About

Opened in 2012 at the corner of Bacon St and Niagara Ave under the NZ Eats restaurant family, Raglan Public House was named after the surf-town home of co-founders Matt Baker and P.J. Lamont's New Zealand-inspired gastropub concept. 100% USDA Organic grass-fed beef burgers and sliders — the Bare Lamb, Hogs n' Heffers, Black Bean Kiwilango, plus the NZ Sausage Roll appetizer with Vegemite-style onion dip — anchor a Kiwi-themed gastropub menu that runs in the same Bacon Street pub corridor as Long Story Irish Pub. Twenty-four craft taps backed by a cocktail program and a pallet-table garden patio drive the late-morning-to-late-night service window that has earned the corner Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite recognition since 2017. A weekend brunch service launching mid-morning expands the menu with breakfast slider builds and Bloody Marys, slotting Raglan into the same OB weekend-brunch crowd that fills The Holding Company up the block. The half-block-from-Pier location and 27-foot mirrored map of New Zealand surf spots overlaid with the OB Pier define the dining-room interior, which doubles as a private-event venue for surf-team gatherings, rugby viewings on the bar's flat-screens, and large-party reservations.
