2 Best Nightlife in Arrowtown, The Southern Alps and Fiordland

The Blue Door

What goes on behind the Blue Door? Whiskey, wine, and cocktails, served by knowledgeable and chatty (when it's quiet) staff. Sit in a dark corner near the fire, or at the bar. Set in a beautiful old stone building with candles burning around the room, it's the perfect place for a nightcap before walking back to your accommodation.

The Fork and Tap

In this cozy historic building there are 20 beers and ciders on tap, a great selection of local Central Otago wine, and a hearty pub-style menu for lunch and dinner. If you're looking for a lively spot to enjoy a beer and share stories after a big day of skiing or sightseeing, this is it. Don't sit too close to the fire if you can help it as it can get very hot.
