Crafted Drinks. Genuine Hospitality

Located in the heart of Methven, Amara is the town’s only cocktail bar. A space where handcrafted drinks, thoughtful food and genuine hospitality come together.

Our cocktails are designed by an experienced bartender built with house-made syrups, infusions and a deep appreciation for classic technique. Alongside a carefully curated selection of Aotearoa’s finest wine and craft beer, our menu is made for sharing with your favourite people.

Whether you are winding down after a day exploring the surrounds, celebrating something special or you are simply looking for a great drink and conversation, you will always find a warm welcome at Amara.

Cosy up, settle in, we’ll see you at the bar!
