terrific views, and good pub food.
