Once a place of learning for Pakawau’s children, the Old School Café, Restaurant, and Bar has been a beloved local spot for over 20 years. Situated just across the road from the beautiful Pakawau Beach and campground, it’s the perfect place to relax—whether you’re starting your day with a coffee, enjoying a hearty lunch, or unwinding with an evening meal from our blackboard menu.

Fully licensed, we offer a great selection of wines, beers, and spirits to suit all tastes. With indoor and outdoor dining, a pool table, dartboard, and expansive gardens, there’s plenty of space to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.

Join us and experience the charm of the Old School Cafe — GO where the locals GO!
