Love this friendly local joint for a casual family meal or catch up with friends. I need to get those kumara fries in my belly next time, they looked amazing! The wee kids packs are a lifesaver! We'll be back for sure

Great food! Great taste! Great portions!
Makes sense that the prices are a bit higher than usual.
We ordered the Chicken Sandwich, Holy Cow Burger, Vege Burger and the Beer Battered Fish & Chips♥️
Switching my regular fries for kumara fries might be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Absolutely love the kumara fries! 😍
Good service and a cozy ambience!
Can't wait to head back!

As a newbie in Wellington I thought this place was great. Food was good and the staff super friendly and accommodating. Granted it was out of season and during the quite period but I think it will be just as good during the peak.

Great family restaurant. Had our Xmas Social here on Friday and we were all very happy. Our main waitress was very attentive and so were the others. It was a busy night with a couple of groups there. Our appetizers were great. Enjoyed the big fat chicken wings and calamari which tasted devine. For main I had the scotch fillet steak - medium and it was cooked perfectly. One thing I must mention is the delightful ginger beer that the barman conjured up on the spot. It was really nice and tasted like the real thing. So much a few others ordered one as well. Great community bar, will definately be back. Well done Gasworks!

Friends enjoy the steak night. Only $20 for a 300+ gms of scotch fillet. Awesome deal and what's more is the steak is cooked to perfection with your choice of red wine gravy, mushroom sauce or butter and garlic. Truely a delight. Sorry Portlander we are regulars too but Gasworks beats your steak.

My husband and I came here for a date night. The service was great. He had the steak and I had a burger that also had fried chicken on it. Everything was delicious! We'll be headed back for the Tuesday 2-4-1 special.

Went on a Tuesday night, they had 241 on mains, so me and my partner had a full rack of ribs each, came with fries and a very tasty side salad with corn chips. Ribs were AMAZING! so tasty and the meat just fell off the bone. Staff were also really nice and atmosphere was great. If I was in wellington again would definitely go, as it looks like they have specials most nights of the week! GREAT PLACE

Whilst the wait was a little long for food and slightly pricey, it was entirely worth it. I enjoyed my introduction to pork ribs and was left wanting more. Will be back!

Came in on a Tuesday evening for dinner with my family as we had heard it was 241. Have not been in Gasworks for awhile as we moved away so it is a bit far out for us normally! We had people to pick up from the airport to thought we would come in and make the most of your promotion. The food was lovely, I had steak and the kids shared ribs which is always exciting for them as it is a bit of a thrill when they come out on such a big plate and they get to eat with their hands!!

The staff were lovely and accommodating even though my kids can get a bit rowdy sometimes (sorry!). My only negative of the whole night was that you appeared to have some unfavourable customers who were yelling at your staff! I couldn't believe it, they were shouting at whom I presume is the manager about the 241 deal and then proceeded to shout at other staff. I just wanted to say, good on you for how you all dealt with them, they were very unkind to you and you were still pleasant to them, I would have told them to go away and eat elsewhere if they were not happy with the way the promotion is run! We took the opportunity to point their behaviour out to the kids so they never treat people like that in the future so it wasn't all a negative!

Please send my thanks to the chefs, the young brown chap and the pregnant lady (sorry! I don't have a better way to describe you!) for our lovely evening, and my apologies to you for the negative comments from your other customers! 

Thank you for a lovely evening, we will be making the trip back to Miramar more often to come dine with you!  

PS: PLEASE get apple crumble on your menu! That would have been the best thing to end the evening! Or Sticky Date Pudding! Yum!!

We came for breakfast today as we have many times in past and enjoyed ourselves (like we always do). We ordered eggs benedict and it was cooked well, bacon was nice and crispy and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Coffee was good and also nice and relaxing reading the paper. We arrived at 11:20am and were served by a lovely man. He provided really nice service. Looking forward to trying out the dinner menu sometime.

