An icon on Wellington’s waterfront, St John’s Bar & Eatery is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. If their beanbags don’t tempt you over during the summer months, their exquisite cocktail and food menu might just do the trick.
Mere metres away from Te Papa and within (almost) diving distance of the ocean, St John’s occupies a prominent place in Wellington’s dining scene. Housed in a beautiful art deco building, they have transformed this historical spot into an open, airy and relaxed eatery that is both classy and unpretentious at the same time. Come summer, their lawn is buzzing with sun worshippers lounging on beanbags, drawing people from all around the waterfront; the good vibes are infectious!
The menu hones in on all our favourite comforting flavours whilst giving them a contemporary overhaul. Pork belly is served alongside grilled bok choy and soft potatoes whilst ora king salmon is complemented by a coriander jam or enjoy a variety of flavours with their small plates.
And like every modern gastropub, they ace burgers. From succulent beef patties to pesto chicken and crumbed mushroom, these guys pack in the flavour with fresh ingredients and sublime sauces. Finally, for summer by the sip, you couldn’t do better than a Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita, Kiwi Mojito or Chocolate Orange Martini. All you need now is a beanbag…
