Queenstown is famous for adventure, stunning scenery, and a dining scene that can seriously dent your wallet. But every Tuesday night, Beech Tree flips the script — pulling together the kind of laid-back, affordable, taco-fuelled evening that tourists and locals alike have quietly made their standing weekly plan.
If you’ve been hunting for Taco Tuesday in Queenstown, you’ve just found it.
Every Tuesday, Beech Tree — Queenstown’s favourite craft beer bar on Beach Street — offers a special Taco Tuesday deal that brings together great food and even better drinks at prices that don’t require a second mortgage.
Tucked inside one of Queenstown’s cosiest bar spaces (yes, there’s a fireplace), Taco Tuesday is the perfect excuse to settle in for the night. Whether you’re a solo traveller looking for a friendly spot, a couple after a casual midweek bite, or a group of mates who’ve earned a proper sit-down meal after a day on the mountain — Tuesday night at Beech Tree has your name on it.
There’s no shortage of taco spots in Queenstown. Taco Medic has the lane-side takeaway vibe, El Camino runs the cantina scene, and a few other bars dabble in Tuesday deals. But Beech Tree brings something different to the table:
1. Craft Beer on Tap — 26 Rotating Taps
You’re not just getting tacos. You’re getting tacos paired with one of the best craft beer selections in the country. With 26 rotating taps of New Zealand’s finest craft beer — from crisp lagers and hoppy IPAs to rich stouts and unexpected sours — Beech Tree gives every taco a worthy companion. The staff know their beer, too. Ask for a recommendation and they’ll match your mood to a pint.
2. A Proper Bar Atmosphere
No plastic chairs and takeaway wrappers here. Beech Tree is a full bar experience — cosy booth seating, board games on the shelf, music that hits right, and a fireplace that makes every Tuesday feel like exactly the right night to stay out a little longer.
3. Central Queenstown Location
Right on Beach Street in the heart of town, Beech Tree is easy to find and even easier to fall into after a day of sightseeing, skiing, or hiking. No need to Uber out to Frankton or trek up a hill — it’s all happening in the middle of it all.
4. Dog-Friendly
Brought your four-legged mate on holiday? Beech Tree is one of Queenstown’s most welcoming dog-friendly bars. Your dog is as welcome at Taco Tuesday as you are.
Doors open from the afternoon, but Tuesday night really gets going from early evening. Grab a table (bookings are smart for groups), pick your taco, order a pint from the tap list, and let the night take shape. The atmosphere is warm and unfussy — exactly what a great Tuesday night should feel like.
The food menu extends well beyond tacos, too. If someone in your group isn’t feeling Mexican, Beech Tree’s kitchen has you covered with their full menu of burgers, wings in ten different flavours, platters, and their legendary rib-eye steak.
Beech Tree isn’t just about Tuesdays. Here’s a quick rundown of what else is on:
