Pub in Wellington

“Lanes was a great spot for a quick bowling session and some drinks! We had some free time before heading to the airport, so we stopped by for a game of bowling—some of us grabbed drinks too. It was a great time! The place has a cool vibe, with retro games adding to the fun. The bowling lanes also have a unique touch with blue lighting, which gives it a different feel compared to most bowling alleys. The staff were awesome as well. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you have some time to kill and enjoy some retro games!”

“We rocked up a little late but great service (with a smile) greeted us. Wonderful atmosphere and warm on this windy winters night. Bottle of Cloudy Bay sauvignon blanc topped it off.”

“I have had lunch here on a weekday, and dinner on a Friday night but early. Both times I enjoyed the plant-based food and the atmosphere of the place. For dinner I had the fajita tofu bowl (pictured) - I cannot rant enough about how good and perfectly cooked their tofu is. Verrae nice: crunchy crust and not soggy. Both times I enjoyed having quite a few options to choose my meal from, and how fresh the ingredients are. It’s also handy that this restaurant is right on the beach, and handy for parking and the bus stops. Staff have been very responsive and helpful both times, so 5 stars it is! Will be back to try the other menu options.”

“Love Naomis coffees! Her Latte and Hot chocolate so delicious! Best hot chocolate ever! The milk texture & creamer on point! Had 3 hot chocolate today! Her coffees and smile just made my day! Pls let her know she’s doing an amazing job!”

“We will be forever grateful to Weddings at Foxglove for our amazing wedding. Alley you’re an absolute dream to work with, you made our day so seamless and stress free. I recommend you everywhere and to everyone. Our friends and family are still talking about the food and service. There’s absolutely nothing we’d have done differently, thank you!”

“This pub is everything you could possibly want from a local spot. Great food, great prices, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back. The staff are fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always up for a chat, which adds to the warm, relaxed vibe. Whether you're popping in for a casual drink, a meal with mates, or a weekend catch-up, this place delivers every time.”

“The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. If you're looking for a fun and memorable experience in Wellington, I highly recommend checking out this rooftop bar. Although the weather wasn’t great they had covered, heated seating areas where you can sit enjoy the view.”

“Devilskin We Rise 2024 Concert. A mother and daughter outlet.”

“Great spot, the refit has been done well, one of the better places to perch up in Central wellington. Anna the bar tender was great and some hilarious banter! Recommended”

“We had such a wonderful evening at Dillingers. The WOAP burger was delicious, nice cold beer and excellent quiz! A wonderful Tuesday out.”

“Love coco's - it is one of my regulars. Coco the owner is a fabulous hostess - she always remembers your order and is super friendly. Their menu is a hidden gem with something for everyone.”

“I originally came in one day with my friend we where abot worried as it was some of our first bars in wellington and we had a lovely night the staff where so incredible and its kept me coming back everytime, all the bartenders have been lovely and chatty to me as always as they do a great job at keeping younger women such as myself and my friends safe the duty managers often are running around and still servicing with a smile which is honestly amazing especially when it's so packed . The staff have made that place what it is, and it's a safe and great place to drink highly recommend.”

“Went here with my date and we both really enjoyed it. The free popcorn at the begining was definitely a highlight and if nothing else, we'll be back for more of that! The Mac and cheese was literally bubbling when it was served and the cauliflower was just awesome. The chicken tenders were great, had a bit of a kick to them that neither of us were expecting but weren't disappointed by either. Our server was friendly and helpful when we had questions. Will definitely be back!!”

“Great spot for a quiet drink. Kitchen was closed but snacks available - enjoyed the Hawaiian pizza”

“I came here a whil ago and was not impressed with the steak. However decided to come today, and i could not fault my scotch fillet steak, cooked med rare, tasted amazing. Long horn double patty burger looked delicious and mouth watering, the patties were cooked to perfection and the flavors awesome. Kids nugget meal, fresh nuggets!! Kidsmeal free on sundays. Customer service, lady was super nice and chef stayed open even when we arrived cutting it close for kitchen to close. Desserts were yumm too.”

“First of all this is a pub not a fancy restaurant - set your expectations accordingly. Having said that the food is excellent value for money and a big range of options on the menu and specials board and an amazing selection of sweets in the cabinet. Have had the "small" beef burger here and it's just spot on, usually can't finish the fries that come with it (hey have small/large sizes that really should be described as big/huge). Friendly service at the counter, clean and tidy premises and what looked like a number of locals in for Monday lunch - clearly popular.”

“We used the function area for a 21st recently.The service and food were outstanding. Staff were very responsive and keen to make our evening as enjoyable as possible. Communication was excellent and the food platters were huge and extremely good value for money. Highly recommended and would hold another event here in the future.”

“Watched football and some good softball. Only the weather let things down. Pies from the Ricoh cafe were yummy!!!”

“The establishment recently underwent a change in ownership, and we had the opportunity to dine there a few weeks following the transition. We found the cuisine to be exceptional, and the service was both prompt and outstanding. The quality of service significantly enhanced my dining experience, making it highly likely that I will return.”

“Friendly service, Gr8 atmosphere & interiors & immaculately crafted food. Best Beer battered Fish & chips I've had in Aotearoa so far.”

“Amazing service, delicious food and creative meals, everything we needed to uplift the energy on a could rainy day ✨”

“We’ve been here a couple times since the new ownership and have been really impressed. Food was excellent, really friendly service and prices are great also. Really impressed — keep up the good mahi.”

“Best place for Tui b4 bus trip home”

“My aunty and her sisters came here for dinner last night. She asked me to write a review bc she's not on Social Media. It was quiet but my aunt liked that bc they could chat. The lady who served us was lovely. She always let us know what was happening w our food. Loved her service! The kai was "smashing" so one of my aunts said. That one had the burger chicken. My aunt, Luana, thought the caramized steak was beautiful, she almost licked the plate and the salad was crispy and delicious. We were so full, we brought our puddings home. We had chocolate ice cream parfait w golden kiwi. Beautiful! We will definitely be back again, compliments to the chef and the lovely waitress!”

“Great atmosphere and pretty good food too.”

“Ordered the platter for two, plenty of food, fast service, good eating”

“This is a hidden gem ... If you are in wellington CBD you should definitely visit chow restaurant... Food was delicious the mocktails were amazing ... Plenty of seating ... Staff were lovely”

“Great location, the were able to accommodate all 30 of us, and the space worked really well for 13 kids in our group! Everyone enjoyed the food, my wife and I went for the schnitzel which was a decent size, and came paired with really nice coleslaw salad an sauce. I had the chance my son's fried chicken which was delicious! there was a lot going on for a Sunday, as they had salsa dancing and the music was LOUD! we didn't mind, but some in our group made a comment as they couldn't hear each other. I'd say it's a great place with very nice atmosphere, and they have great food and fantastic service, will definitely come again.”

“Got badly let down by rosies red hot so came here for the first time. Blew every other Mexican gaff in welly out of the water. The best service we've had anywhere - amazing on the phone, great staff inside and simply amazing food. Walked past many times - this is now a firm family favorite.”

“We opted for a range of share plates in lieu of mains - the pull-apart garlic loaf, pork belly bites, bacon wrapped scallops and calamari. Four plates was enough to fill two of us up, and the food was AMAZING - just good food well prepared and executed. I stepped out to take a phone call and by the time I came back, our food had arrived. The staff were awesome - personable, attentive, authentic and helpful. Kate in particular put us right at ease and was the consummate host. A nice, quiet table, great music not too loud to preclude conversation, and staff that seem like they actually want to be here dealing with you... that was the point of difference! Highly recommended.”