The Gas Works is one of those bars that could do really well in Miramar
I haven't been in there in over a year but we had some friends from out of town visiting over the weekend and when they lived in Wellington they used to love coming in for ribs
In all honesty i told them that the last time we were in the food and service was horrible and that maybe we should head to park kitchen but he was set on ribs
We came in on Friday and the place was busy i was dreading it I thought to myself here we go again
But hat off to your staff and your kitchen crew because that place has done a 360 the food was amazing the service was great the ribs were almost as good as the day you opened
We had a great night was told there was going to be a wait on food which was fine and it came out a little faster than we expected but it was great well cooked good flavours. My steak was a little tuff but well cooked the way I asked for it my wife's chicken salad was amazing just pumped full of flavour and has I said our friends had ribs and smashed them
The place could really do with a bit of TLC maybe just some paint or something some uniforms for your staff maybe so they look like a team
Was disappointed that Heineken wasn't on tap and that the bottles you had were warm because you were having chiller problems
All I can say is great job team we enjoyed it all so much we called in for brunch on the way to the airport on Sunday
Looking forward to our next visit

My dad was in town and, being a 'meat and 2 veg' sort of Whanganui man, I was at a bit of a loss as to where to take him for dinner. A friend recommended Gasworks as a pub with good food and beer, so I took a shot and drove out to Miramar. Totally worth it! They had a huge variety of beers for dad, and even offered a low alcohol cider (as I was driving). The food was great- dad had a the pulled pork burger which he loved, and I had the lamb burger which was juicy and a generous size. 
I only have 2 criticisms: the 'hand-cut chips' that came with the burgers seemed to be more of the frozen packet variety, but were still fine. Also, we were sat in the front of the bar on a high table and stools which was fine, but would have preferred a lower seat. Didn't even realise there were more tables out the back until I went to the bathroom.
Overall, a great place for a few drinks and a good meal with great service.

We pre-booked a table for 6 (5/9/15).
When we arrived we were shown to our table, and was brought some jugs of water and some glasses. We ordered our drinks, then our entree's and mains.
Our entrees came quite fast. Me and my husband ordered the classic calamari $12 to share, and it was delicious, I was expecting a bit more calamari but it was still good. We got around 8 small pieces.
Our mains took a while coming (or it felt like it) but a staff member did tell us 'don't worry guys, your meals are 2 mins away' they arrived soon after.
I ordered the fish of the day, which was snapper and it came with roast potatoes, caramelized red onion and black pudding with a hollandaise sauce. It was delicious. Well worth the $20. My hubby ordered the same. My son ordered Fush 'n' Chups, which was obviously fish with chips, and mushy peas. It looked yum too.
After dinner we ordered some desserts. It was 3 desserts for $15, so we thought we'd share seeing as there were 6 of us. I ordered a dessert which I cant remember the name of, (like a creme brullee) and omg we didn't notice that the desserts were 'Mini'. Our desserts were the smallest I have ever seen. My son ordered a chocolate fudge, I think it was, and it fitted in the palm of his hand. It was tiny. Hahaha Gave us a laugh I suppose!
The staff were very good and friendly, but we were some cutlery short which we had to ask for, by getting their attention, and they didn't come back and ask us if we were alright with our meals and if we wanted any more drinks. Which I quite like. There was quite a lot of kids in, even when it started getting late (towards 9.30) But I'm cool with kids.
Paying was nice and easy.
All in all, it was a good night. I like the atmosphere and the music style, which was a bit of rock, bit of grunge.
Good night, we may be back in the future.

More of a family restaurant than a bar the Gasworks is a good spot tucked away just inside Miramar hill. Quiet in the afternoons it has free wifi and plugs so you can have a coffee or beer and get some work done. 

Lots of different themes over the week and always something on. 

Highly recommend the pasta. It comes straight from Bongusto in Miramar, fresh, and is cooked to perfection by a chef who has some skills in the area of Fettuccine and other types.

