Reviews of Havana Bar

J. M.

Our new favourite. Early after work dinner and such a cool vibe, great friendly team. Beautiful tasty food. Tapa style so you get to try many tempting dishes. With fruity sangria on the side there is a lot to like.

M. P. C. A.

Havana is a very reliable bar to enjoy a good cocktail and snacks. The atmosphere is private and chill; The service and food are always to point. The food menu has improved since the last time that I went around. Loved the presentation of each plate and everything was tasty. Great job! 👏🏽

R. T.

Great food, great service!

F. R.

Really nice bar to hang out. Great selection of exquisite rums. Nice cocktails too. Can really recommend this place.

T. N.

We were lucky enough to get a table. 8pm sitting. It was lovely but rather too noisy. The tables were packed closely b together and it was difficult to converse. I was happy ish with my meal. However our potato dish was cold. The duck dish was also cold and chewy. I've have much better duck elsewhere. The glazed carrots that came with the duck were delicious. 😊

S. T.

Fabulous food, superb service. Great interiors, just an all round great experience. Definitely ask your waitstaff for advice on how much to order.

We were recommended Havana by a friend of a work friend and weren't really sure what to expect. Cuban food? Given me and my wife's dietary restrictions, eating out tends to be as much a challenge for us as it is for the dining establishment we've chosen to prey upon 😂 Between the two of us we cannot eat gluten, dairy, soy, bell pepper (capsicum), and we choose not to eat meat/fish. So, it was surprising for both of us when we were given an allergens specific menu, reassured that the kitchen would do it's very best to accommodate us, and served some of the most astoundingly delicious food we've had since visiting NZ (all this despite the staff being clearly stretched thin on a pretty busy night). Was the food we ordered Cuban? Nope. But it didn't matter. It was incredible. The flavors, textures and satiation brought to our table with each dish was unparalleled and completely unexpected. As long as you don't mind having a little patience and going out on a limb, your stomach will thank you for dining here.

D. B.

Awesome little hideaway spot. My wife and I got a lucky walk in table last Saturdsy night. It was a cold night but the Havana bar had a cozy welcome atmosphere. Very good food and wine. We loved our few hours there. Great vibe!

S. K.

First time to Havana Bar, 6 of us went from work at 5:30pm on a Wednesday. Restaurant side of the place was very quiet at this time but by the time we left at 7:45pm there was hardly an empty table. Waiter was very informative and gave good advice on the menu. We ordered 6 different entrees and all the mains and shared all between us. Loved the peas in the entree the best. Nice place.

V. M.

A great environment, friendly staff, original cocktails and delicious food. I went there with my lovely husbsnd for some drinks followed by dinner. The highlight was the awesome De Lujo 2.0, a manuka-smoked blend of products (including smoke) create this unforgettable cocktail.

R. P.

What a little gem in the heart of Wellington. Great atmosphere, very cosy. We all ordered something different from the menu and shared it. The meals were well presented and the flavour combinations were amazing. The staff are a credit to the restaurant, providing a fantastic service. Highly recommend this lovely little spot

b.

The food here is surprisingly yummy. Each dish we ordered has it s own unique flavor.

J. M.

A fantastical experience! Tucked away in the bustle of Wellington City... transported to a place of vibrancy, delicious smells, potent cocktails and friendly staff. And after returning after a year its still just as amazing as ever

K. B.

Great food and friendly staff, brussel sprouts were delicious!

T. T.

Love, love, love this place!! Yummy drinks with a really cool atmosphere and super friendly staff.

A. M.

Great value for money, had the date night package. Desert was DELICIOUS.

S. v. d. M.

Very nice 2 plate tapas. The chicke skins and haloumi bread were very nice. Super handy location to Movies opposite. Definitely to be recommended.

S. T. T.

On the recommendation of my brother Peter, we went to the Havana near Cuba Street. Good choice, we ate in the restaurant and had a lovely selection of tapas. R particularly enthused by the pickled mushrooms and her dessert of liquorice flavoured pannacotta.

