OUR KITCHEN
Casual dining, meticulously crafted. Our menu is bold in flavour, designed to satisfy the hearty appetites, and built to pair effortlessly with what’s pouring from the taps. At Alibi, food is more than just fuel—it’s a reflection of seasonality, creativity, and a deep passion for local produce.
Head Chef Axel Curtet-Latreille and his talented team create dishes that evolve with the seasons, celebrating the freshest ingredients from our region. Expect vibrant flavours, unexpected twists, and a menu that’s constantly evolving—but always delivering on taste.
Start with our Wagyu beef croquettes, crisp and indulgent, or try our house-smoked and marinated green-lipped mussels. For something legendary, our Waiheke-famous Alibi buffalo chicken wings bring the heat, perfectly balanced by a rich blue cheese dip. Prefer something plant-based? Our falafel wrap is a winner, loaded with flavour and fresh, herbaceous goodness.
Whether you’re grabbing a bite with a beer in hand or settling in for a full feast, Alibi has it all.
OUR BEER
At Alibi Brewing Co., we are dedicated to crafting beers that continue to push boundaries and explore new ground. Guided by the collective expertise and passion of our brewing team, we specialise in a full range of New World, hop-forward styles. Each beer is thoughtfully developed to deliver depth of flavour and character, whether it is a punchy IPA, a smooth stout, or a juicy Hazy.
Our team’s approach is grounded in experimentation, blending time-honoured brewing techniques with a progressive mindset. We are not afraid to take considered risks, creating beers with layered complexity while remaining true to the integrity of each style. This commitment extends beyond the brewhouse, with an ongoing focus on new ingredients, evolving methods, and the pursuit of the next exceptional brew.
OUR WINE
Nestled beneath one of Waiheke Island’s most renowned vineyards, Alibi Brewing Co. is uniquely positioned in the heart of this stunning wine-growing region. Tantalus Estate, with its eight hectares of free-draining sandy soil, sits atop weathered clay and rock, providing the ideal conditions to cultivate exceptional wines. The vineyard’s focus is on crafting dense, complex Bordeaux and Rhône-style reds that have the potential to age gracefully, offering wine enthusiasts a truly refined experience.
With wines crafted by our talented winemaker Alex Perez, we’re proud to offer a remarkable selection that celebrates the depth and diversity of the island’s terroir. From the delicate, fruit-driven flavours of our Sauvignon Blanc to the structured complexity of our flagship reds, each glass tells a story of this remarkable land.
At Alibi, we take pride in not only serving incredible craft beers but also in offering a wine experience that’s just as exceptional.
OUR COCKTAILS
Our cocktail menu at Alibi Brewing Co. is ever-evolving, with each season bringing fresh, exciting flavours and innovative combinations. Led by our talented Bar Manager Sam, whose extensive experience in the cocktail competition circuit has infused our bar with a wealth of creativity and flair, our cocktails are a true reflection of his passion for exploration.
Sam’s approach to mixology is all about pushing the boundaries – experimenting with unexpected ingredients and bold flavour profiles. Each drink is crafted to be a little off the wall, yet always packed with depth and character. Drawing inspiration from local ingredients, Sam ensures that every cocktail not only showcases the unique flavours of Waiheke Island but also highlights the bounty of our estate. From the zesty lemons used in our house-made limoncello to the estate honey crafted by our very own bees, we’re proud to incorporate the best of what’s grown and produced right here.
Whether you’re sipping on a refreshing summer spritz or indulging in a rich, winter warmer, our cocktails reflect the spirit of the seasons and the creativity that flows through our bar. At Alibi, we’re always evolving and always serving up something new to surprise your senses.
