New Brew Café, Bar and Restaurant

New Brew is a café, bar and restaurant on William Pickering Drive in Albany, on Auckland's North Shore. The kitchen runs all day, from breakfast through to a full dinner menu of burgers, wood-fired pizzas, salads, seafood, steaks and ribs.

The bar pours a rotating line-up of craft beers on tap alongside a solid wine list and the usual spirits, so it works just as well for a quiet weekday lunch as it does for a night out. Live music plays on Friday and Saturday nights with no cover charge, and the room is set up for everything from a casual catch-up to a big group booking.
