The Green Dragon Inn Review

No better way to top off the tour than a stop at the Green Dragon for a pint or two. Truly magical place!

Thank you Alexander farm for taking us to another world.

Wonderful experience with a complimentary drink after the Hobbiton tour.

Fantastic fantasy place from the films that, met all my expectations, very friendly staff

Absolutely fabulous. One of the best ales in NZ. A truly magical place.

Awesome pub. Shame you can't visit all the time as it's in hobbiton!

They serve a lovely cool cider here, hobbits, wizards and humans welcome.

Any word is less how make a string to say, awesome 10/10

Make sure to do the evening banquet to make the most of the green dragon. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! Worth every penny

Awe to on the set where The Lord of the Rings was filmed.

Not so crowded during winter period. Perfect place to chill. Complimentary drink are awesome.

I was in my dream , I think)
This place is cosy and magnificent ) I wanna come back)

The Green Dragon - and Hobbiton in general - is an amazing experience. Even if you're not a Tolkien fan, you can't fail to appreciate the work that has gone into creating this magical and immersive place.

Didn't get to appreciate it very long. You only get a 15 minute window to sit down in the pub after your tour. Very beautiful setting but could get more bang for your buck.

Loved Hobbiton we had so much fun and the Green Dragon inn is a beautiful place. A perfect ending to the tour.

I'm a proud waikato resident. The tour guide was great fun and my granddaughters had a great time. Pizza at the cafe was a delicious way to end the tour

The film set of Lord of the Rings, what's not to like.

A lot of work went into this place. Incredible end to a great tour. The beer was ok as well.
Be a great p lace for a cold winters night out on the turps

Hobbiton has to be done as a tourist and LOTR fan but, objectively, it is overpriced and not great value for money. Tour guide wasn't great and rushed us around with hardly any time for pictures. Far too many tourists there at the same time to get an unspoilt view and a shame you can't go inside many of the Hobbit holes but don't regret going. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Most of the day was taken up travelling by bus from Rotorua. Long journey.

Fantastic, great beers, so authentic, made me feel like a real hobbit :D

Beyond anazing! Tour guide excelkent. A must see in New Zealand

Really cute pub. Would have liked to stay there longer.

Great place. The tour is a must for anyone who has seen the film's and enjoys beautiful scenery. Bring a camera.

A free drink at the Green Dragon is part of the tour of the Hobbiton movie set. You can buy some snacks and drinks as extra. My kids had a piece of pork pie each. I think the pub can be booked for private functions. The overall hobbiton experience was excellent.

Strangely Hobbiton movie set was a highlight of the trip. Makes rewatching the movies more interesting.

Beautifully recreated to look just like the Hobbit movies

The place is just as amazing as you might imagine. We were even more impressed with the entire staff however. Every staff person we encountered was bubbly and enthusiastic, and made us feel like our once-in-a-lifetime experience was also one of THEIR most exciting days too. They clearly love their jobs! We will never forget our time here. Thank you!

You are ported to the world of Hobbits. Everyrhing. 'nuff said.

Nice place if you are in to it, i would definitly love to spend some more time

Lovely experience as part of the Hobbiton tour. We got a free beer. There were clothes off middle Earth which we could wear as well :)

What an amazing place!!! It's like living inside the movie, the details are great!!!! And the drinks.... perfect!

Seen the movie, got the tshirt, and now being here in person completes the geek out moment. Food was great but the beers were weak sauce, i think 1% alcohol? ! a real hobbit would be hobbity mad and tear out his ear hairs over the weak beer. The gift shop can be bigger too, just saying.

Try to find the Green Dragon, inside the bar, it Smaug or another? The warmth of the fire and cushy leather chair was a great spot to enjoy a mug of ale or cider. The drink was complimentary but the atmosphere was priceless for this Tolkien fan.

Great pub at the end of a tour. Would love to have this place on my corner

We got free drink as a part of the tour. Not sure how beer tasted but my ginger beer (non alcoholic) was amazing. Didn t have enough time to try anything else as our tour was but rushed; although it was very cozy inside, sitting next to fire place and experiencing hobbit atmosphere :)

What a wonderful place to share a toast with friends, perhaps discussing your last adventure, or even the next one. The charm and decor take you back to another time and place. I wish this was available to go to on a regular basis!

The BEST! The food was delicious and the drinks were as well. Truly, do the Banquet Tour, you won't regret it.

Straight from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies the only thing missing are the Hobbits

Great drinks and very authentic experience, really felt like I was part of the fellowship and about to journey to Mordor.

The evening banquet was great. Loved all the little seating nooks

one of the most fun things I've done in a travel was to book the early hobbiton tour that included a second breakfast in the green dragon and with my family! It was abundant tasty and well done! If you are a person who loves Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and you do not do the early tour with a full breakfast you will be missing out in the experience. The tour of hobbiton is magical and even though it was raining it added a depth of color and Splendor to the whole thing. In hobbiton nothing can dampen the spirit.

Amazing way to finish off the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour. Their stout is delicious.

An amazing set and an awesome experience!! Definetly a must!!

I enjoyed seeing the set of the movies. Would love to go again.

Stop off for your pot of ginger beer or real beer after your tour of the shire. They did supply costumes for you to dress up and take photos a really good way to end the tour

It's an interesting and lovely place for a short break after the Hobbit tour, grab your ale and enjoy the rest of your time before leaving. The beers are brewed only in the Green Dragon Inn, you won't get them elsewhere.

This was an amazing experience! The food was wonderful. There are only 2 suggestions that I have:- Ramp up the heat before the guests arrive. I'm not sure if the front door was open most of the time, but I spent most of the night in my winterweight down jacket. I had taken it off when we sat down to eat, but after 20mins of getting cold, i put it back on. Secondly, the desert was very nice, but for those that don't have a sweet tooth, what about a cheese platter, showcasing the best of our cheeses?

Great end to The Hobbiton tour, the stout and food were really good value for money.

Nice to have seen the place the movies were made. Will go again.

Very well done. Great drinks and although we weren't here long we had a great experience.

Snuck me 2nd-sies and 4th-sies beers. Reliving the glorious ride of the ring wraiths through the shire

Loved Hobbiton and a drink at the Green Dragon was the perfect finish to an awesome experience. The green dragon was everything I expected from seeing the movies.
