Pub in Wellington

“Full house for a Tue dinner service (before a sellout show at MFC). Be sure to book! Burrata, flatbread, snapper crudo, gnocchi, wagyu flank, half lamb shoulder (classic they'll hopefully never stop serving), sides of cauli & fries - between 4. All dishes were perfectly on point flavour-wise and generous enough to share. Everyone left satisfied and still recalling the yum hours later. Service was attentive and friendly but unprentious. Unique and broad selection of wines (cocktails a bit slow, but it was busy). Overall a very memorable meal and will for sure continue to recommend to others for special occassions, and return.”

“Absolutely lovd Leroys! They've got a spacious outdoors area with a chill but fun vibe inside. The food is incredible, and they have a great tap list with plenty of options. The bar staff are super friendly and always go above and beyond... Shout out to Poppy! There's also a pool table and a nifty upstairs spot which I heard is perfect for events. Best spot in town by far!”

“One of our favourite finds on our NZ holiday - great atmosphere and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had”

“Great place for a drink on a sunny afternoon in Wellington. Friendly staff, good ambiance, good music. Choose up or downstairs they even have a balcony. Makes you feel a bit like being in London with a touch of sunshine and clean air.”

“Always a great experience. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 90’s movie theatre.”

“Havana Bar was recommended to us on a Wellington review page. Everything was really excellent. The atmosphere was cozy. The music and the lights were appropriate for our conversation. The food and drinks were delicious and at a fair price. We highlight the ceviche, you must try it! We will definitely come back to enjoy the night of live music.”

“Come for the Star Wars decor, stay for the drinks and Pomodoro Pizza. The fine folks at Pizza Pomodoro informed me that if I would like to enjoy their pizza in a place with tables and seats (PP has only two very small tables) that Goldings had plenty of those AND sold their pizza there as well. So we went to Goldings and it was exactly as advertised. Best of both worlds and a bigger drink selection. Will be happy to return many many times in the future.”

“Very cool vibe, spacious and authentic, these are the words is choose due Hataitai's cool new micro-brewery. With a little range of other beers to compliment their own Pale Ale, beer snobs and their friends will all be satisfied. Yummy snacks keep you going as the evening sun encourages you to stick around longer. Go here and enjoy seeing the club evolve and grow.”

“Very good spot for our spontaneous WOAP burger pick for the night, welcoming staff who were easy going and inviting & yummy food & drinks! We tried the adult mango-lime drink there will definitely be back to try another flavour ☺️”

“Fantastic food and coffee. Traditional brunch good as well as gourmet burgers and beautifully presented tacos and quesadillas. Pleasant outdoor seating area for lunch in the sun or shade.”

“Hidden gem. This place's esthetic is true Japanese and yet, it's blended so well with good world beer and the art of conversation. Dominic, the bar owner made me feel welcomed and we chatted about the world and beer for ages. They made me great beer recommendations and made me a stonkin' vegan sandwich (pulled jackfruit). Low-key. Friendly. Tasty beer and snacks. Top marks!”

“What a hidden gem!! Super tender and crispy chicken and yummy sauces, also very reasonably low price for the portion you get! You can also order online and it only took 5min for my order to be ready :) Just an FYI I got the kimchi bowl which is the only bowl that doesn’t include steamed rice which I didn’t notice.”

“I wish all airport bars were this good! Best beer on tap in the airport and at reasonable prices that make whiling away the time a great option!

“Shout out to the crew who were working the lunch service 1/11/25. Good food, outstanding service. Conversational engaged staff, and even managed to sell a couple of us another drink without being in our faces about it. We'll be back, and I'll tell friends.”

“Crumpet is such a nice place for having a drink and small talks or deep conversations. The vibe of this place is so good and relaxing, especially with the candle on the table. However, when the shop is full of people, it is getting a little busy and noisy, but it still provides good vibes. For the crew at Crumpet, they are very knowledgeable in making the drink. We ordered a drink based on our own taste, and they made it so good! Overall, Crumpet is recommended!”

“This bar is a hidden gem, capable of bringing out the pirate in anyone! The thrill of discovering this place was truly rewarding. The atmosphere and decor are remarkable, with artificial skulls on the wall showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Every corner offers unique seating options and ambiance, making the experience truly special. The staff is delightful and enjoyable to chat with. The "Skull Punch" drink, served with a spectacular fiery show, is a definite recommendation for the thrilling experience it provides. Exploring the various rum-based cocktails was a fun adventure. Surprisingly, the place wasn't overly busy for a Friday night, adding to the overall positive experience.”

“adorable and this pizza is insane. best pie i've had in months.”

