Long Bay Surf Club

Tucked into the heart of Long Bay Village on Auckland’s North Shore, Long Bay Surf Club is your local laid-back gastropub – a spot where good times roll from brunch to late-night hangs.

Since opening our doors in 2019, we’ve become a go-to hangout for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re popping in for a coffee catch-up, winding down with a cold one, or diving into dinner with mates, we’re all about easy-going vibes and warm hospitality.

Our name pays homage to nearby Long Bay Beach – a beautiful stretch of sand just a short drive or 25-minute walk away. Some say it’s named for its length, others say it’s a nod to early settlers Alfred and Arthur Long – either way, it suits us just fine. We’re all about that relaxed, beachside feel – no boardshorts required.

Step inside and you’ll find a space that’s bright and welcoming. Timber interiors, natural light pouring in, and a friendly crew behind the bar make it easy to settle in and stay a while.

Our Local Scene

We opened as part of the exciting new development transforming Long Bay into one of Auckland’s most vibrant coastal communities. With new homes, green spaces and local businesses springing up around us, there’s a buzz in the air – and we’re proud to be part of it.

Long Bay is growing fast, and we’re right here in the thick of it – slinging drinks, serving good food, and welcoming new faces every day.

Community at the core

We love our locals – and we like to think the feeling’s mutual. Over the past six years, we’ve become a favourite spot for families grabbing a bite, tradies popping in for a post-work pint, and sports teams making us their go-to after the game.

As the only late-night venue in the area, we’re here for everything from big birthday bashes to chilled-out date nights and last-minute drink plans. We’re also proud sponsors of the Hibiscus Coast Women’s Soccer Team – you’ll often find them here celebrating a win or hosting a fundraiser.

What to expect

Long Bay Surf Club is whatever you need it to be – lunch, dinner, drinks, coffee or a full-on function. Our Main Bar is casual and lively, with six TVs, a big projector screen for the big games, and a DJ booth to keep the energy high. In the cooler months, the fireplace is the place to be.

The restaurant offers a more relaxed, table-service experience, perfect for long lunches or special dinners. And when it comes to drinks, our “Shipwreck” cocktail (our cheeky take on a Piña Colada), frozen margaritas, or an ice-cold Panhead Supercharger always hit the spot.

Weekly trivia on Tuesdays keeps the brain ticking, while our Friday evening DJs will keep the party going late. Don’t miss our weekly specials either – from classic fish and chips and burger night to kids eat free and steak with bottomless fries, there’s a little something for everyone.

What others are saying

We’re stoked to have caught the attention of local media, too. As Denizen magazine put it:

“Nestled deep in the North Shore in the burgeoning Long Bay development, Long Bay Surf Club has locals buzzing with excitement and has quickly established itself as a neighbourhood hotspot.”

They also described us as “somewhere between laid-back pub and elevated eatery,” noting our varied menu, 12 taps on offer and a “comprehensive list of refreshing cocktails.”

Their final verdict?

“From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed… the timber-laden interiors, high ceilings and capacity for nearly 300 make it perfect for any kind of occasion.”
