Montezuma's Sangria
Housemade Mexican punch, made with wine, tequila, brandy, juices and our secret syrup
Ensada Red Agave IPA (ABV 6.5% / IBU 90)
The nectar from the heart of an agave plant provides a hint of sweetness to balance out the pleasant bitterness of hte hops, creating a unique twist on a traditional IPA. Two-row barley and dark crystal malts lend to the rich red hue of this very refreshing beer
Our Famous Margaritas
Frozen or shaken - traditional, flavoured, or seasonal - we have a Margarita with your name on it
Day of the Dead - Blond Ale (ABV 5.6% / IBU 18)
This is a golden coloured beer of excellent balance. It has medium body, mild caramel sweetness and a soft pleasant bitterness
Bana Stout (ABV 6% / IBU 30)
Our oatmeal stout has a lightly roasted character and a full creamy head. The nearly black body produces some coffee and chocolate notes in the aroma. A perfect beer to pair with dessert, it can also be dessert itself
Beers
We have brews from all over Mexico as well as local, light and full strength

Fun, vibrant and homely, Montezuma’s atmosphere and setting make it ideal for large groups and family meals (there is a diverse kids menu ‘for the little amigos’), though an excellent range of cocktails, over 30 Mexican beers, homemade sangria and other drinks makes it popular with young crowds looking for a relaxed night out. Still, it is undoubtedly the delicious, fresh food that has done the most to grow Montezuma’s reputation over the last 40 years.
The menu is huge and options diverse at Montezuma’s Crows Nest restaurant, so it’s impossible to imagine anyone not finding something memorable regardless of their spice tolerance, appetite, or particular taste preferences.
