Mayor of Ale is a Riccarton pub and sports bar built around the familiar combination of cold beer, substantial food and live sport. It opens from late morning every day, so the venue can cover lunch, an afternoon match, dinner or a later drink without changing location. Weekly quiz nights and Chase the Ace give local groups recurring reasons to visit beyond the sporting calendar.

The kitchen treats pub food as a broad category rather than a short list of fried standards. Snacks range from Southland cheese rolls and seafood chowder to za'atar focaccia with roast garlic hummus, falafel and pork belly bites. Seasonal salads, a mezze platter and charcoal-grilled chicken with Greek salad sit alongside nachos, giving groups lighter and plant-forward options as well as the expected shareable plates.

Larger dishes return to generous pub comfort. Burgers come in beef, chicken and vegetable versions, schnitzel can be ordered with several sauces, and the main list includes an Irish spice bag, ribeye, pork-belly roast, lamb shank and ale-battered Tasman Bay snapper. Dessert continues in the same spirit with sticky date pudding, chocolate lava cake and a brownie sundae, while a children's menu keeps family meals practical.

Beer remains central, with the tap selection supported by wine, cocktails, zero-alcohol drinks and coffee. On weekends, the Mayor's Long Lunch turns the venue into a group occasion, serving a shared platter of bao buns, calamari, fried chicken, focaccia, dips and chips with a choice of beverage package. That mix of everyday table bookings, live sport, regular events and a set social experience allows the pub to serve both spontaneous visits and planned celebrations.
