The Occidental Belgian Beer Cafe
Auckland
At a glance
The Occidental Bar on 8 Vulcan Lane is the place for Auckland-based lovers of Belgian Beer, such as Stella Artois and Linderman’s Kriek, and Wheat Beers like Hoegaarden and Ale’s from Leffe.
The Occidental Hotel was opened as long ago as 1870 by an American sailor named Edward Perkins. In 1999 it underwent a metamorphosis into The Occidental Belgium Beer Huis, the first authentic Belgian Beer bar in the Southern Hemisphere.
The bar serves excellent food including their famous mussel pots, an all-encompassing choice of 120 Belgian beers, a small NZ craft selection complemented by some of the finest wines from New Zealand.
