Bars in city’s heart offer something for everyone
Whether you’re looking for a great place to catch up with friends after work, some delicious food, a cold drink or a place to watch the game, there’s something for everyone at New Plymouth’s popular trio of bars – The Good Home, The Rooftop and Icons Sports Bar.
Offering a fantastic range of beers, wine and spirits and each boasting a different theme, these much-loved bars can be found in one handy, central location in the heart of New Plymouth.
The Good Home is your home away from home. There’s a comfy spot for everyone, whether that’s at the bar, in the dining room or a cosy nook in the corner.
Owners David and Sheryl
Stones wanted to open a restaurant and bar where people would feel at home.
David says, ‘‘A homely environment, great, wholesome food and wonderful services that makes everyone feel at home, just as you would expect when you’re around at a mate’s place. It’s like an extension of your home, with different areas of the bar created into different rooms. It’s not a house, it’s a home!’’
And when it gets late, the music comes on – either with a live band, or a great DJ – so don’t forget your dancing shoes!
‘‘The Good Home has been operating for over 11 years and has become a household name for those who want to enjoy a night out with friends and family, a work function or a place to party late into the night,’’ says David.
The Rooftop Bar & Eatery is the perfect place for after-work drinks on a balmy afternoon. Offering great views over the city and some delightful beers and cocktails, it’s also a go-to spot for comfort food like fresh pizza, dumplings and sharing plates and platters. Enjoy the scenery while you chat for hours and watch the sun set.
And if you’re looking for your sporting fix, then look no further than Icons Sports Bar. With an onsite TAB, pool tables, dart boards and big screens to watch the match or racing, this is the place to relax after a hard day on the job. A warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere awaits you.
