Reviews
"Iconic bar. We arrived after the kitchen had closed so ordered a LOT of bar snacks for a group of 15+ people and were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and looked after us."
"Probably at the higher price end compared to the rest of the coffee shop we have checked out but definitely a good spot to sit and relax after exploring the seat of New Zealand power. You may see one or two guys you’ve seen on the telly if you stay long enough."
"Palmer cooler was 95% wine with a strawbery fragrance ... okay but could've been a bit sweeter. Scotch fillet was nice and I normally like pate, but this dish doesn't need it. I doggy bagged my loaded fries entree because they came at the same time as the main... I prioritized the main and took the fries home to reheat later. Staff were very accommodating."
"Directly opposite Parliament, funny caricature statues, yummy food and nice staff."
