I only come here for one reason: the $12 steak at lunchtime. They are one of the rare places in Wellington that do a really good, juicy rare medium steak, cooked to perfection!
Our Local
Always have friendly staff on board and they always make you feel welcome
$12 Lunches during the week
We had the fish of the day and the pork belly tacos they were very nice
Also 2 4 1 meals on Monday we chose the Scotch Fillet and the Roast Chicken and Nachos
Breakfast is very nice as well
Nice comforting food and good service. We used the entertainment book discount and it was really worth it. Also drink were on special untill 7pm with a greta choice of beers.
Always come here to watch the rugby. Good to come early if youre after a table on those nights. Standard pub grub but at least the wait for food isnt immense
I like the Bristol for a very affordable jug of beer in the sun, sitting outside watching Cuba St. Their food specials are very reasonable priced, and the food is staple pub grub. The wine selection is good and the price range of wines is very reasonable. This place isn't fancy and that's what I like about it. I've been here tonnes and had many good times with my husband having a few drinks, and many random fun chats with complete strangers and staff alike. It's all good!
Popped in two weeks ago for a quick retreat when I was in town for work. Well situated along Cuba there and you can't expect Michelin food so I can say the bangers and mash was damn good. Actually for the cost of beverages you can never expect to go into the night cheaply in town but for less than ten dollars for a large jug of whatever I can happily say it was well worth ducking in for.
Came here for the 2 for 1 burger night on a Wednesday - highly recommend as it was quick and a great portion! I had the beef burger with avocado - was impressed with the amount of avocado given, however the beef patty did seem pretty cheapy/processed. Would go for chicken next time!
Friendly service and good food! If you go between 11am and 4pm the lunch specials are very reasonably priced and decent portions. Also a wide selection of tap beer! We will definitely be back!
It was a dreary, rainy day in Wellington, and my son and I thought it best to take shelter for a bit and try their $12.00 Express Lunch. We both had Aged Sirloin Steak (200 gms) topped with a dollop of garlic butter and served with fries and fresh green salad. It was prepared the way we wanted it -- medium rare, and it was just right -- caramelized on the outside, pink and juicy on the inside. All in all, it was a hearty, satisfying lunch that exceeded my expectations. The restaurant/pub was relatively quiet and about half-full, with a good ambiance. Staff were nice and quick to tidy up the tables as soon as their patrons left. I'd seriously consider going back.
I love their food. Service is fast. Food is the only thing that makes me go there. Staff not so friendly. Overall good. I would definitely recommend this place.
We were looking for steak (lunch) in the city, and chanced upon this upon others recommendations and it's the best decision ever. Main Meals were only $20 and had big portions. We ordered (Medium) 250g steak and it was perfect. Not necessary to add the $2 gravy as it was great enough without it anyway. The southern chicken was amazing as well! Great service and ambience was nice. 😊
Great place for a 21st. Function room worked well, and pool tables a big hit. Food was great, bar staff very friendly and professional, both before and during the function.
We were looking for a place for Sunday lunch and came across Hotel Bristol. We ordered the steak, calamari and halloumi fries. The meals were tasty and reasonable prices. The cocktails on tap were surprisingly good as well.
Thank you again for you and your team for all of your work and efforts yesterday as all went very well and I think that everyone had a great time and enjoyed their meals, and the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere made it fun. Once we got there everything was arranged quickly and efficiently and they all enjoyed themselves.
Your organisation in arranging this was much appreciated.
Nice beer selection, friendly staff, prices were okay. They got some arcade machines, billard and darts for ~2$ each. An outside balcony for smokers. An atmosphere worthy of a bar.
Staff were awesome and very welcoming from when I first arrived. Squid was great and cooked well. This definitely showed the skill of the chef in the kitchen. Definitely will be returning at some point
A grand old pub, great service. Had couple of drinks and a few games of pool. Pool tables a bit worn and stained, tables needed a wipe but overall spacious and nice open bright feel.
Beautiful pub with a good selection of beer and wine. Some specific NZ branded beer as well. I liked the ambience, the staff were very friendly and greeted with a smile. I will definitely recommend this place.
Gorgeous wait staff as well ;)
The portion of snack is perfect for a person as well.
Went here for brunch and the food was really good, set in a beautiful old building with a brilliant atmosphere. Staff were wonderful and very accommodating. Through no fault of theirs, the goody app wasn’t working but they still honoured our discount so big thumbs up to the team and I will be back in the future.
This is a pop institution in Wellington. But it was my first visit in this sports bar.
Had a meal special , hotdog and it was really good.
Otherwise a traditional pub sports bar with a great variety of on tap beers and more bottled. The menu offers good food.