N. A.

We stumbled across this restaurant quite by accident. Really glad we did, it's like an oasis in the city. Great tasting origina tapasl food. Fantastic friendly staff. A really quirky building too. I highly recommend going here

R.

Great place with plenty of character and good food. Wine is on the higher priced side.

A. T.

Amazing dinner, Verity was so entertaining and knowledgeable. Portions are massive!

B. P.

Cozy place. Great staff, really chill people and down to earth. Chips were delicious and drinks we're also delicious.

J. T.

Wonderful friendly service (served by the lovely Karla), funky warm ambiance and music. The food and choice were sublime. Possibly the best meal we have ever had. Thank you to all for a wonderful evening.

P. S.

Awesome cocktails, good music, good people. Really liked the interior. Loved "Flight of the Oaxacans"...sooo good! Also the prawn tapas are to die for

R.

Lovely evening. Terrific service as always. Great music and atmos. Amazing food. The new Octopus dish is a must, and the pork belly was outstanding.

E. S.

I don't give 5 stars easily. This was such a lovely evening. Amazing food that's worth paying for, made with care and finesse. Small portions, but that's part of the magic. Great service. Would come back again.

D.

Menu was not great. Potentially post covid recovery menu - pork belly and tortellini, completely different continents from South America, and the tapas are fairly basic. Still tasty food... but not as I remember from pre 2016, when this was a regular hot spot for me and friends.

B. T.

An adbaorble place which is quiet enough to enjoy the surrounding decor. Brilliant staff, friendly and attentive. The bar has a great selection of cocktails and has a great vibe. Would come again!

P. K.

Love the ambiance, the cocktails and the music. If you like to go out for a drink after dinner, this would be a good place to go. Haven't tried the food, but heard good things about it.

H. P.

Really nice food, would 10/10 reccomend the bread and the prawns. Peckhams cider is an absolute winner for a cider selection.

M. K.

Love this place. Not giving 5 stars because they are overoriced. $6 for a tiny oyster is too much. Sangrias were ok but nothing to write home about. That said, great music, great character and ambience. Would definitely come back.

N.

Absolutely loved the decor of this place and the vibe. So chill and the servers were super friendly. I asked for a sweet-ish, chocolate-ish cocktail and the Mint Flip cocktail was just divine! Would definitely recommend this place!

A.

Love the food here. Greet service. Shared our meals which is always fun getting the right balance ...... hadn’t seen our friends in a while so a lot to catch up on. We were sitting below a ceiling speaker and have to say was quite an effort to hear each other talk. Think it’s important to get that music ambience balanced so that can talk comfortably at the table. Perhaps next time

A. T.

food and customer service was wonderful

a. t.

Enjoyed NY eve degustation. Yummy!

A. C.

Hidden gem outside the main streets. We came here when it was quiet. Had cocktails and it was nice. A bit pricey, but not a bad experience. The interior and outside is very cute.

A.

Good vibes and even better food! Make sure to get the prawns and the roasted potatoes! Love coming here, staff is incredibly lovely as well! Such a cool spot!

V.

Had some nice tappas. Place was really busy due to festival, staff were really busy, yet they got everything right with a smile. We didn't wait long for drinks or food. Nice atmosphere.

S. B.

Had a great meal here. Shared 4 entrees. Bok choy, calamari, prawns and crispy potatoes. All were yum. Service was brilliant. Pork belly has been taken off the menu😟 Will go back.

A. J.

Great service and incredible food! Make sure you go and find the secret toilet.

R. B.

Great environment with great service and great food. Really amazing how everything came together in this place. Staff definitely knows what they're doing and created a cozy environment. Chef knows how to create some really good and creative dishes. So far the best eating experience in NZ.

A. L.

Busy, nice cocktail. Bar food was nice.. Interesting food.

H. S.

One pub with the real character in Wellington. Good place for catching up.

