Just visit the place and you'll see why it deserves all of its five stars!

Plus the place is dog friendly, both inside and outside.

Always a great vibe at BBC, great beer selection, food & the staff are awesome. All the locals bring their dogs & Friday's after a week at work are popular for get together's on the deck out front

The BBC is an absolute institution among freehouses, which I cannot recommend enough. Impeccable food, great range of beers and cocktails, and top tier staff with a vast array of knowledge to assist you in your drink selection.

To not visit the BBC would be a missed opportunity for an excellent evening.

Been here a couple of times now! Really love they are dog friendly and the pub quiz was run extremely well. Food is really nice too with a pretty wide selection. Beer is great a great local venue!

Brilliant little local place that has taken the area by storm. A true Freehouse with rotating beer taps and excellent food this is a must do on the shore.

After finding this place a week ago, we have been back three times and brought family along as well. BBC has a great range of craft beers on offer (maybe add Double Vision to the line-up?), a menu to suit all and very friendly and accommodating people - including Riley, the best server in the world. This is a perfect spot for a beverage and a bit and we will be back when we next come to Auckland

Had a wonderful dinner here with a girlfriend & our tweens. Lots of interesting & tasty beer options (& all other drinks too!), great food (the ribs were perfect & fell off the bone). Staff were super friendly & helpful. Toilets also rate a mention for being super clean (even the kids mentioned how good the toilets were!).

Friendly welcome, fast service, cold beer, great chips, burger was overcooked and dry as a hockey puck.

"Pie of the Moment" was Pulled Pork and Apple, this thing was huge and so tasty. Loved it.
Fantastic place, great beer, awesome food and the bar staff are up for a laugh. Tell them Ed Sent you.

Often crowded (because lots of other people like it too) but a great place to grab a very nice beer. Not the sort of place for a quiet, romantic chat. Our normal bar was hosting a very loud event and so we headed back to BBC. The beer and chips are still nice but a bit more expensive than our usual place.

Great food, nice beer, quick service. Would like more choice on tonics for my GnT but that's just a personal thing

The place is okay, not really worth a 4+ star rating though. Being able to have Dog's around is always great but it's a very small venue, too small to allow Dog's around and it's just chaotic. We saw 2 Dog's have a go at eachother which put us on edge and there doesn't appear to be any system that the waitresses use to know who needs to order or even what is available. Our waitress didn't write down any of our orders which we felt uneasy about and when I asked her questions she looked at me blankly and wasn't paying attention at all to what I had asked.

All up it wasn't a nice experience and wasn't the kind of place me and my family could chill and have a few drinks at, we just ate and left.
Bit of a let down for a Birthday dinner out with family.

A friend and I popped in for a quick drink and was horrified to pay $44 for two regular glasses of mediocre wine. I was stunned by this. Sadly we won’t be back.

Very dog-friendly. Relaxed. Lovely staff.
Good stop-off after a walk at Chelsea park. Next time will try more from the menu.
