S. S. L.

Sunday dinner. Par rating. Food was standard. Environment has Definitely changed over the years. Could do with a face-lift. Reasonable prices food just scratched the pass mark.

H. S.

The Realm is easily one of the better affordable restaurants in Wellington. I tried something new from The Realm in which I have never seen anywhere else. An extraordinary meal from a unexpected source. To say that this meal challenged my preconceptions about the concept of fine cooking is a gross understatement. They really nailed this Tomato Ellàmoùsch. I will definitely return for more Tomato Ellàmoùsch in the near future and highly recommend trying it if you haven’t.

M. C.

We got ubereats from this place. The food was amazing. Pizza was tasty and not soggy. Wings cooked perfect and fries seasoned great. Priced reasonable as well.

C. M.

Great jazz evening, excellent service from Rosie, food OK, could be less pubish and more fresh.

E. W.

I just firstly Wana take my hat off to the awesome wait staff ND kitchen staff who held it down for our group of 27 and half mixed ages all agreed we had the best time with such beautiful a atmosphere. we felt very taken care of We came with babies and the oldies and youngish peeps and everyone totally left with full bellies and great memories Food was amazing and this is the stuff I've missed while covid has been a dark cloud we were pleased to see the standard exceeded our total experience Creme brulee 10/10 Hot Mixed platter 😋 yummy ND good for price Parking very convenient too Accessible entrance and utilities too ♿ was a plus some of our dinner party needed the extra care Thanks again team best time all round The Wichman Whānau Support our locals team

H. M.

Come here often as its my favorite spot for brunch. The big breakfast is really good, especially the creamy mushrooms. Also not a bad price

R. M.

Service is always great here. I really must learn the main hosts name, as he's super friendly and makes it a real pleasure to visit. We often go a bit early to have dinner with the kids so for us the food is always quite quick to be served. Well priced and enjoyable. We shared the lava cake as a treat, and although a bit too runny, was still delicious. Main meals were very enjoyable too. Added bones there are a few screens around showing the current sport, which is nice, not too overbearing. Also a small lay area off the the side for families with toddlers, as well as some seating outside for a nice afternoon drink.

J. T.

Very delicious food staff were very friendly and service was very quick would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

M. W.

I loved it. Was going to go to the restaurant part but ended up just eating and staying in the bar area so this review is only for the bar. This is just your down the road and very down to earth local but with friendly and warm staff, great burgers, good prices and a good drinks range. I didn't use the restrooms but everything else seemed clean. And great little outdoor spot for some people watching with a ciggie and a drink. Go early to catch sun!

D. P.

Cozy spot for some good drinks and dinner. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant out back is nice. They have local tap and usually have weekday specials. The lamb was tender with very creamy mashed potatoes. The fish and chips had the option of being battered or breaded, and the breaded option was nice and crispy.

D. T.

Always positive experience when I go to The Realm. Dropped in early Saturday evening no booking met at door by professional staff, seated immediately and order taken without delay. Place was open and tables will spread out, music in the background and respective video on screen, good for the big game. Went to try their entry into Wellington on a Plate the "Hangry Bird" The burger was quick to come out, everyone at the table enjoyed it. They have a kids menu and highchairs. Place is wheelchair accessible and friendly someone came in on a wheelchair and didn't seem to have any problems.

L. B.

Went for Frozé, the staff are super friendly, and provided great service. Very quick to bring drinks and food

P. N.

Meals are a reasonable price, chicken schnitzel was good, but the rump steak was a bit tough. Staff were friendly and had a good atmosphere.

G. S.

Always good for a sneaky pint while waiting for takeaways. Awesomely friendly staff!

P. O.

We had a family number's birthday meal here in the Igloo. just enough room for 8 but not the most comfortable seating. It's upstairs too which made it a little difficult for the older members of the family. Although it is 'all you can eat pizza' we only managed 5 between 8 of us so at $40 each worked out as very expensive pizza. However the young waitress was very attentive and courteous. The young birthday girl enjoyed it which was the reason for going. Would only recommend the Igloo if you were hungry enough to eat 2 pizza each.

