Very good place, liked the drinks and food. It is also cheap. Ordered a burger, it was massive and came with fries. Excellent!! Would recommend people to try, totally worth it.
I love the Establishment! This place has a great after work drinks vibe, it's a great place to watch the rugby with friends and when the music gets started they play a lot of anthem music that everyone can sing and dance along too. The clientele are more reserved and older earlier in the night and becomes a young person's bar later on its a great mix with a great atmosphere with great happy hour prices and good selection of craft beer. 5/5
Visitors to Wellington. Went to the Establishment on Saturday night and after looking at the menu we were pleasantly surprised how cheap the meals were ... $10 burger meal with fries?? Unheard of in Auckland! Unfortunately our meals too almost an hour to arrive ... We had already finished our drinks and started asking the waiters how long our meals would be as we had somewhere to be later that night!
Service - slow - 1 hour+ to be served is a bit excessive
Food - good ... Very pleased with our meals for the price!
Drinks - expensive ... A bit guttered to learn our drinks weren't covered by happy hour ... The signage should be more clear which drinks are covered?? I loved my Pilsner beer though despite the $8.50 price tag for a smallish glass ...
I'd go back for the food definitely but might skip on the drinks because I'm a Scrooge :)
There is not much to say about this bar other than the fact that you get to enjoy the sun and traffic movement while seated outside enjoying your chilled beer .The staff is very polite and friendly. I didn't have any food from here . But will definitely come back again.
We visited The Establishment on a Saturday about 8 and used a deal voucher for a meal. We have been in the past and had mixed impressions but the voucher was a good deal. We had the option of a main an extra side and a drink for the both of us. We talked a lot with the service staff (there were 2 for the upstairs area) to make sure we were within what our voucher will allow. We ordered two steaks, one sirloin, one rib eye with bacon - both came with sides so we didn't order the extra sides. The steaks were delicious as were the accompaniments of mash and salad. We ended up ordering a few extra drinks, and they offered us a desert to share because we didn't use our sides - that was fantastic.
The two service guys we had were fantastic - overall I rate the whole experience very well - just as any dining experience should be.
One extra point - we have been in the past and they used to have a poncy menu .. out of the league of what they are (a good pub grub specialist) ... the current menu is varied, and priced very well for the audience. I would happily go back again, and even in groups of 5-10 it would be good.
No hesitation about a 4 start mark .. and considered 5!
The company I work for had a function at the establishment last Wednesday. Wow I couldn't believe the friendly service and great platters that they served us and well priced too! I look forward to booking my next function with you guys.
This is an absolutely fabulous restaurant/bar!!! i have been here three times and have loved it!!! The desserts are fab i especially love the licorice panacota and Moro Bar cheesecake!! The platters are yummy too =) Keep up the good work
Most of the times I have been to Establishment was for a few drinks, but the one time we did order food I was pleasantly surprised. We chose a pizza and a platter, and both came out reasonably fast and looking fresh. The pizza had lots of toppings, and was super cheesy and melty (Not really a word - but you get the idea) and everything on the platter was really tasty too. It's always busy late at night, mostly with a younger crowd - so if that's not your thing, then check it out earlier in the day.
Great environment. I had a fantastic time with my friends and met many new people. The queues were always long and I couldn't get a cashout in the establishment so when I had to get cashout to go upstairs(which required a payment due to an ongoing private event) I had to go to the closest ATM and queue up again... Which was not the worst but still a long wait.
Such a lovely staff!!!. The new menu Is really good. Good food and good presentation. Lot of beers on tab and Guinness is cheap! $5selected drinks every day! Live music, bingo, quiz night, karaoke!!!..something new every day!
This place is awesome for if you are looking for the best value meal in town. Don't expect fancy food but good food at a good price. It's well located if you need a meal before a night out or just a beer with friends.
Life is pretty good with a $9.00 jug of beer and a sunny balcony seat overlooking Courtenay Place
Nice open bar with plenty of seating and big dance floor. Music level was perfect - loud enough to talk to your table comfortably but also get up and dance. Played all the classic hits which made for a fun night of dancing/singing along and also chatting/chilling.
One of the best places in Wellington to dance, but you need to be careful with the bottles in the floor. The music is usually good and is very friendly. The drinks aren't so expensive. It's a great place for ending your night with your friends.
Came for the quiz night there was a group of us we had a great time, brilliant atmosphere and good selection of beers. Will definitely be back to do it all again 👍
Would recommend this Club. Other clubs staff could learn heaps from your bar staff well run, hard working, delightful service just an excellent pleasure to drink and party there. Cheers from the Timaru Lads, Eric, Buster, Shaun, Braden and Gorden
Lovely service, I had no way of getting home as my phone died.. Chole was a life saver so bright and happy aswell. She took my phone and charged it for me when the other guy said no... bless your soul chole! Look forwarder to seeing you again soon, and thank you !!♡
Great bar. Went there at peak hours. Floors weren't very tidy but it was a banging atmosphere. Bartender was friendly and super efficient. Will go back for sure.
Best bar restaurant in New Zealand capital city of Wellington! $15 dinners like pork chop salad and chips. Cocktails start from $10. My go to from now on every night!
Fantastic everything. Definitely a high class establishment. But .... if you want quality sometimes you've got to pay a little more.... highly recommended service . Food . And Ohhhh the cocktails....
