The Lumsden Freehouse

Welcome to the home of Craft Beer in Newmarket, Auckland!
What is a Freehouse you ask? In a nutshell, it is exactly that…a bar that is Free from Big Brewery influence. We pour what we want based on taste and customer feedback. We are not under any contracts with any brewery so we only stock the very best that NZ brewers have to offer.
Welcome to the home of Craft Beer in Newmarket, Auckland!
A cool and laid back bar with 15 taps of rotating local brews, over 120 craft beer bottles and cans, one of the largest Bourbon selections in Auckland, playing sweet tunes, with ideas and concepts throughout the bar that are just a little bit different. From darts to spacies to boardgames, to chalkboard tables, to ‘build your own salad’s’, to coasters made from recycled beer boxes, it’s all a little crafty.
As long as you have a good attitude you are welcome, kids, big and small appreciate the complimentary popcorn and we encourage you to bring your four legged friends down to enjoy our awesome patio looking out onto the green space of The Lumsden Green. We show almost every sporting event, have a popular weekly trivia night, monthly comedy nights and can offer personalised beer tastings, there truly is something for everyone!
Kick back and try one of the largest craft beer selections Auckland has to offer. Conveniently located on the corner of Khyber Pass Road and Broadway in Newmarket, there is ample parking all around us in the many towers as well as plenty of street parking.
