We came from Auckland for short trip with family. We don't drink, we just want to have meal. I had Mike Tyson burger as vegetarian meal (strange name for vegetarian food). The burger was very thick, fillings were mainly big portobello mushroom and crispy grilled haloumi cheese. Surprise Surprise! The vegetarian burger was so good! I didn't expect this at pub. usually they concentrate meat menu. So if you are vegetarian and looking for pub in Wellington, I recommend you here. I wish they have more filling vegetarian menu.
One of my favourite places in the Wellington CBD. Great location with attentive and efficient staff. The food always provides a great selection of options, with the lunch menu being extremely extensive. Something for everyone.
Plus ...... if you are after a cheeky yet good selection of beers, then look no further.
Nice place to hang out with friends during night. My husband rdered an ale and it tasted great. With a little sweet taste in the end, it reminded me of what I had in China.
Fried chicken were not spicy at all although we ordered the most spicy one. But the original flavour was not bad.
We loved this place! The vibes are so good! And the food is just as amazing!
We tried the market fish, buttermilk fried chicken popcorn, chicken parmigiana and the ultimate sundae. SO YUM!

Three of my favourite foods exist here and cook well. The seafood chowder, the chicken and of course the curry fries which are a real treat. Probably not the cheapest bar for drinks, but the food is pretty good and the staff are really great.
Delicious food with lots of choices, hearty servings fab wine list with different sized pours, perfect for lunch time drinks, great staff, fast service, quirky decor... what more could you want in an Irish pub ☘️ we will definitely come back👌
Went out for lunch and tried out the new menu
We had the Mike Tyson burger which contained halloumi, roasted mushroom, beetroot hummus and rocket and basil mayonnaise which came with fries and the Big Roast Chicken Salad
Food was very nice
Staff were very friendly
Great service food was yum! But the restaurant was very loud with only a curtain between the pub and where you eat. Would be great to have more of a separation.
Have been a couple of times for lunch and dinner...recommend booking a table as we went for dinner last night and it was busy but we were looked after. The food and service were great...love the fries and the chicken pieces were delish!!! I ordered the Southern Chook which I devoured!!! Although it was packed and a function/event was going on the staff were very accommodating and the place has a cool little vibe!!! Will definately be back soon!!!
Lovely food, decent pub portions. Great selection of food. Friendly service. Recommend the prawn entree, fish of the day, spinach pizza and the panacotta to finish.
Had the best meal here before a comedy show only to find that I'd lost my tickets, our waitress Vickie went above and beyond to help us and ended up printing the tickets for us out back. Save the night, everyone in Wellington should go there, brilliant food, awesome service.
Have been here so many times and I really enjoy eating at The Green Man, though it can get quite busy and loud. Two of us ordered the 300g beef fillet with a side of chips and a side of vegetables with mushroom sauce. Fillet was cooked perfectly. Sauce was so yummy. The other person ordered the Hurricanes meal in the man size which he enjoyed. Service was really good and our waitress was lovely.
$15 steak night. Cooked to perfection, great sized steaks and very worth it. The beers and wines flow easy here and it's a great place for a Friday after work drink. Will always be my number one. Keep it.
I go there for business lunch. Food are okay. Good selection of drink. Good location and friendly staff. Can't find fault. Their steak was good.
My work colleague and I had lunch here and what a buzzing funky little bar/restaurant. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the calamari salad which was cooked perfectly! I will definitely be back again :) We loved the peacock feature wall too!
Best value breakfast in town. $10 brekkie had everything but just smaller portion. Very well cooked, not oily and well presented. Would certainly come back again.
This place is always buzzing. Had lunch today with my workmates and I always opt for the Bangers and Mash with Coke. One of my favorite meals at this restaurant. The fish and chips and the burgers are also great! Lovely place to also have a few drinks at when the band is playing.
Service was swift. Food was tasty and decent sized portions also. Probably had I posted this shortly after our evening out it would have been better to give the meals the review it deserved.
It is a very rare occurrence for me to give a pub such a high rating. The service here is not always the fastest but the food is well worth waiting for. The burgers here are astounding. I’ve had the beef burger and the chicken burger and they were both excellent. The beef was cooked medium-rare and the chicken thigh was succulent and moist. The other ingredients were tasty and fresh and the fries and aioli are both winners. The decor here is eclectic and the atmosphere is relaxed. As mentioned, the service can be slow and this is something they should really work on, but I am completely won over by the food. I’m lucky that this place is my local!
This place has a great menu, such a large variety to choose from. From pizzas and steak through to pastas, wings and burgers plus loads more. The wait staff are always friendly and the meals are good value for money. It has a relaxed pub atmosphere but can get quite busy at peak times. Highly recommended for traditional pub fare.
