Eye filled steak to die for. Jimmy, the chef, gave me a steak that I haven't eaten anywhere for maybe two years. A true masterpiece of steak selection, preparation, and cooking. 10/10. My nate had Lamb Rump equally as good. Thank you 😊 Service via the bar, excellent, and the choices of beer and wine, great. Atmosphere, one of one in NZ Well done team.

Great place to grab a drink and unwind after a long day on the slopes skiing. The food options are pretty good and the selection of events and drinks available on a regular basis are pretty great. Kinda expensive for a bar but well worth it for the vibe, the atmosphere and the selection of drinks available. Highly recommend going if you have a group, or stay in their rooms if you can afford it. 10/10 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Fries

My husband and I stopped at Powderkeg Restaurant and Bar for a lunch. We ordered Seasoned wedges with cheese, bacon, sour cream and chilli, and Teriyaki free range chicken, slaw and Japanese mayo burger. The food was so delicious. The flavours of the burger were different and amazing. Highly recommend. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch

Stopped by on the last weekend of the season and the bar was still quite busy, with no table available in the designated dining area. I ended up opting for buying at the bar and picking a place somewhere and even then the options were fairly limited. Food was alright. I had the fishcakes and the pork belly. Both were tasty in their own right. Just found that the fishcakes were a tad salty. I was expecting a bit more from the S'more dessert but it was just marshmallows melted over chocolate. Think I would have enjoyed it more if the cracker was harder since it was really soft and quite crumbly. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Even though they were busy they were able to serve desserts after the mains, although there was a bit of a wait. I would probably come back for the food but probably a different dessert.

Came in day after New Year’s for a post hike dinner. Restaurant seemed slammed with a lot of people waiting for food. Our table of 4 waited more than 45 minutes to get our food and the bar ran out of several cocktails and RTD ciders that we tried to order. Food was fairly good when it arrived (Ravioli, Eye Fillet with Gnocchi, and Ribs), service was just slow. Would have been great if they’d let us know when we first sat down that there was a long wait to get food so we could have ordered some appetizers to munch on while we waited.

Can of Smirnoff was $10.00 and a can of rum and coke $10.00 they dont sell bottles. Liked my burger didn't like the BBQ sauce on it beef Pattie was delish though Pork Ribs were $33.00 not happy with that either. My son ordered chicken and mango pizza he liked that. Was a bit disappointed tried not going back there.

The best place in Ohakune to hang around for drink or dinner after a full day at the mountain. The atmosphere there is very cozy, warm and positive. Love the winter warm design of the whole place. The staff is super polite and helpful, always checking on your food and drink refills. Great selection of beers here, delicious. Even though the burgers here are not the best I ever had (and not a fan of square buns), they were still pretty darn good. Could have even gone for desert, but was too full from enormous amount of fries the bring with the burger. Definitely worth a visit. Will be back here for sure.

Just giving 4 stars because unfortunately they didn't have an item available! But apart from that, exceptional food for the price, and big servings. We ordered the pork ribs and the falafel burger. Lots of people so it's hard to find a table during busy hours. Would definitely go again!
