Canyon Brewing

We had a great experience at Canyon Brewing. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. The food was delicious, although it’s on the pricier side, so keep that in mind. The wait time for our dishes was a bit longer than expected, but overall, it was worth the wait. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for a nice outing—just be prepared for a bit of a wait and the higher prices.

Didn’t get to eat here but menu looked pretty good. Drinks all reasonable price and happy hour between 2-4 with $13 tap cocktails. Great views of the Shotover jets and river.

Visited Tuesday 13th May - Lunch Ordered: Tasting Paddle (4: Canyon Gold Lager, Kolsch, Sour, Ripe & Ready), Crispy Chicken Wings with Spicy Kiwifruit dipping sauce, and Wagyu Sliders Great selection of beers on tap available, just too many to choose from, best to try them out for a good deal on the paddles ($25) The chicken wings were very tasty with or without the sauce. Portions sufficient and possibly more than what we paid for. The amount of ingredients used to marinate the chicken wings was so much better than what we have ever tasted and tried so far, and is the best ones - highly recommended The dipping sauce was different, a little spicy but also a little sour from the kiwifruit. There should be an option for a spicier option for those who love spiciness Unfortunately the sliders were a letdown, the beef was dry and looked a tad burnt. The bottom of the bun was partially hard and wasn't as soft as it was meant to be Excellent view even though we chose to sit inside due to the cold windy weather Service was good Highly recommended to anyone who wants a quick meal in a relaxing atmosphere, with a good selection of beers on tap and good food

The food was seriously delicious the pizza cooked to perfection. You must get the friend chicken!!!! It was the best chicken I have had. We loved everything we ordered. Mhhhhhhhhh. Will definitely need to come back again. Also the customer service was great.

Was a little hard to find for out of towners in the dark after turning into the rafting area. Good selection of food and beer, nice location especially in the evening under the heaters. Off licence available. Average customer service but think it was just a busy night

A really nice Restaurant! We had Tea and Pizza and everything was delicious! The pizza with courgette, fresh buffalo, chilli oil, daikon and basil was special and the combo is really nice! The Service is so friendly and competent! The atmosphere there is chilly. We are definitely happy and full.

Worth making the trip out from town. Excellent beer AND pizza. Beautiful spot to enjoy both too. Highly recommended. Had a small misfire on Saturday night when I turned up only to find it was booked for a private function but returned Sunday to enjoy it.

Staff are nice, oat cappuccino is delicious, brownie and ice cream was a hit with the child. The staff dealt with my annoying mother well.

took forever (30-45 minutes to get seated and same wait to get our first plate of food after that) our server was clearly busy but never came to check on us, not even to ask if we had our food or needed more water they only allow food inside and so tables are few and exclusive, expect a loooong wait. ambiance is groovy but building is not nearly big enough for a brewery, not enough space or anything lamb skewer was flavorful and smoky, edamame was unique and a hit at the table. I ordered the fish sliders and they were decent, but not worth the hour it took to get here, especially since they were smaller than my palm. overall we came in with high hopes and left with crushed spirits, not worth the wait!! left out entire party irritated and our worst food experience so far in Queenstown :( do not come here for the food!! there is much better food all over Queenstown without the pitiful service :( we even had to cancel one of the items of our order because it took an hour and a half total (just to cook some cauliflower?!) and we did not have the patience to keep waiting for one more plate of mediocre food. yuck.

This was such a fun spot to hang out and unwind outside of Queenstown! We passed this a few times as we headed out on day trips and thought it looked like a great spot. We ended one of our days with a beverage and snack on their lawn. They have tons of indoor seating, a nice big patio, and then have bean bag chairs on their pretty lawn overlooking the bridge and canyon/water below. The spots have nice tables and sun umbrellas to make it comfortable. My partner was excited about the beer options here, and I opted for a cider. We also split the spicy edamame that were so addictive and delicious! Not the fastest service ever - we had to wait a while for our edamame - but we were relaxing so didn't mind much. Come for the brews and ambiance!

Great craft beer and delicious pizza. Great service and lovely set up. Outside sitting to watch the Shotover river. Our pizzas were delicious. Highly recommend their chorizo pizza. A pizza can easily feed two. Handmade crust. I had the eggplant and goat cheese pizza. Awesome!

The previous reviewer was spot on with the IPA. I got the burger. It was very good. The aioli is bomb. Service and staff were amazing. Great view too.

Amazing brewery with views of the bridge, canyon & river, the brewery is nestled in the canyon next to Shotover speed boat landing. They offer Porter, IPA, Hazy IPA, Pale Ale, Pilser & Hopped Ale. In addition to a full menu with bar bites. The bar staff was friendly & knowledgeable about their beers providing in depth information on where they source hops & the brewery partnerships. So if you make out to the NZ check it out!

Great brewery! We got the 5 beer sampler and enjoyed tasting all of the beers! The seasonal cherry sour was my favorite. We also got the canyon board and it was a ton of food. The view is beautiful. The whole place has a great atmosphere! Definitely recommend!!

The Porter was to die for. Great location and great beer. Was cool To hear all the jetboats go by while we sat outside

Awesome spot to hang out! The view is great and is a super unique location. We came for a Sunday arvo beer and snack. We were welcomed with live music and great service. The IPA is spot on and the chicken wings were crunchy joy with blue cheese sauce that was legit blue cheese. No idea why this place wasn't rammed with people, but the timber does still smell fresh and guessing it's a new addition to the landscape.