S. S.

A great selection of drinks. Excellent coffee and very good food

M. H.

Good fun place, not cheap though.

J.

Always great place. Bit of a wait for the cocktail but there was a function going on. Lovely service. Good vibe!!!!

M. A.

I have been to many many restaurants in Wellington but I have never tasted such wonderful food like this before. Food was just amazing, rich flavours in every single bite, adequate proportions, and reasonable price. I couldn't decide which is my favourite dish, they were all top class. I will definitely go back to try other dishes. Brilliant Chief and staff. Thank you.

Really great food a bit spicy 🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥

c. h.

A must go to restaurant. As 2 Seniors who travel extensively, we just loved the food. One of the most delicious meals we have had anywhere. We went on a Tuesday night & the place was buzzing. The staff were friendly & efficient. An interesting decor. Absolutely A1 Carol & Eileen 8/10/19

G. H.

Staff are always friendly and polite, the food changes daily and is always outstanding and packed with flavour. A very nice and relatively cozy place to eat and share food with friends! Also, Havana and all the staff involved were excellent and super helpful when helping me organise my birthday dinner there. We had about 15 people and the set menus, service and hospitality were all wonderful and the night was magical because of it. I would go there again in a heartbeat.

M.

What a great place to meet friends, share some food and have a drink. We ordered a mix of food- highly recommend the prawns, crispy Falafel, green bean dish and the roasted carrots were YUM! Staff were friendly and service was great!

P. K.

God water (cocktail) not very good. Food a bit on the salty side. Friendly service.

J.

The shared menu for six was perfect for us. The rolled lamb was 'melt in the mouth' fabulous! Staff attentive and welcoming. Deco is engaging. Highly recommend!

N. B.

A real find off the end of Cuba St. Had a business lunch here today. Everything was excellent! Best tapas I've ever had. Real fine dining quality door and presentation. Brilliant service, very cool decor and great ambience. Will be booking dinner here with my beautiful wife very soon! Also need to book some time in the beer garden at the back as we head in to summer. The only surprise was that it wasn't busier - but I'm not complaining about that. Highly recommended!

I. H.

A hidden Gem on the Wellington low key bar scene, if you don't know you don't know. The kind of place you go to when you want to hang out with mates, like a house party with expensive drinks

D. (.

Could not fault the food at all. We had mushrooms, chilli prawns, pork belly, beef cheeks. Delicious. The waitress was excellent and certainly knew her wines. The staff must get good training. Good atmosphere. Definitely going back

J. B.

Fantastic food, great drinks selection and friendly and helpful staff. Havana is one of the best casual dining experiences in Wellington. The menu is constantly revolving, and the prawns are deservedly famous. It can sometimes be a little noisy, but on those magical still Wellington summer nights, with the doors open, Havana can't be beat.

h. c.

excellent night out. finding the bathroom behind the bookcase is just the best touch. lovely food, extensive drinks menu serves mainly local craft brews. staff were helpful and attentive, thank you. Only downer was the feeling of pressure to add a tip to my $347 biĺl. no issues with the bill, but if the boss is not rewarding his staff for providing excellent service, they should shut up shop. How does the boss feel about paying extra on top of the bill he receives for deliveries or trades services? NZ is not a tipping country, don't rip us off. This sort of carry on is enough to send me elsewhere next time, recommendations less.

D.

We popped into Havana Bar for a drink and a snack before a movie and went back for dinner afterwards. The staff were very friendly. The tapas they served were filling and tasty. A great range of craft beers and cocktails. Wait staff bring drinks and food to the table. The place was busy but my wife and I were able to sit quietly together at a corner table. We will be back for more.

O.

On this day (22 Aug 2019), I felt particularly warm and cosy with everything from the wait staff till the end. The food was all very tasty. The cocktails were very good, too. Service was good. The atmosphere was good.

A.

Restaurant review - The food, presentation and service, was perfect for us. We tried many different plates (as it's a tapas style menu) and each plate was really well cooked with good tasty sauces, and sides. Drinks & cocktails really good too!

