Came here on my wedding anniversary. Staff were super friendly and the burgers were absolutely delicious. They were under the pump due to a Grab One promo but given they only had 2 staff on the service was still excellent with a smile, food was prompt given their busyness and the quality was excellent. Highly recommend will return and pay full price, and we tipped to show our gratitude. Nice work!
Amazing service the waiters always seem to remember you, awesome selection of craft beers from all over NZ. Food is as expected from a bar, but it’s filling!
Very busy at this place and the staff are friendly.
It was difficult to get a table, it took a while but we managed to get one.
The Seafood Chowder was nice also the Beef and Chicken salad, Pizza.
Service was ok
We will definitely go back
Fantastic atmosphere. Good service. Amazingly tasty food. And anyone that stocks Man O War gets a huge tick from me! I ordered the vege dish ASB didn’t regret it. Beautiful dish filled with generous pieces of haloumi. Just devine. Will definitely recommend this place and come back for this meal.
Really nice atmosphere, with friendly staff. Our dinner meals came out in record time, and were fresh and tasted great. We ordered the Fried Calamari which I would recommend, Margherita Pizza and Tagliatelle Pasta. The meals were good value for money, nicely made and tasted great.
Good service, steak was nicely cooked. Massive drinks list (9 pages lol). My reason for the lower rating is that I didn't understand why I was charged extra for GF steak, when GF side was removed!
Plus it was stated on the menu as GF, but clearly wasn't with beer based sauce through the sides. It was good the staff knew that and seemed happy to make an actual GF version...but didn't mention they would charge me extra for it.
The only thing I am disappointed about was there is no cheesecake on the menu. But thats probably a good thing! Their steak meal is to die for! Well seasoned angus steak with a smooth beetroot puree, delicious chunky chips and a side coleslaw.
Pleasant patio bar scene and helpful, polite workers make this place immensely enjoyable.
The food was delicious and came out in timely manner! Went there for the four course degustation meal and it was terrific I have never heard of Bin44 before, and with set menus from previous experience never quite had an enjoyable experience! But it was great exceeded my expectations. Food cooked perfectly beer matched well, great environment nice and chilled would Defos recommend to all. The only thing I must say is when the special carers for the restaurant staff and pushing past customer to deliver a coffee doesn't look very good and especially if they don't personally know how to say excuse me they just make their annoying pushy presence know.
Wow so yum! I bought the grab one voucher for four people which included one pizza or burger pp and a glass of either the house wine or craft beer pp. My partner and I shared the beef burger and salami/bacon pizza. It smelt so good I was so excited we dug in to it too quickly to photograph. Haha so yum and will deffinatly be back next time I'm in Wellington for some tasty cocktails and meals
Service was unpretentious and to the highest standard I have seen in Wellington. Needed a cheese swap out....no problem you can havd grilled chicken in the salad instead.....it was not any trouble to give us a dessert off the dinner menu either....The food was high quality fresh and full of flavour. I highly recommend this as a good place to have a meal.
Got in just in before the lunch time rush which meant we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I liked that they had a kids menu and I was happy the chicken n chips wasnt deep fried chicken but some lovely breaded breast. My soup hit the spot and the bread was lovely and garlicky. Overall good lunch spot, but downer was it was a tad pricey for what it was.
Love this place!One of my favourite places on the waterfront!Such a great range of beer, there's always something new to try! The staff are always super friendly and always ready to show off the new range.
And don't forget the great coffee for first thing in the morning!
Fantastic craft beer selection. Food is nice but a bit overpriced, and the wait staff can be a bit stand-offish. It's really all about the beer

Came for after-work drinks with a colleague. The restaurant is spacious, especially when all the doors open up to link the inside and outside spaces. Natural light comes through the entire place, and coupled with an awesome view of the waterfront, make this a prime spot for people wanting some sun and drinks.
We ordered a beer and a mojito, together with Cajun fries that came with chipotle mayo and ketchup. They didn't have the beer we wanted, so we opted for the Steinlager Light instead. The drinks came quickly, although I thought the mojito wasn't strong enough. It was pricey too.
