They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If that’s the case, you’re in luck, as Auckland has no shortage of superior eating spots to head to this Father’s Day. For the pie-lovers, take a trip to Ashby’s in St Heliers for the low and slow BBQ pork pie or enjoy a long lunch at Darling on Drake and indulge in the beef and bone marrow pie (for two).

For the...Ale Aficionados
It’s beer o’clock somewhere and there’s no better place to park up for the day and enjoy a few cold ones than Hallertau Brewery. Whether you choose their Riverhead or Clevedon location, let the team take care of you and guide you to beer Nivana this Father’s Day. From fruity sours to rich stouts, order in a paddle and get to sippin’! Accompany your beer/s of choice with a smörgåsbord of food, including picky bits, sharing plates, pizzas and plenty of mains.

For the...Tiger Woods wannabe
If your dad has a penchant for bogeys and birdies, it might be time to make a tee time at one of the many golf greens around the city - that’s if you can keep up, of course. If not, a happy medium is the driving range. From Ellerslie to Takapuna, Auckland has no shortage of places to practice your pitching and learn a thing or two from your pops.
