Emerson's Brewery Taproom & Restaurant is the public face of one of New Zealand's best-known craft breweries, at 70 Anzac Avenue in Dunedin. Emerson's was founded in 1992 by Richard Emerson, and the taproom lets visitors drink and eat alongside the brewery's range.
### Food and drink
The venue operates as a brewery taproom with an in-house restaurant. Its website describes a menu for varied tastes, an outdoor beer garden and dog-friendly seating. A Sunday roast is listed, and beer tastings run on Thursdays from 4pm to 6pm. The venue is open Tuesday to Sunday; check the website for current opening times.
### Events and groups
The website invites visitors to host a gathering at the venue through its booking page, and also lists brewery tours, events and keg hire. Details of private dining areas, function packages and guest capacity are not published on the pages reviewed, so event planners should contact the venue directly to confirm what can be accommodated.
### Location
The taproom is on Anzac Avenue in central Dunedin, close to the city's waterfront and harbour end. There is no on-site accommodation. For accommodation and other options, see our Dunedin venues listings.
### Planning notes
Because capacity and function options are not stated publicly, treat this as a good option for casual group dining and informal gatherings, subject to confirmation with the venue.
