About
Saint Alice stands out on Auckland's Quay Street as a seriously good craft brewery and bar that actually knows what it's doing. Named after the owners' late mother, it's become a local favourite for its thoughtfully curated selection of beers—both in-house brews and carefully chosen international labels—paired with genuinely well-made food. The brewery has earned its solid 4.2-star reputation by refusing to chase trends; instead, they focus on consistency, quality, and creating a space that feels like it belongs to the neighbourhood rather than the tourist trail.
When you visit Saint Alice, expect a relaxed, unpretentious vibe that works equally well for a solo beer explorer, couples on a weekend date, or groups of mates. The interior is warm and industrial without feeling cold, and staff actually talk you through their beers rather than just pouring. Most people spend 1–2 hours here, though it's easy to lose track of time. The location on Quay Street means you're steps from the waterfront and surrounded by other good spots, so it pairs naturally into a larger Auckland CBD exploration. Fair warning: it gets busy Friday and Saturday evenings, so arrive early if you want a relaxed experience.
Saint Alice fits perfectly into a proper Auckland brewery and bar crawl, especially if you're interested in the city's craft beer scene. The CBD location makes it accessible whether you're staying in the city or just passing through, and it's open year-round—though summer evenings on the nearby waterfront add extra appeal. It's the kind of place that reveals more the more you visit, so don't expect to exhaust it in one trip.