A. T.

Beautiful place. Amazing atmosphere. Good honest real food!

B. C.

Took wife, son, his partner and 2 year old granddaughter for evening dinner. Lovely meal. Noise volume probably a bit loud for the youngster but meal was nice and hot and plentiful. Enjoyable evening out.,

P.

Food was good, great price and lovely staff. Quality beer also

E. K.

Food is really good with decent serving and unpretentious. The staff are warm and friendly. The mash is one of the main reasons I go there, it’s buttery and tasty and there’s a good size portion of it. We had it with the Salmon. The mushroom risotto was creamy and yum, it’s another favourite that we all love. It’s a place to go when you are hungry and want a decent meal that won’t disappoint. Its worth consideration for any function and the fireplace crackling in winter time is a welcome bonus. Parking is another drawcard as we always find a park easily both on site and in the street. Definitely going there more often.

J. L.

Cosy wee restaurant! Great for lunch dates and a quick bite! Food is really cheap and still tastes great!

P.

Enjoyed A Nice yummy TBone steak with Creamy Mushrooms. Good service also!! 😁 😉

M. H.

Love our local! The happy hour beers and wines should at least get you through the door. If not the weekend breakfasts here are amazing. Always a special deal to be found on the menu most days. Staff are good for a laugh, and you can have a genuine chat with them without it feeling part and parcelof their job. Love the back bar and enjoying a beer in the sun on the deck out back!

P. K.

Panhead APA and chips very reasonably priced during happy hour until six. And child friendly!

B. G.

Friendly staff and nice warm fire.

D. “.

The bar is Ok but I feel it needs a little updating on the inside and the prices on meal's is quite high.

P. L.

Its been while since I was last there but the service was great and so was the food. Had an accident with my meal which ended up on the floor and they quickly cleaned it up and replaced my meal. brought back some good memories so thanks again and especially the great staff. See you next time.💯👍

S. A.

Surf and Turf WOAP burger is so, so good. And their normal Monday to Friday express lunch menu from $12 is some of the best value around.

C. S.

best ye olde pub gimmick this side of the rimatakas. the maidens are faire the covid is scarce, and the jugs are sizzling hot.

D.

Great service. Food was good

L. O.

Stopped in here for dinner as a friend works there and recommended the place. The food was great!! Really child friendly great play area for them. The waiter was quite young and did a fantastic job! The only down fall was the older blonde lady with glasses who was there doing the quizz night, we were trying to have a family dinner and shes dancing around our table constantly talking to us when she wasn't dancing she stood right by our table just watching us. It made us very uncomfortable she was asked several times to leave us alone and failed to so we ate as quickly as we could and left

S. W.

Steak was undercooked but the bar staff/lady in charge was great and had it redone no issue and didn't charge us for our next diet cokes. Thanks.

S. L.

We haven't even ordered our mains yet but I gotta the lady serving us with the glasses is an absolute legend. I'm sure the food's gonna just as good 😋

A.

Food good along with the service.

E. S.

The food here was amazing. Good sized portions and the drinks were cheaper than you would expect. The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. All of us loved our dishes. Would highly recommend.

K. J.

Great night of jazz. Food envy when my friend ordered the garden pizza (with cherse). Enjoyed my mushroom and pea risotto also.

D. C.

Great service from AJ tonight and the meals were seriously first class. Highly recommended. Definitely dining here again. Had the salmon and ribs and kids had the nachos and fish and chips.

J. M.

Great pub meals. (Spare Pork Ribs) Enjoyed mine. Nice attentitive staff making sure we were happy and comfortable. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ stars from me.

R. R.

We go once a week for lunch during the work day! The $6 brunch is great value for money! The staff are always so friendly, and they greet you like they know you. The creamy mushrooms are to die for! Great food, great service, great little local.

M. F.

The food was average. We noticed an unpleasant smell as soon as we walked through service was a bit slow and the place needs a good do over

D. C.

A terrific choice for weekend brunch. The menu is superb and keenly priced making it an excellent choice for a family weekend treat. The staff are very polite and attentive and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. Start your visit off with a cup of their fine coffee and you will be set up for an excellent start to your day.

