Don’t even bother going here if you’re a walk-in unless you want to be treated like a second class citizen. We went there at 4pm on a Friday afternoon and, despite the top floor being almost deserted when we arrived, it was difficult finding anywhere to sit as literally of all the empty tables were reserved. We sat at one that was reserved from 6pm onwards as we didn’t intend to stay past 5.30. Shortly before 5pm, however, we were unceremoniously booted off our table because the other party had arrived early, and apparently took precedence even though their booking was more than one hour away. We were left with nowhere to sit (or even stand) as by now the bar was crammed. So we left.When raising my concerns in an email to the Churchhill, they offered me a voucher and accused me of lying in the same breath – bizarrely claiming that we hadn’t been booted off until 5.48pm (by which point I was on a train after having briefly taken refuge in a different bar and purchased groceries).When I responded asserting that their claim was wrong, they simply didn’t reply. Radio silence. Which is the equivalent of ‘eff off and go away”.There is something seriously contemptuous about their customer service ethic. There are plenty of welcoming bars in Wellington and they are not one of them.
Best place in the city to grab a drink! Three levels to choose from to suit your mood. Great staff and some decent brews on tap. Love the wine list, cocktails are awesome and the small plates menu. Definitely recommend!
Located on Lambton Quay close to my work I have been here twice now, and want to go again! First time I had a few sides – the garlic bread and fries with gravy. It was amazing if you like that sort of thing. Next visit I had the soup (even though it was a hot day I couldn’t help myself). Comes with some butter and ciabatta, and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend. The restaurant on level 1 is great. You can even go and sit outside in the sun on the balcony if you wish. Great atmosphere, lovely staff. Will be back!!!
I absolutely love this place. Just the atmosphere and environment is somewhere you want to be at. Food was fantastic and at a very good price. I will be back!
