THE GARDEN BAR

Gin & Garden Bar – The White Swan Hotel, Greytown (Wairarapa). Step into our Gin & Garden Bar at The White Swan Hotel, nestled on Main Street in Greytown. This inviting space blends boutique bar charm, lush garden seating and a focus on local craft drinks. Whether you’re joining us for a taste of regional gin, a glass of Wairarapa wine or an easy‑going evening on the deck, you’re in the right place.

Craft Gins, Botanical Cocktails & Local Spirits

Our bar specialises in a curated selection of small‑batch gins, botanical cocktails and local spirits that reflect the Wairarapa’s artisan culture. Sip through hand‑crafted serves or try a flight of regional gins that showcase the character of our area.

Garden & Outdoor Bar Experience

Situated just off Greytown’s Main Street, our backyard garden provides relaxed outdoor seating amongst greenery and strings of light — a perfect setting for sundowners, sharing plates and chatter. It’s ideal for friends, families or couples looking for a laid‑back drink in the Wairarapa.

Local Wine & Beer

Complement your spirits with our wine list featuring Wairarapa‑produced wines and a rotating selection of locally brewed craft beer. We believe great drinks begin with local provenance and serve options that reflect our region’s flavour and flair.

SUMMER NIGHTS SORTED

The Garden Bar is officially open — and she’s looking gorgeous. Tucked away at the back of The Swan, hidden from chaos and too much cheer, she’s your summer hangout and the perfect spot for long afternoons in the sunshine.
