It has the cutest outdoor area. I suggest dining out there in the bar area and not in the restaurant out the front. Their Asian Cuisine is divine - great for sharing. Weekends they usually have a DJ.

Quality but relaxed fair. Their gourmet burgers and chips are the best in Wellington (in my humble opinion)! Plenty of interesting beer choices for those hops lovers. Freshly made lemonade is pretty fine too. Perfect for lunch and dinner.

Best bar staff in town and their customised cocktails are spot on. Its kind of like a 1930's gentlemen's club meets Speakeasy joint. I recommend sitting at the bar and interacting with bar tenders while they're mixing your drinks.

This is the alternative side of the city but there's a fantastic mix of clothing stores, markets, buskers as well as restaurants and bars. Definitely the place to be and explore.

Beautifully refurbished Art Deco theatre. The main auditorium is magnificent. There's a lovely bar underneath as well. Great place for relaxing and having a tipple before the movie starts.
