Reviews of Poquito Bar Wellington

E.

Highly recommend. Friendly and cozy. Great coffee.

J. W.

If you’re looking for an intimate venue for a gathering of your pals, here’s your pick! Booking the venue with Barnaby was super easy and low stress. Skyler and the team were welcoming, attentive, and pitched the service just right. Delicious in-house catering from Judi and great drinks on offer. And a great space - lovely light at both ends of the venue, and a solid sound system for our playlist of choice. All of which really helped make the event special. Thanks again guys. I’ll be back soon!

P. O.

Cozy, stylish and convenient. The friendly Poquito team looked after us with unobtrusive professional service. They were very knowledgeable about cocktails, sharing their experience and asking about our own preferences then suggesting something new that really hit the spot. Recommended.

M. o. t. F.

Great whiskey tasting experience! Incredible service. The style of service has changed, definitely for the better. Would recommend a whiskey flight. Haven't tried their food or other drinks though. And we couldn't stay too long due to a private event later at that location.

M. P.

My new go to in town. Food simple good and well presented. The whiskey range..... Extensive - for such a small place almost incredible.

P. S.

Nice breakfast/lunch choices, the baked egg with chorizo was awesome, same for the grilled halloumi. Go sit in the back near the stage/window, such a lovely warm vibe created by the wallpaper, admire the bar wall. Big choice of Whiskey and Bourbons, I counted 97 different ones including some nice Japanese whiskeys. If you like Gin try the Monkey47. Also interesting original cocktails

R. B.

Was looking for a filling, yummy, relatively healthy, reasonably priced, vegan breakfast. This gorgeous little cafe, with incredibly kind staff, were willing to accommodate me. Avo and toast with tomato, lemon, balsamic vinegar and the INCREDIBLY GOOD house-made hummus. My soy latte was large and delicious. Highly recommend this cafe.

C. M.

Stopped in for a round of cocktails late at night. Amazing service! Hand made cocktails for all of us and some great entertainment watching them being created. Definitely worth it if cocktails are your thing!

G. W.

Amazing spot, great service and incredible for a party ! Highly recommend, Barnaby is great !

M. S.

Loved it. Staff went out of his way to seat us, great cocktails , nice ambiance , very happy with this place.

C. M.

Huge selection of whisk(e)y. Fun and funky environment with live music on a Thursday! Knowledgeable and fun staff. And then Alex and Lexi just had to take it up another level 🤣

P. H.

When you have just done the red eye from Perth to Auckland then to Wellington and they offer wine with your breakfast [it was after 10] this it the place. The friendliest of staff. Fabulous food and yes, nice local beer and wine. Thank you team Poquito Cafe. See you next visit. Paul

D. W.

Amazing coffee and the service is 2nd to none! A really cool vibe too. Will definitely be back!

Q. G.

Only go here if you like sprits as they have a massive selection. Only serve two beers. Can't comment on food.

B. G.

Awesome vibes. Best cocktails and super knowledgeable with whiskey. This place is perfect to go to before hitting Courtney Place, or if you want to just chill out with vibing music.

L. B.

Cool little nook with a staggering selection of spirits and the know-how to fashion them into any conceivable cocktail.

G. N.

Alex and the team look after us so well. I love coming in and trying the new SMWS whiskies they have available. The cocktails are also outstanding, some of the infusions they are playing with are really amazing. I can't recommend them enough

H. S. G.

Awesome bar staff 👌 with great whisky knowledge

K. H.

It's a small, comfortable, quiet space that feels really welcoming. It's a good spot to visit week day or weekend (though it does randomly get over busy on weekends sometimes). With my social anxiety this space didn't cause any issues for me. The hosts are really welcoming, and they will give you space if you want it. The bar tender was great at mixing drinks, and make me both artisanal mocktails and cocktails. LGBT+ friendly and both bathrooms are gender neutral.

J. C.

Great cocktails and friendly, helpful staff

L. J.

Lovely little cozy place. Makes an excellent coffee and they have a phenomenal range of spirits. The staff there were spectacular as well. This is a perfect place for a chat and a drink. Low key but good music and a great vibe across the board. Its one of those special places that transitions seemlessly from a coffee shop vibe to a night time drinks with friends spot. Will absolutely be returning.

W. F. G.

The ladies were very nice and lovely. Decent hibiscus tea

h. n.

They serve all the classic cocktails and a whole menu of specialties. The staff were amazing and super helpful when needed. I especially loved the mood lighting the place has not harsh on the eyes at all and it creates a very relaxing atmosphere. Bonus was the cocktails aren't overpriced and tasted delicious.

D. R.

Friendly service, wide range of drink options, busy , Lively atmosphere, and great place to hangout.

M. T.

Great, cozy place with marvellous music, tapas, delicious coffee and really friendly service (owners I think). We'd come back every day if we lived here :) apparently at night it turns into whisky bar! (Unfortunately it's only 1pm now...)

F. N. L. N.

Nice lighting and mood. They had some smooth rnb/rap playing among other genres. Its a small place. You definitely cannot dance in there. Came in for a hot chocolate instead of alcoholic beverages and they provided service the moment we walked through the door. They kept our water topped up and their service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend this place if you just want grab a drink and have a chill and short conversation (or a long one if the mood makes you want to stay).