H. P.

Awesome place, its layout is in a H. One half of it is a beautiful upbeat modern rustic style restaurant with a bar and through to the other side it is a proper bar with a Cuban vibe to it. Such a unique place with a guaranteed enjoyable experience every time. Delicious tapas food with a very flexible menu for allergies like gluten free and dairy free. JUST ASK! They will give you a customized menu to your own needs so you know exactly what you can or cant have or can swap something with. They catered over and above for us and we didn't go hungry or miss out on any delicious flavors. Awesome customer service. 10 stars !☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

A. P.

Impeccable service, amazing and great tasting food! (They make their own bread, butter, ricotta and other things!!) Wine list to please many. Unbelievable value given the quality. We'll be back! :)

k.

Made it there for happy hour and we had great margaritas to kick things off. The staff were friendly and attentive.

U. P.

Food was good, but we were crowded in like sardines. I got to hear more of the neighbors tables conversation than my own.

G.

A surprise find but one that just blew me away. From the decor to the super friendly and helpful happy staff, I enjoyed my experience. The food was devine and came out is super speedy fashion. The wine was to die for and reasonably priced as was the food. Cant speak highly of the place and one i will definately be returning to. Well done Havana Bar 10 out of 10.

L. J.

This has become a place I plan to frequent. I'm very happy I popped in its well worth having a look, and the service there is great. Try the mezcal cocktail they have going at the moment. It's delightful

H. N.

Excellent small plates, attentive service and nice selection of drinks, beers, cocktails at the bar. In the next room is a terrific restaurant. Live music nights here are also very good.

J.

Amazing tapas! The prawns were phenomenal! Beautiful ambiance as well

D. H.

Had the muliti course share meal, each part had wonderful flavors, creative ingredients. Loved the sole. Very efficient service, great vibe.

J. M. D.

I would normally give it a four. However on our last visit we were next to door which staff frequently used for meal and drink delivery. Did have a beautiful Scotch which was recommended and tasty snacks. Atmosphere is great, however could do with a freshen up.

J.

Great small bar that can, and does, fit in alot of like minded party people for a good night. When it's going off with a band or great DJ the place is heaving. Bar staff are excellent, food is good and well presented but this isn't a place to head for "that" ultimate dining experience

S.

We went for the Big Foodie Quiz(Wellington on a plate event). We were expecting only finger food and were most delighted with the platters presented. We got gnocchi, beef cheeks, yams, salmon tartare in sesame cones, confit baby carrots and raspberry jam jellies with pineapple sherbet. All the plates were delicious and I felt that a lot of thought and detail has been put into making a unique event like this so enjoyable. Kudos to the crew and chefs at Havana Bar.

J. G.

Brilliant food, drinks and atmosphere. The best spot in Wellington. We had a lovely Scottish girl call Nell who served us. Truly wonderful experience

N. A.

Cold evening, warm environment (and Company). Knowledgeable and resourceful bartenders delivering knockout drinks, not just metaphorically speaking! You know who you are (Dave) et al. Snacked at the bar, Wow..... Spicy prawns did not disappoint, nor the mushrooms and crispy potatoes. Will definitely return

M. A. D. B.

My favourite bar in Wellington. Lovely welcome and homely vibe every time i go there. The sharing plate food is delicious too. Highly recommended for an afternoon chill out in the centre of Wellington city.

D.

Incredible tapas, cocktails, service, atmosphere, and music. It doesn't matter if your after a meal, a drink, or a night out, this place is NOT to be missed out on any trip to Wellington (and if your a local who hasn't been through yet then you absolutely must!). If you get the chance to check out the place when the Richter City Rebels are playing you are in for a world class experience!

J. N.

I celebrated my birthday with 18 beautiful ladies at Havana bar and we had an awesome experience! Great atmosphere, beautiful food, nice music but best of all was the wonderful service. I would definitely recommend Havana Bar.