Great place to meet for drinks as well as casual dining. They also have areas for booking private functions and great catering.
Can get pretty noisy but in fairness to The Green Man the noise level is a testament to how popular it is!
really good food, both the bar snacks and mains. the chicken wings are delicious, especially the hottest ones! the service is generally good
Have been here multiple occasions for corporate events, dinner and just drinks. Every time I go service is fantastic and food is always perfect. You do pay a little bit more but it's worth it for the atmosphere they create, a long with the service. Bar staff have a massive part to play in this as you never have to get out of your table for the service
The girlfriend and I were going to go catch a movie in town and wanted somewhere to have dinner - had heard about this place from a friend who said their food was pretty good so went to try it out.
I got the Chicken Burrito and my girlfriend got the Roasted Chicken Breast. The chicken was outstanding in both meals, succulent and not dry at all!! Only complaint I have was that I would of liked more sour cream - but that is because I love the stuff. Staff did take a little while to serve us, but was a busy night so wasn't too fussed - food came out decently quick and we didn't miss the movie.
A place that I would definitely recommend.
Love this place. Had a wonderful meal with some girlfriends form out of town and loved the band afterwards. What a cool place.
I've eaten here a couple of times now and have enjoyed the informal atmosphere. I love fresh fish and the chefs seem to be able to cook it perfectly every time.
There were nine of us in the group and we all enjoyed dinner and then hitting the dance floor afterwards. A great place to catch up and meet other people.
Only ever been here for their $15 for 500g steaks! The sauces were delicious and even though there was some chewy areas I didn't eat it was still $15 for 500g!! And this was only a tiny but and the rest was delicious. Have had it twice now and will definitely be back! Staff have always been great
I was tempted to try out the steak offer here with a friend. $15 for 500g and mushroom sauce and chips, it seemed like a dream come true.
The steak I had was cooked good and the only qualms I had was that it was a little burnt and a quarter of the steak I couldn't chew through - might I point out that I'm still young and have all my teeth intact.
Couldn't say anything about the chips though, best I've ever had at a restaurant, full stop. I was tempted to take some off my friend's plate when she offered but with some self control, I refrained.
For dessert, we ordered the churros with ice cream and shared it. All in all, it was a very satisfying meal.
We had a mid-week wintery lunch at Green Man recently. Although predominantly a bar, there are several food options available as well as an all day barsnacks menu. I had a main of seafood chowder, which was deliciously thick, full of seafood and served with slightly-burnt ciabatta. It was a huge portion considering it was on the 'light meal' menu and much larger than my friend's Greenman Fun-Guy mushroom dish from the 'substantial' menu (although both priced at $18.50). Our service was basic and efficient. The Green Man gets extremely busy on Fridays and some evenings but has a convivial pub atmosphere and a small outdoor area. A good weekday lunch venue.
Came here for an early dinner and loved the steak. The place look a bit cold and sterile from the outside but inside is cool, lots of different spaces. Good beers, good food, good service - no complaints from me other than looking forward to the next visit.
Had a work party here ages ago and was awesome! Even scored a free drink for dancing like a pro :P ahahah Great team of people and the food and drinks were absolutely top notch!!! A+
I enjoyed their set-up and pool was great , lots of ways to keep entertained and the staff were very helpful in suggesting new drinks for us to try. Bar tab ran out quick :P
Great place.
My husband and I popped in to The Green Man for lunch when we were in Wellington a couple of weeks ago.
This pub has a great atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and the service was speedy. Our meals were very tasty, in particular the flavours in the soup were just delicious.
We will be back again for sure.
Just had lunch with workmates at The Green Man and have to say that everything was very good! I had the Steak special for $15 which was a 500g rump steak with fries and mushroom sauce along with garlic bread and hot vegetables and everything was tasty. The steak was huge and cooked to perfection! The staff are friendly and helpful and the variety on the menu makes this a must return to place for me! Good food and good service - will definitely go back....Thank you for a great lunch experience!
I'd brought website voucher deals twice for this pub - and would feel comfortable returning to pay full price!
The first time around I wasn't expecting all too much so played it safe. I ordered buffalo wings, fries and later on got a steak and a pint. The service was superb! Although there was a wee wait (approx 20-30mins), this could be expected anywhere. The second time around I returned without question to have a quick meal before going to a movie - This confirmed that this is the place to go if you want a decent meal at a great price with good service!!
If you're into thick cuts of scotch fillet steak at around $40+, this may not be the place to go. However, if you're after a well priced meal with tasty tenderised marinated rump steaks (or a great selection of other food and hops) - The Greenman has this covered!