Our chips took forever, and so we asked the waitress about our order. It turned out that it was never put through, which was slightly disappointing, especially since the place was mostly bare and not busy at all.
When they arrived, the fries were thick cut and sprinkled with Cajun spice. They were piping hot which was nice, but nothing special otherwise.
Showstopper: Great location for the summer.
Overall grade: B-. Would have been higher had they not dropped the ball on our order.
Located just slightly across from the TSB Bank Arena at Wellington Queens Wharf, Binn44 is a great spot to pop into for a meal or just a drink. We were there for just a quick drink and snack and found the craft beer selection to be quite good and the side fries very tasty!
I've been coming to this bar ever since I moved to Wellington last year. I love this place!
Great coffee, awesome beers, and always really cool people with whom to chat. Staff and customers all always super friendly.
Best place to sit and catch some sun in central Wellington. Grab a coffee and one of their awesome pizzas!
Have never had a bad experience

We went here with no booking at 7:30 on a Friday night and it was totally packed. Luckily enough the friendly front of house dude managed to find us a table! We've been here before and it was brilliant last time and we had the same experience this time. The waitress was very friendly and attentive and made great recommendations for wine to match with food. I had the surf and turf, and my girlfriend had the Hereford steak, both of which were fantastic - The only downside would be the vegetables were a little average. Her steak came out medium rare when she asked for it medium well/destroyed. (I know, it's one of the constant struggles in our relationship) - Anyway, accidents happen so in my opinion it's all about how it's dealt with. I sent it back and they were very apologetic about it. They brought her out a whole new meal pretty quickly perfectly ruined, just how she likes it. They then gave us both a glass of wine on the house. I can't recommend this place highly enough, one of the best places in Wellington.
I have always wanted to go to Bin44 but just never had until today I was amazed how awesome this place was. My girlfriend and I sat in the restaurant and ordered off their fantastically priced menu. The food came out fast and after we both had finished we agreed that it was one of the best lunches we have had in Wellington. Defiantly check this place out, it was above and beyond our expectations!
Nice work Bin44
After having a relatively poor experience in Bin 44 myself and my friends decided to head back and give it another go. The service was great, the meals came out promptly and were beautifully cooked. I had the scallops and bacon dish which I recommend highly. My friends enjoyed the experience and it was great to find out that our experience was a one off. Bin 44 was busy and we still got excellent service.

I don't think any review I could craft would do justice to just how highly I rate this place. I was tasked with organising a client function for 12-13 people : drinks after work on the Thursday before Christmas. No pressure. *cringe* Of course, being *that* time of year, I was flat out and stressed and, being relatively new to Wellington, don't have an intimate knowledge of every single bar in the central City. I tried a few other places suggested by my work colleagues, and was disappointed with what seemed to be a prevailing cavalier attitude and lack of helpfulness (yes, I KNOW it's just before Christmas; and I KNOW you're busy and way too fabulous to even take phone call enquiries, but I thought I was the customer?). And then I dialled Bin44's number and the wonderful Roisin came into my life! Right from the very start, Roisin and the team at Bin44 just knocked it OUT of the park - nothing was too much trouble, everything was organised for me, a table was reserved, food platters were pre-ordered and the stress just disappeared. When I arrived early on the evening of the function, everything was in place just as Roisin had promised, and we were given the benefit of table service (on which, I'm reliably informed, is one of the busiest nights of the year), so that our clients didn't have to queue at the bar. Without exception, every single staff member at Bin44 we encountered was smiling, relaxed, helpful and just LOVELY to deal with. And I haven't even started on the beer selection, the food and the wine list?! The whole evening was a HUGE success; what was supposed to be an hour or two's formality after work somehow ended up being five hours of great food, fabulous beer and wine, lots of laughter and VERY happy clients (everyone seemed to be having too much fun!). Thank you so much to Roisin and her team - I'll definitely be back!
