Beats | Beers | Burgers | Bands

(plus everything in between)

Located in sunny Takaka in New Zealand's stunning Golden Bay, Roots Bar was built with a vision of providing an alternative space where locals and travellers can enjoy a great music culture through a great sound system, eat great food, enjoy the high vibes and energy that the outside open fire brings to the bar, and of course indulge in tasting some of Tasmans best craft beers that the bar has on 12 taps.

Roots Bar is owned and operated by owner Holly Osmond – with over a decade of
hospitality experience in Oz and NZ.

The atmosphere and energy is always warm and inviting in Roots Bar,