I have decided to have another go, I have given 5 stars as the restaurant manager and waiter service was outstanding. Plus the chicken wings and the pork belly were very nice and tender, taste was just right, not salty. I had the lamb rump, taste was very nice, the meat were juicy and have some blood. yum!!!
We are planning to go for a quiz night. and they have 12 wings plus a jug of beer for $30... will go back to do that
We were gifted a couple of vouchers for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it!. The service from our waiter from what he told us was his fourth day on the job is a paragon of excellence that many of his peers could learn. I ordered the duck again while she had a generous serving of terakihi with cajun spice. Service was very fast and the food was great. We'll definitely visit again.
We bought a couple of vouchers from Spreets and must say it was a great deal. The service is the best in Wellington, the food was delicious. The ambiance was very nice, music not loud and annoying, candles on the table all in a very nice room. Definitively we'll visit again.
My husband and I came here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was delicious and the service outstanding. The staff were very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A great experience all round, we'll certainly be back!
Took my wife and in Laws here on a Thursday night. We had the Confit Duck, Rib eye Steak the Market fish and my mother in law had the vegetarian entree and main. We we're all very impressed with the food and service. The dining area is really cool!. The best food and friendliest staff we've had in Wellington! Recommend it!
Husband and I both got steaks cooked to our differing tastes perfectly. Really enjoyed the food and the service.
Very much enjoyed the Maori bread and the rabbit dish. Decor is great. Pleasurable experience with very friendly and helpful staff. Will definately return soon!
The team is very attentive and friendly.
We booked a table for two. The service was very speedy and I always love that especially with an empty tummy.
Casual and spacious sports pub, it was busy though it was Wednesday night.
Great place for a large group gathering.
We were there for Wellington on a Plate and had PIE CURIOUS burgers. Very big and filling!
The food was great & very tasty. My steak was cooked to perfection . The staff were very friendly & attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is relaxed & comfortable with a few dining options including the watch sport on tv without it interrupting our conversation.
Delicious food all round.
Steak and chips with mushroom sauce which was perfectly seasoned
Chicken burger was full of flavour with perfectly crispy batter
Korean pork belly bites were saucy and the snack portion was a generous serving.
All round great meals and I would definitely go back.
Had a great experience overall. had steak and chips as it was their special that night. Beautifully cooked. Had the mushroom sauce which had mushrooms in it and was yummy. They make a fantastic margherita here. Decent. Will come back for that and the relaxed vibe. Enjoyed the funky decor.
Definately a place with some character, the staff were great, the food and drinks were very nice. At first I got worried about eating a pink chicken burger but then realised it was just the seasoning. It's definitely a hot spot and local spot, keep up the great work
Great place to watch games with easy reservation via Google. Fun and funky aesthetic with great wings and overall really great food (garlic bread was wonderful). Limited options for vegetarians and the less adventurous. Service was warm and welcoming, but a little stretched on a busy evening. Recommend!
Efficient service, good staff, delicious hot stew on a wet day! Classic boisterous pub. Great place to unwind after work with colleagues if you're after a beer and unpretentious comfort food.
*edit* fire alarm went off and we all had to evacuate, but that's whatever
Delicious boneless wings with your choice of heat / spice and a creamy ranch dip with chips
Well worth it; value for money.
Stopped in for a bite while our ship was in port ... had a couple Wellington brews & split the chicken sandwich. Food & beverages were great & the service as well.
As if that wasn't enough, they had American football on the TV ... it was midday Friday & we were watching Tampa vs Baltimore on Thursday Night Football 😉
Loved the food. We were a group of seven and the food came out at the same time. Great waiting staff. Only four stars due to the mask wearing of the staff.
Great service - the wait staff was very attentive. There was a quiz on but they had another section of the resturant where we could sit where it was quieter. We got the steak. The steak was tasty (I like mine well done and my hubby likes his rare - they nailed both of them). The let down would be the mash as it had too much going on. Plain mash would've been a better option I believe.
Just been to a private function. Love the new layout. A big thank you to the bar staff, especially the young lady with pink colouring through her hair. Awesome night thank you
Very good food at reasonable price. Steak was very juicy and tender, perfectly medium rare. Lamb shank was very tender and also cooked well. However there were many flying insects buzzing around. Will be 5/5 if no insects.
The food was brought out to me super quick and it was de-licious, so good. Staff was nice and easy going too, great time all around.
Great Irish Pub in the heart of Wellington.
While we didn't have lunch, they have a great selection.
Service was very good.
Have daily specials, the day we went was 2 4 1cocktails, awesome!!
