Our Commitment to the Perfect Guinness
Our Commitment to the Perfect Guinness
In Ireland, there’s long been debate over where to find the best pint of Guinness. Some say it’s all in the glass, others in the pour, and many believe the magic lies in the pub itself. For generations, locals have swapped stories and argued over which pint truly deserves the crown, making Guinness not just a drink but a part of Irish folklore and pride.
At O’Dowd’s, Guinness is more than just a drink. It is our craft. Our team have trained directly with experts connected to the home of Guinness, learning the art of the perfect pour down to the smallest detail. From imported equipment and dedicated glassware to serving at the precise six-to-eight degrees, every pint is poured with care, precision, and pride.
We believe a great Guinness is worth doing right, and that is why we are dedicated to serving what we truly believe is the best pint in New Zealand. From the first sip to the last, you will taste the difference that comes from passion, training, and respect for tradition.

Our Story
O’Dowd’s was founded with the vision of creating a true Irish pub in the heart of Ellerslie. The goal was simple: to pour the best Guinness in New Zealand and to provide a welcoming place for the community to gather for food, sport, and live music.
Our founder worked with Guinness experts, importing the right equipment from Ireland and learning the techniques needed for the perfect pour. His passion for quality set the standard for everything O’Dowd’s would become.
The transformation of the former Doolan Brothers venue was about more than a refurbishment. It was about creating a space that locals could be proud of, blending Irish tradition with a fresh energy for Ellerslie. Every detail, from the atmosphere inside to the experiences on offer, was shaped with care.
Today, O’Dowd’s is a pub built on quality, community, and tradition. It is a place to enjoy a pint, share a meal, cheer for your team, and feel at home.
