65 & Dine Gastropub and Sportsbar

From rustic Top Hut to award-winning Gastropub

Originally known as the Top Hut Bar & Bistro, this historic hydro pub has been owned and operated by the Burgess family since 2013. Five years later saw a huge renovation and the addition of 65 & Dine Gastropub & Smokehouse. In 2019 it earned recognition as Hospitality NZ’s Best Redeveloped Food & Beverage venue. Further changes in 2025 have seen the Top Hut and 65 & Dine combine to become 65 & Dine Gastropub and Sportsbar. With live sports, a spacious garden bar, and a modern kitchen, it is a favourite of locals and visitors alike.

What they offer

Gastropub Specialties — bold, honest food, served with heart.

Sports bar atmosphere — multiple TVs for sports and a big screen for live matches, plus 14 gaming machines.

Garden‑bar and alfresco — relax in the sunshine and enjoy the alpine air

Events & functions — weddings, birthdays, awards nights & community gatherings.
