my friend is taking a liking to this place.. maybe because of all the good looking people who go there,

but i Have a little issue to pick with this place, as it is just tooooo cramped!!!! so small considering the amount of people who go there! celebs and the public! this is why i sort of get out of going there, as well as parking it can be a nuisance! but otherwise a great atmosphere and seating

Another fantastic night at chapel!

Loving their new winter menu, crumbed fish bites, tasty mushroom risotto balls, lamb pizza…..Yum!!! Oh and come on ladies the chocolate mouse was sloop good!

Great staff and always a nice touch having the friendly owner there making sure you are being looked after.

Thanks Chapel another great night;)

Was at the Chapel last night – really buzzing atmosphere, cosy and warm plus the bonus of an acoustic live band, well worth checking out! I sampled some of their winter menu and I was pretty impressed.

Especially tasty was the pork belly with apple, the crumbed fish bites, the lamb pizza and the flavoursome mushroom risotto balls… keen to go back and sample the salt & pepper squid now.

Definitely recommend as a great place for a date!

Tried the winter menu last night, really impressed.

Loved the pork belly with apple, crumbed chicken schnitzels on potato salad, soft shell crab on spiced slaw and the amazing pumpkin pizza with roasted pumpkin, zucchini, sweet & sour onions, gorgonzola, pine nuts & baby spinach.

Delish – great food on a chilly winters night!

Chapel rocks – plain and simple. If you are looking for a quiet beer and a pizza then go tue, wed or sat nights. Any other night and you could be in the middle of a full on party. Always plenty of staff on so you never have to wait for service at the bar or from the kitchen no matter how busy they are.

Not that I ever expected to like it – but the Salmon Pizza is superb – capers, cream cheese and salmon on a pizza! perfect!

Interesting off the wall decor which really give this place a good relaxing atmosphere – kind of like your living room – but not.

Always some good sounds on with DJ’s on at different times and days. And as for Sunday afternoons – what is it with that – the place can be just teaming with people not wanting to go to work the next day – always great fun and a must visit on any Ponsonby Rd bar trek.

The pizzas at this place are simply outstanding; lovely soft doughy bases with generous toppings that compliment each other perfectly. The atmosphere is fun, and the location is great for a Ponsonby Road bar hop.