B. M.

Awesome cocktails and very friendly staff. What more could you want? :)

J.

Great spot, hidden away from the main streets of Wellington! Funky place to go for a drink with a great atmosphere and upbeat staff. Definitely enjoyed the happy hour mojitos. If youre in the area and have a thirst to quench, you won't regret stopping in here :)

S. H.

Enticing Hispanic tapas adapted to great NZ food ingredients, served by attentive staff in characterful, not overly flash, dining area. A bar next door allows the evening to warm up....

T.

Exceptional experience... food, wine, quality staff and brilliant ambience.

E.

Went to Prawnageddon and I think I'll never have prawns again. Thanks for the worst prawn dreams yet. 😩 Would like to see prawn stamps next time. (In all seriousness, awesome food and drinks, just try not to eat too many prawns).

V. M.

They literally read my mind with a custom made cocktail 😍

D.

Just a great range of well prepared and tasty dishes. Recommended

N. C.

Was anticipating something good. The peeps behind Fidels created this and maybe we werent there at the right time. We had a bunch of tapas and none of them were great. The bread components were disappointing. Possibly later in the evening it gets more of a vibe on. It seemed like more of a bistro than a bar. Overall not a bad time, but not great.

P. B.

Fantastic tapas in an atmospheric little building constructed out of two old character cottages in a dingy back street of wellington.

S. D.

Everyone is so friendly and nice even though it gets hella busy! Service is top notch! As for the foods and drinks, well ❤️❤️❤️ you'll have to go and give it a try.

j. p.

Best service, best drinks in Wellington. Had been for the last 10 years at least. Great job keeping the standard so high for all these years. Every night out is incomplete without a visit here.

P.

The drinks are small. The bottom of the glasses they use is extra thick leaving less space for the drinks. No draft cider 👎

W.

Great looking place. Friendly service. Cocktails were.... ok.

K.

Best place to enjoy a good beer and delicious finger food on a sunny day.

T. N.

Love it, awesome food and the staff are sooo friendly was amazing will definitely come back again.

V. P.

Awesome ambience with scrumptious food and fun loving people behind the bar 🍸🍾👌

J. S.

Wellington classic with a few hints and offerings that make it truly a must-visit location. With a huge list of wines and cocktails, Havana is a great choice for drinks. Coupling its evening menu with the restaurant next door, Havana has a cool casualness that makes it very appealing; also in true Guevaran form, cigars are available at the bar

S.

Very cool vibe and amazing classic setup

D.

One of the best secrets in Wellington. The bar is fantastic and I highly recommend it. Really cool ambience. Great cocktails, great bar food and also great live music.

C. W.

Good service. We turned up late. Served us last drinks. Let us stay a bit because they were nice. Good tunes. All good

m.

It's a pity but they never learn. Less than a year they haven't got it into their thick skulls re charging a credit card fee. It's the only place that persists with this. I eat out frequently and this is the only place that still does this. Guys, it's called pissing the punter off. I WONT EAT THERE AGAIN ON PRINCIPLE AND I URGE OTHERS NOT TO EITHER. There's plenty of other cafes in Wellington just as quirky.

C.

Excellent food, very friendly service and a great atmosphere! Can highly recommend Havana for group functions. Had a lovely evening there on Friday.

K.

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Love this place!

T. U.

Great value during happy hour! Not sure if they still doing it?

T. B.

Awesome little spot tucked away in a side street. Great tapas and wine list. One of my favourite spots in Wellington for a drink.

Á. M.

Nice and unique place with warm athmosphere. They have great selection of drinks and the staff is quite friendly too. Sometimes they also have proper dancing parties as well.

C. c. W.

Awesome food, quirky and unexpected. Head waitress a little rude but the rest were a breath of fresh air!

D.

Dinner was superb! Drinks unbelievable! And the service was the best in new Zealand! Especially with kids! Thank you so much for that evening!