L. M.

Loved this place. I sat there thinking about another pour amongst the avo and feta Smash and grilled haloumi and there he was at the ready and really knowledgable about the wine, the region and his knowledge of other hospitaliers in Wellington. If you are wanting to go with the flow with a cafe/bar who also goes with the flow I definitely recommend Poquito. Looking forward to trying #poquito #negroni #wellington later this evening. Thanks Alex.

A. C.

Always welcoming and a feeling of being the mist special customer of the day. Best coffee in this part of town. Great after work calming atmosphere for a glass or shared bottle of wine and same welcome. Just in love with this place!

J. S.

Somehow manages to be ultra cool and super friendly at the same time. Great drinks, great vibes.

D. C.

Best cocktail bar in Wellington. Great service and super friendly bar manager. They provided appetizers only but the chorizo and feta quesadilla was superb! The cocktails are delicious! Highly recommended!

C. J.

Nice cafe, quite small and limited seating. A bit dark too but the staff are fantastic. I ordered the Salman with cream cheese and capers which was small for the price but was tasty otherwise.

R. H.

Love the atmosphere, food and service in this place. Had avocado and feta smash for breakfast. Excellent Food.

D. C.

A little known but very cool spot with some awesome drinks and staff. Especially great during the afternoon and early evening!

E. C.

Have always had a fantastic experience here. A warm, welcoming, yet clean and professional environment, you will find some of the most skilled and charming bartenders in the city in this compact but fabulously decorated gem. For your evening indulgeances, I recommend ordering away from the cocktail menu, letting the tender surprise you. It will never be the same twice, but will always be equally delicious. A favorite among the city's hospitality community, this bar/cafe will always serve you well throughout a night of joyful indulgeance, fun with friends, a journey to meet new people, or discover new treats to be remembered for a long time.

D.

Such fancy drinks. Ate my soul shack there. Yummy yummy. Let the staff pick your drinks, this is a true cocktail bar

E. T.

Great selection of drinks, cute décor, and great bar snacks! Really good service even when it's super busy. Highly recommended for small groups looking for a relaxed but fun vibe.

M. D.

Friendly staff and great vibe, cosy seating arrangements but that’s also what helps make this place work. Fantastic selection of whisky and intimate live original music sessions. Certainly worth a visit

J.

Friendly staff. Nice small feeds and good drinks. Perfect little narrow Wellington bar

E. O. (.

Staff very friendly, great range of drinks. They even got a warm water right on spot when I asked for it ( I was about to sing later on). Definitely a stop by central welington. In the heart of Courtney place but still I'm the peaceful part of it.

B. E.

Great coffee & service. I came here quite a lot when I worked in Allen street, to grab coffee or sit down for a meeting. They also have an extensive whisky/whiskey selection. I've never tried their food but it looks tasty & fresh.

C. N.

Had a good night and service was great.

T.

Loved this place while visiting from the US. Expert cocktail making in an authentic space with lovely staff. A very cool hideaway.

C. S.

Fabous. Great place to start the Courtney Place evening. They even made special berry daiquiri for us

P. H.

Little slice of cool, fantastic staff, and good food too 😀

K. P.

Very friendly staff and they recommend a drink to satisfy your tastebuds and they can do mocktails even if you're not drinking!!!

R. B.

Cute and intimate little cocktail bar with amazing staff and incredible drinks.

K. K.

A great formula for after work drinks: simple, limited and tasty menu, varied selection of drinks. Poquito does this so well; a really friendly place to relax with friends.

G. P.

Great little bar to have spontaneous snacks and drinks. It also has a small whisky tasting club that is well run and offers some unique single malts

E. S.

Great food and friendly service, but space for seating needs to be optimised. Saw several couples leave as they didn't want to sit at a rickety table by the open door.

D. N.

Nice Atmosphere, Great Cheese platter, Large High End Spirits Selection along with Good Beers and Wines!

G. M.

It has atmosphere and is small, intimate and friendly. Unfortunately on my last visit they had run out of olives, a main tapas item.

M. H.

Nice wee spot for pre-dinner cocktails and catchup. Talented mixologists and flavoursome drinks

J. D.

The team at Poquito are awesome! Super friendly service, delicious food, and great coffee. My favourite cafe in Wellington!

My favourite bar in Wellington, and the world, for good drinks is Poquito. Bryan, from Leeds, is a friendly chap who is a natural bartender. He has an instinct for flavour which has never failed to impress me with its acuity. I reckon four people with totally different tastes could all ask for a drink based on their preference and be equally pleased.

L.

Absolutley brilliant.

(Translated) Order flat white. The clerk is very friendly. The music was comfortable and very cozy. There was Wi-Fi, too. (Original) フラットホワイトを注文。店員さんはとてもフレンドリー。音楽も心地よくてすごく居心地の良い店内でした。Wi-Fiもありました。

B.

(Translated) There are very few cafes that serve good hot chocolate. This is one of them. Not lukewarm water, as in some places 😁. Poquito Café is small, but very cozy. Good music and moderate volume, which allows conversation. The service is very good and it is very well located. (Original) Hay muy pocos cafés que sirven buen chocolate caliente. Éste es uno de ellos. No agua tibia, como en algunas lugares 😁. Poquito Café es pequeño, pero muy acogedor. Buena música y en volumen moderado, lo cual permite conversar. La atención es muy buena y está muy bien ubicado.
