New Zealand here. I've had a pint in The Queen's Ferry Tavern, The Queen's Head and The King's Arms. Also Bar None, The Crow Bar, Murphy's Irish Pub, The Whitestone Cafe, The Blacksmith, The Q Bar, The Web, The Bull, Studio X, The Rose and Crown, The Office, The Local, The Fat Dog, Broncos, Galbraith's Ale House and a host more I can't bring to mind right now.
