Edz Sportz Bar

Eddie Staiger, a Dairy Farmer from New Zealand’s Hauraki Plains. Like a lot of guys, dreamed of one day having his own pub. He knew what it needed to be like because he’d been in a couple! Just a modest bar, not too flashy, showing heaps of sports, especially the Rugby!!

It’s got to have nice cold beer at a reasonable price. (He hated being ripped off!) Somewhere you can get a good meal and makes you feel welcome every time you go there. It’s got to have a bottleshop too so you can take home a “roadie” or grab a carton for the weekend. Preferably near the beach because that’s where he grew up.
 “Don’t expect me to do too much, that’s why I’ve got you kids!” he would say.

Maybe a few hours in the bottleshop, otherwise he’d be having a cold one with the locals. Sound familiar? Who wouldn’t want to live like that?? Unfortunately in 2005, illness struck Eddie down way too early and all that knew him were devastated. But just as he would have wanted, we picked ourselves up and dusted ourselves off and in 2007, Edz Sportz Bar was born! Serving cold beers at a reasonable price and showing plenty of the Rugby.
He would be loving it! We hope you will too.