R. S.

I dont even know where to start with this place.. I strongly recommend their wednesday and Friday special deals - 2 dishes for price of 1! I always go here with my colleagues and we order steaks, Its honestly one of the best steaks you'll ever taste and its only about $13!!! On thursday we order 2 pizzas for 1 so got two delicious pizza for $26! If you're in hataitai try this place!!

C. R.

Anz bank atm right next door. Staff very friendly

C. G.

Delicious food and efficient service. Thanks the Realm. 🍲😋 And just to add, all 8 of us there enjoyed all our meals!

A. K.

Provides all the essentials of a good pub including friendly staff with decent & affordable food & beverage. Its location is ideal for nearby sports-grounds where sports-people can go & chill after their matches. Public transport (bus) is steps away from the entrance making it an ideal place to drink, eat before catching the bus home, into the city, to the train station or airport.

M. B.

Great place. Be aware that there are 2 areas. Out the back is a sports bar with good main meals including pizza, steak and awesome weekend fry up breakfasts. Out the front is a typical pub with pokie machines and a pool table. Some outside seating which gets good evening sun in the summer.

E. A.

Awesome place AJ The bar tender is very good and goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. These pub is awesome

M. M.

The service was good the staff were good, the stairs were difficult for me when I needed to use the bathroom and if I wanted something from the bar. This restaurant wasn't user friendly for those with disabilities or those who are vision impaired or completely blind.

E. W.

Friendly staff, great venue and quick service. Had a lunch with my partner and the food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. We both had a fantastic time! A great pub.

G. N.

Best club chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. Decent sandwich with lots of chicken and salad. love the hot chips too.

P. K.

Service was great but the food.. not so much. Steak was very tough, ribs had very little meat and the fries were soggy and not cooked well. Dunno if I'd come back.

K. M.

Looks better in the photographs than it really is. Pretty average bar menu but cheap and cheerful. Wouldn't go out of my way to go there. Just happened to be in the area at the time.

G. B.

Popped in for a leisurely brunch and was pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoyed the eggs bene and the beers. Very well priced. 10/10 I'll be back.

H. W.

Great spot, well priced breakfast / brunch meals. Good to see smaller size breakfast as well as larger

M. S.

This was a good place to meet with friends. A bit unfortunate that we had to meet upstairs the first time (I am disabled) but more than accommodating the next time. Nice home style food.

O. J.

Nice front bar and warm. Weather was raining but still good to gave few beers with mates

A. S.

I discovered this pub during my stay in Wellington and loved it. Saturday night was steak night and on Sunday it was roast night. Wholesome tasty food and super friendly service.

G. A.

Hands down best bar staff are Niwa and Sam (who has since left) hoping that the new staff are just as good. Great local pub, good prices and your standard pub food.

J. S.

$6 brunch of perfectly poached eggs on thick toasted hataitai bakery bread with a hearty serve of good quality bacon strips and a hash brown. Can't fault it :) the back bar has a nice old timber bar feel to it, with good natural light, i much prefer it to the front street facing part.

T. B.

Great pub food with reasonable prices that you don't see often around Wellington.

M. T.

love going there for breakfast awesome staff great food my go to is the bacon hash 👌

S. B. L. R.

a very nice Pub in Haitaitai and the Barmanager Sam is very friendly!!! he earns 5* actually. you can sit outside, they have a kids corner and they have different things going on during the week for example billiards competition :)

S. A.

Loved, loved, loved the food. Awesome customer service from staff. Child friendly. This is definitely our new fav place to have dinner.

E.

A good honest local, good value pub grub, pokies, tab and pool table, great for a beer after work or with the lads, but not a romantic location for taking a date.

A. P.

R. V.

Im a bit of a pizza person. I have been around Wellington. And I have to say. Pizza here.. met my standard. Not quite thin crust. Not quite thick either. Try the Smokey Jack.. its Awesome.. the nearest place from here that does decent pizza is Fidels. In Cuba street.. Heaven pizza acros from fidels is ok.. but anything around here.. is just.. bleh...

H.
