The calamari is quite peppery... and really nice.
One of the best place in town
Drink here with the Yellow Fever. Always very hospitable to away fans. Top bunch.
The food is absolutely amazing!
Not bad for a quick lunch , chicken sandwich wrap was ok
It use to be great . Now it’s like a sports bar . Loud music have to shout to talk .
I recommend the Wild Rigatoni . Delicious.
I like the open stake sandwich. For breakfast it's good that you can mix different sides and make your favourite one. - Amir M.
There are historical displays recounting the history of the oldest pub in Wellington (and arguably in all of NZ). Oh, and they have beer. - badtom