“Incredibly friendly staff and delicious food at terrific value. We ordered quite a spread to try out a few different things. The portions were very generous and well priced. The basil aioli is absolutely wonderful! It's the little things. Very comfortable environment too. Loved the place. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area!”

“Have been able to try many of the dinner options. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The venison and lamb have been cooked perfectly, tender and succulent. Fresh gourmet veges, jus and sauces. Highly recommend any of the dishes. The duck was also amazing.”

“There's not many times I rate places highly, but this is one of those – A fabulous evening for our, sort of, party of five (one was takeout due to illness) Our recent visit was an absolute delight, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. We were a party of five, and the quality of both food and service exceeded expectations. Mains Birria Tacos (2 orders): The beef was exceptionally tender and juicy, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Roasted Pepper Quesadilla: A standout dish with a perfectly crisp exterior, balanced by rich, melted cheese and tender roasted vegetables and fruits. Roasted Cauliflower: Simple yet delicious, this dish was well-seasoned and delicious. Chicken Quesadilla (Takeaway): Our youngest, who was unfortunately unable to join us due to a migraine, thoroughly enjoyed this dish at home. He said it was “really nice”. Sharing Plate Salsas and Dips with Corn Chips: A great starter for the table. The trio of dips was well-received, with the group informally ranking them 1-3 from left to right as presented in the picture. While the green dip was the least favoured, all were enjoyed and complemented the chips well. Desserts Churros (2 orders, 1 takeaway): These were a highlight. Both in-house and takeaway servings were praised for their crisp texture and were perfectly paired with chocolate and caramel sauces. In-House Special Sponge with Ice Cream (2 orders): A refined dessert with soft sponge and delicate flavours that matched beautifully with the ice cream. Overall, the experience was outstanding. The menu offered a limited, but wonderful variety, and each dish was crafted with care. We look forward to returning and highly recommend this restaurant to others.”

“Came here to get the wagyu. Tried the bruschetta and it was delicious. The balsamic sauce and the hummus were so good together, tomatoes were fresh, and the bread was tasty as well. My seasonal fruit mojito was super tangy but tasted great. Had some spencer potatoes as well which was a good addition to my main, which was the A5 Kagoshima Wagyu. Literally melted in my mouth, it was super fatty and was so good together try for the first time. For dessert I tried their seasonal fruit sorbet, which was icy, and at the time the sorbet was very tangy, but was good overall. I also got the layered honey cake which was 10/10.”

“GREAT stop for amazing beers and good food. We like Stouts and IPAs and they didn’t disappoint!! Staff was super friendly. Absolutely would go again.”

“Friendly local pub to keep up with the sports but also a space for a family-friendly environment for a quiet catch-up or to celebrate with your family and friends. Awesome daily specials. Their homemade pizza is amazing and completely worth it. A hit with adults and kids.”

“A neat little bar tucked away from any main road that has an outstanding collection of craft beer, a quirky menu and, if you’re there at the right time, live music. This little treasure is always worth a visit”

“A good place for beers after work, good selection of beers thar are regularly updated. Expect it to be busy if its straight after work, with it being quieter a couple of hours after. Don't forget to sample the beers if you aren't sure whether you like it, staff are helpful and knowledgeable”

“I frequent Panhead Tory fairly regularly as I live near by. Always love the beer and appreciate trying something different than their standard can range. Food is very good too. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“Not sure why, but every time I attend a gig here, this kid in booty shorts tells me I'm too drunk to be served. It keeps happening. Quite annoying because every time I want a beer I have to leave the premises, go to Hotel Bristol, order from a grown-up, sink my drink in like 90 seconds then head back to San Fran, hoping I haven't missed too much of the set i've paid good money to see. I'd recommend some staff training.”

“Hidden gem in the heart of city, might take a while to find the entrance at the first time but totally worth taking the adventure! No menu offered but warm gestures by the bartender with his wide knowledge and play magic to the create the tasty cocktail based on your preference. Love everything here, such a great spot to enjoy a peaceful quiet time at the balcony overlooking the busy street”

“Been on my bucket list like forever, finally got to try it for the first time!! And oh my lord I should've come here earlier.... Food was great, staff awesome, coffee good. Had the scrambled tofu and it's so flavorful! Will definitely be coming back!”

“✅✅✅✅✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Deeeeeelicious!!! High quality ingredients, prepared to a high standard, presented authentically, and with perfect condiments to heighten the Vietnamese experience. Would recommend for: -Corporate entertaining -Date nights -Solo treats -Small gatherings The only thing to elevate this to flawless would be to have a mixologist to tie in the Vietnamese flavour profiles. We wouldn’t have left, and the bill would have happily been tripled.”
