The Cav Gastro Pub

Auckland



For more than 150 years, The Cav has been a cornerstone of Auckland’s hospitality scene — a place where locals gather, stories are shared, and every pint feels like it’s poured for you. 

Today, The Cav blends its proud pub heritage with the warmth, flavour, and flair of a modern gastrobar. Our roots may run deep in Ponsonby’s history, but our spirit is always fresh — welcoming generations old and new to relax, celebrate, and connect.

With sweeping city views, elevated pub classics, and an atmosphere that’s as easygoing as it is iconic, The Cav isn’t just part of the neighbourhood — we’re part of its story.

Come on in. There’s always a seat waiting for you.
