The Tinted Rose 📍
Talking of excellent beverages … The Tinted Rose is just down the road from PPO. Smaller, more subtle. Beer choice not extensive - but great cocktails and an excellent wine list.
Hotel Ponsonby 📍
Stunning building known locally as The Ponsonby Post Office .. which is what it was - before its recent transition to The Ponsonby Hotel - which is called that by nobody. Through those hallowed doors can be found excellent beverages from the ‘Hops’ family.

BUT .. our hearts remain with ‘The Governor’ and Steve and Bernie who owned it remain great friends of ours.