E. B.

Food was pretty unimpressive and very little of it, staff seemed to be all over the place and not interested in finding out answers to our questions. Bit of a letdown really.

C.

Fantastic service and great food

E. J.

A real gem. Food was phenomenal. Cosy and cool inside. Staff super nice & attentive. Will definitely be back.

J.

Great atmosphere, good food and drinks, staff very welcoming and service outstanding.

J.

Delicious tapas and great friendly service

R. T. M.

I really like this place. The food and atmosphere is great

H. S.

Lovely place. Great service, delicious food and the atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommended.

H.

Last night was my first time here and we loved it. Food was great, service was amazing, will definitely be back :)

E. O. (.

High quality music, nice drinks and food. Could be a bit pricey but you get what you paid for. Classic bar and the "hidden" location even adds character.

S. M.

Stunning food. I see why they made it into the Cuisine awards. I would highly recommend dropping in here if you are ever in Wellington.

B. W.

Always crowded and noisy, but in a good way. Food pretty good. Some not quite right sauce combos in the dishes. Fresh, and skillfully prepared.

G. B.

A great place to meet for a beer (craft available). The tapas isn’t bad either. We drank more than we ate.

S.

Only stayed for a drink but liked what we saw. Funky venue, laid back hipster staff and a broad and affordable selection on the drinks menu.

S.

Great place! Very cool vibe and decor that reminded me of 1920's Havana. There was a 3 piece string with drums band playing and it was so cool.

G. P.

Tasty food, great service. Always something different to eat. Can get very busy so a good idea to book ahead.

S. B.

Good food and drinks. But very pricey for what you get. 4 small tapas plates, 1 drink each for 2 people. $130.

T. C.

You have to try the cocktails! Amazing walnut infused rum, spiced rum, quince syrup, try them all. The food here is also very tasty but slightly expensive.

K. J.

Truly different. Applause all round ..food really refreshing and inspiring. awesome selection of craft beer and unbelievable service

A.

If one is on the hunt for Tapas and a drinks menu as big as my student debt then one would be foolish to pass up on this tasty little location. Outstanding/10

U. B.

Every item we ordered was outstanding. Special kudos to the dish with the shrimps as well as the the one with the snapper.

G.

Fabulous food, cool restaurant in adjoining old houses.

a.

A Wellington icon with an inviting trendy feel. Regular live music. But they overcrowd it making it harder to enjoy.

B. M.

Cool and funky....great waiter, barman was too cool

A.

What a great place! Bar on one side and restaurant on the other. The prawns and kingfish were delicious!! The vibe was great.

G.

Nice music, good drinks and friendly staff. Strangely, it seems larger on the inside than it appears on the outside. A bit polished on the inside.

M.

Good food and drink. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Can be difficult to get a table at peak times but definately with a look.

S.

Such a cool place! Amazing food and drink. I love all the different sections to the space.

J. L.

Just wow!!! Fabulous quirky decor, beautiful food. We had a 40 dollar set menu... e reka!!!

H.

Quirky little spot. Great food and atmosphere. Warm and toastie outside.

R.

Great service that understands the food philosophy well and isn't shy about making smart recommendations. Food is always consistent and full of flavour

B.

It's both a restaurant and bar. We sat in the bar and had excellent tapas (don't miss the corn) and drinks

K.

Great atmosphere to share with friends. Just a bit expensive for a small plate. Very delicious though.

D. K.

A cosy place little bit hitten but worth to be discovered. I love this place for more than 10 years now.

A.

A lovely little place. Staff are friendly and the small secluded areas give it a very nice atmosphere.

S. W.

Such a cool place! Amazing food and drink. I love all the different sections to the space.

The pork belly is the best I've had in Wellington! Good coffee and a comfy atmosphere.

Try the De lujo! Their spiced tincture in a beaker, pumped full of Manuka smoke. Joyful charred goodness!

R.

Very tasty good. Helpful staff. The haloumi cheese is out of the world. Try the craft beers

P.

Super cool space and the service was top notch.