Me and the boys came in for just a couple of beers on a Friday night, was awesome to see a good range of beers on tap, and in the fridges. The reason for only 4 stars is because we did not try any of the food, but will most def be back to give it a go as the steaks look pretty good. BOOM!!! best craft beers on the Waterfront by far.
I don't usually eat anywhere near Queens Wharf because the prices scare me off, but I came here for a friends birthday last week and was pleasantly surprised by Bin44.
Our group had a great long leaner table, which I love, and and when I saw a Raspberry Mojito on the menu I couldn't resist. It was delicious, although the raspberry pits threw me off a little, but I guess that's what it is when you get fresh berries in a drink. We had some starters which were great for sharing and delicious.For mains I had the Scallops and Bacon which I haven't seen cooked like this, the sauce was sooo delicious! Yum! The evening was really nice and fun, the atmosphere was great and super friendly and attentive staff!
I came across Bin44 in my search for a nice place to eat for our wedding anniversary. The total experience was perfect. Friendly, open greeting, beautiful food (it really was) and a great selection of wines and beer! Best of all l think is that we are supporting a young business, with motivated, and courageous owners in this testing market. We will definitely be back and spread the word as far and wide for these guys.... Well done!!!!
Excellent experience!
Warm and cosy ambience, super nice staff, tasty food, and very good drinks.
I really enjoyed my time here; their heated open space with sea view was super pleasant. We tried Angus plater, which was tasty and delicious. Absolutely recommended! 👍🏼
Couldn't fault this, had an excellent deal through Grab one and had a delicious meal and superfast , awesome service.
Great food and friendly staff however they do seem to work on glide time so not good if you're in a hurry. Decent selection of craft beers as well as top shelf. Has a great snack menu aswell. I enjoyed the platter however it would have been better if the meats were warm.
Great location for a summer evening meal. Awesome food and great staff.
We had a Christmas dinner for 14 people. The team were excellent, attentive, friendly and knowleageable. The location was good. We ended up putting together 2 large tables -which worked perfectly.
Went for a father daughter date...loved their half n half pizza. Since neither of us could manage a whole pizza by ourselves we got this half topped Azuro and half with Carne. It didn't disappoint nor was it amazing..She also got a Virgin Mango Sangria and we finished with a Vegan boysenberry and chocolate mousse cake which she was more than happy to eat by herself 😄
My nephew had his 21st here. I had a steak which i felt was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. Due to diet restrictions they were able to make some simple changes for me.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
We had a reasonably large group and took up a lot of space, but the staff made sure we had enough space to move around the tables.
Had a great time and even did a round of tequila shots at the bar with the birthday boy and some others. Nice :)
The atmosphere was amazing. The staff were extremely garrulous. The grills so yummy. I definitely recommend it
Really lovely location and nice interior. The food came out super quick and I'd totally recommend the Angus burger.
It was our first time to visit Bin 44. We were greeted by welcoming FOH and assisted to our table. The food was great. I think the chargrilled angus sirloin steak was one of the best steak I had and was cooked to perfection. It was still tender and juicy despite being a medium-well. The ratatouille on the side and basil pesto complemented the dish well. The other food we've ordered was the double cooked pork belly. It was tender, juicy and goes well with the salad and sauce. The staff made us feel welcome and enjoyed our dining experience. Oh, don't forget the fries, it was crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Great location
Good service.
Food quality is above average. The Angus steak my wife ordered was amazing. But the market fish I ordered was just average. May be I should try different dishes again next time
What a lovely place to relax on a summer’s evening. A perfectly relaxing location to sip on an cold beverage and nibble on chips.
It had been a long hot day but staff were still attentive and chatty.
All I did here was drink whiskey. Maybe that explains the 5 stars! But the staff was knowledgeable and I got to try my first New Zealand whisky and the day was cold with winds over 70 mph so I really enjoyed my time here.
The meat boards are great for a group of people. Lots of craft beer on tap too
