Overview

Just the other day, I popped into CASTLE 789, right there on Main Street in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North. This spot, well, it has that classic working-man’s pub vibe going on. Think: pool tables, darts, and a decent pokies room, all under a roof that has seen its fair share of laughs and perhaps, a few too many overpriced drinks. But hey, who hasn’t been there?

You get a nice mix of folks here, looking to unwind after a long day. Seriously, the bar staff? Super friendly and polite. And if you’re into live music, Fridays are your jam with karaoke that’s bound to bring out the inner rock star in some!

Now, if you’re traveling in a group, it’s spacious enough so you won’t end up elbowing strangers while sinking a few. Plus, it’s fun to just vibe with the tunes while having a drink or a bite to eat. They even have outdoor seating for those sunny afternoons, so grab a cold one on the terrace, why don’t ya?

But, gotta mention, on busy nights, it may feel a bit chaotic. Some folks seemed to have had rough experiences with security during events, which made me raise an eyebrow. Treating good people like they’re causing trouble? Not cool, right? But hey, I wasn’t kicked out, so that’s a plus in my book!

Overall, CASTLE 789 is a decent hangout spot if you’re looking for a place that’s lively, serves up some good food, and lets you enjoy the game with a drink in hand! And with a 4.0 rating out of 5 from over a hundred reviews, it seems to have its fans. Just be prepared for a mix of friendly fun and the occasional hiccup.
