I regularly meet up with a big group of friends at this tucked-away beer bar, which has heaps of space for groups of different sizes. The ever-revolving beer menu can be a bit overwhelming but the staff are very helpful and patient when it comes to choosing a brew, and it’s a great opportunity to try a new beer you won’t find elsewhere in Wellington.

The beer is good, the owner is generous (still remember your Chch fundraiser Dom) and the staff clearly love their work. 

Hashigo Zake boasts a bounty of incredible craft beer, especially gems you will struggle to find elsewhere, plus those which come from abroad are imported with care by Hashigo themselves, so when the beer arrives in your glass you’re guaranteed that it is in the best condition possible. Plus the bar staff  are incredibly knowledgeable and super cute, with beards a plenty...bonus.

A mecca for craft beer lovers. The most incredible display of international bottled beer I have ever seen. The ever-changing beer list means there'll be something new literally every time you go. Live DJs on Saturdays if you can shift yourself out of that beer-induced, cosy little place and get those feet working. 

The first (?) craft beer pub in Wellington. Proudly doesn't sell Heineken

Can anyone say "Craft beer"? The thing to love about this place is the beer menu changes throughout the evening! When one keg empties, it's changed to another beer keeping you on your toes. THe underground bar is housed in a former police cell and the low lighting makes it the perfect place to enjoy a quiet drink. An absolute must if you're into craft beer.

The blackest most beautiful beer is likely to be found here. Every week there is something new to try.

Awesome beer selection, something for everyone, nice vibe as well; super cosy!

An incomparable craft beer list on tap or in bottles from all over the world. A must for all beer lovers. 

I love this place, there is always a fantastic vibe happening here and the food is always so much better than bar snacks. They currently have some chilli chips on sale. I dare you to try some they are crazy.
