US dollar amounts are a mid-market estimate as of 2026-10-28, not the venue's price. The venue charges New Zealand dollars.
A drink on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday is inside the . Friday's drink discount and Wednesday's house gin are named and not given a number. Weekend food is 5 to 7, inside a 4-to-7 drinks window whose drink prices are not printed. GST is included. A tip is not expected.
Deal last verified 2026-10-28. Confirmed on the venue’s own website.
Worth knowing in Wellington
Wellington prints a short after-work hour, the same shape as Auckland, on the rooms that bother to price it.
The rule
New Zealand allows a posted drink discount. You must be 18. GST is 15% and is already in the price. A tip is not expected. See the New Zealand page.
The custom
Thorndon does a 4-to-6 plate with a drink, and a longer weekend window. Courtenay Place does a Monday-to-Saturday 4-to-6 at one price for a snack and a house pour. A page that names the hour and leaves the price off is not on this card.
Using the Atlas here
Every Wellington card in this first wave was read on the venue’s own site in October 2026. A line at $25 or $35 is the package the page prints, a plate and a drink together, not one cocktail at that price.
Across New Zealand
New Zealand allows a posted happy hour. The drinking age is 18, the price on the menu already includes GST, and a promotion built to make people drink too much is an offence.
The vibe
The restaurant at the Wellington Quarter Hotel in Thorndon, with a priced plate every afternoon.
