Hotel Bristol
(New Zealand, Pub Food)
If you’re already a regular you’ll know why the Bristol is the sort of place that has the right feel. The food is great but the prices aren’t. Instead of cramming into some boring Courtenay Place cocktail cupboard head on in to the Bristol and have a damn good time in a damn good bar in a damn good part of town.

San Francisco Bath House
(Pub Food)
The San Francisco Bath House is Wellington’s premiere live music venue. Historically the Bath House has had a reputation for being a rock venue; this has now changed and in recent years it has become more of an all round music venue. While it’s undeniably the music that’s at the heart of the San Francisco Bath House, the drinks and service certainly aren’t to be over looked.
