Bar

 

Dockside offers the choice of two bar areas, our waterside deck and inside bar.

Whilst utilised for lunch daily the deck becomes predominantly bar focused during the afternoon and weekend evenings with dining in our first floor restaurant to enjoy elevated views of the harbour.

During the summer months our roof canopy is often removed to make the most of the Wellington sunshine, providing an al fresco bar environment. When a northerly wind blows and the sun is not shining, this area is easily covered and fully heated.
 
Enjoy an afternoon drink in the sun with stunning views over the beautiful Wellington waterfront.

An extensive bar snack menu is offered from 3pm till late.

The indoor bar offers a cosy alternative and provides large screen TV coverage for all major sporting events.

Dockside is a popular late night social spot on weekend evenings, with music till the early hours and an atmosphere that is hard to beat.

Starting with an after work drink, the deck is soon alive with people enjoying our late night entertainment.
 
Full table service is provided during bar hours, so pop in and relax, let us take care of you, and enjoy the dynamic atmosphere this bar provides.
