Dirty Little Secret
Complete with near panoramic views over Wellington, this popular industrial-chic Rooftop is the perfect spot for a quality sip. Soak up the city views with their famous chocolate-covered espresso martini. If you’re after something fresh, you can’t go past the ‘Pimm & Proper’ – with Pimms, elderflower liqueur, lemon, cucumber & bubbles for those summer rooftop vibes.

St Johns Bar & Eatery
If quality cocktails with waterfront views sounds like your kind of thing, then St Johns Bar & Eatery is your go-to spot. Grab a bean bag and relax on the lawn with their Blood Orange Spritz – featuring Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin, Passionfruit Syrup, Lime Juice, Orange Slices, Mint Leaves & Soda. This creative cocktail list wouldn’t be complete without their Bottle Aged Negroni (2018 Vintage) with 20 Beefeater gin, Campari & Antica Formula… Negroni lovers, it won’t disappoint.

Concrete Bar
Tucked away on Cable Car Lane, Wellington’s favourite hidden gem is the perfect spot for a uniquely delicious sip. One of our top picks is the ‘Rum Row’, with Havana Especial Rum, Blackcurrant Liqueur, House-made cinnamon syrup & Lemon Juice. On a budget? Sip on the silky smooth ‘Jamie Loves Ginger’ with Jameson, house made gingerbread syrup & apple juice – and did we mention it’s just $10?