Attentive, pleasant staff. Two kids and two adults $130.00 great value. Started with breads and dips - the dips were very nice as was the garlic - could have been more bread as we still had more dip left over.  Rib eye steak was cooked very well.  My Nachos were good - could have done with some avocado but good all the same (there were a few broken chips - but nothing to get upset about) Good looking menu (the desert menu could benefit from a redesign) Great looking place and as it was Eat all you can Ribs - it was Very Busy!!  I will definitely go again.

Highly recommend! Especially on the night that has all you can eat ribs! Delicious and the staff make it fun by not taking no for an answer and piling more and more onto your plate!! Other all you can eat places I have been to you have to wait ages between ribs but this place constantly has them coming. Other meals we had were also very nice and the staff really made it!

Great place, found the atmosphere and food amazing for a resonable price. You won't be disapointed on the quality and quantity for the price. I can't wait to dine here again as I believe they have a new menu now. Join their club. You get emails about promotions they have and some really good deals and night outs. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to attend any but the deals look great.

Liked the atmosphere. Decoration is nice, food was great (chicken hamburger) and good portion size. Service (except reception guy who made no efforts to welcome us but kept looking as if we were about to rob the place) was good and fast.

I have visited Gasworks 3 times, each time was on a Sunday for lunch. Service was good and the staff friendly. Food was good and their range on the lunch menu is ok. There is good sized tables for larger groups and families if needed.

Popped into the Gasworks for all you can eat ribs and fries last night. Was really impressed with the friendly quick service. The atomosphere was fantastic, it is quite rare to see a restaurant in the burbs full up on a Wednesday night.

For $20.00 you get all you can eat ribs and bottomless fries, the ribs were tasty and kept being delivered to the table at just the right time, fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the centre - perfect. Also had a pint of cider that came in a decent size glass that had been chilled - the perfect addition to the ribfest.

Will be going back for sure, and look forward to sampling the other dishes available, the menu looks great.

Was here a while ago, things have improved. Warmly welcomed on arrival, staff were great. Ordered their burger entry into Wellington On A Plate "Kentucky Derby". Heaps of off street parking including wheelchair friendly parks. Entry is wheelchair accessible, tables wheelchair accessible as are toilets. Highchairs and kids menu available for the kids. Beer, wine and cocktails available. Plenty of seating options indoors and outdoors note ashtrays on tables so people use outdoor tables.

A fantastic place to hang out and watch the rugby with friends. Menu is extensive yet not confusing. Do try the steak open sandwich and the palenta chips are also great. Good value for money with the portions on the generous side. Beer and wine list is very good with some craft beers you cannot find in the CBD. It's varied to sustain most wine and beer appreciaters. Staff are very friendly, helpful and excellent in service. Even with four demanding little children, I can include patient staff. Decor, ambience and music is modern-classic yet timeless. It is functional and doesn't distract.

The Gasworks has been a semi regular place for us to eat. We probably go at least 4 times a year for a meal. It’s had its ups and downs with its menus over the years. It’s always our kids favorite due to the desert the comes with the kids meals. Our recent visit was a quick lunch and it was great. Very tasty buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and a beer. Looking forward to trying out some other meals from this menu.

Down from Auckland for the weekend and looking for a relaxed place to grab a feed and a few drinks. Gasworks has exceeded all expectations. Went with the open steak sandwich with salad and couldn’t fault it one bit. Drinks were great also and reasonably priced. Great waiter service and friendly staff. Will be back again for sure 👌🏼

As a first timer in Wellington I felt very welcomed. The manager and waitress had good conversation and the service was great. Even on a cold wet day. Food was good, no Michelin stars but that's not why you go there. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely smiley staff greeted us as we arrived. Nice warm atmosphere and modern day core. Good coffee... Yummy food... We tried the cauliflower and coconut soup $12.. Eggs on toast $7 beef burger $20 and pulled pork hash $16... All meals were presented well and tasted great. Priced fairly. Nice place to eat.
