Two ideas quicken the pulse of every Kiwi: The Great Outdoors. And The Great Indoors. At our award winning The Southern Cross Garden Bar Restaurant, we reckon we’ve got it bang on.

For over 100 years we’ve been a favourite Wellington meeting place but every year we try to take it to a whole new level.
We’ve pulled apart just about everything on the inside and started from scratch. With such a huge area to play with, we’ve definitely had some fun.
We’ve created a lot of different ‘spaces’ to suit whatever mood you’re in or whatever requirement you have. So, if you want a beer at the bar or a low seat by the fire, to hang out in the garden bar or sit down to a fantastic meal in the dining room, we’ve got the space to suit!

We went there for my friend’s birthday. We had a very good time, the service was very nice and the stone grill was very excited to us even though I don’t know how to Cook!!

Love it, will be back soon :)

Not quite sure about this one – I rate the bar and location as great – nice outdoor seating, good all year, winter and summer. There is always a wide range of people there which makes life interesting. Food wise – I dont rate it so well. Tends to be good food, but a little overpriced.
Definately back for drinks, but elsewhere for food.

Great atmosphere at the Southern Cross, especially the outdoor garden and different sections of the bar. However, the restaurant really lets them down. I’m a regular at the Thursday night Real Groovy Music Quiz (thanks guys – it’s awesome!) and sometimes go to their Sunday night dance lessons (again, great!). Occasionally I will grab a light meal while there, but the menu is limited and quality unappetising. This morning, my partner and I went for brunch. Once again, the food was very average with an incredibly limited menu. I didn’t realise that Saturday morning brunch = kids’ playtime session at the Cross. It’s one thing to be child-friendly; it’s another to have kids running around screaming while sliding along the floor. We’ll happily drink there again and enjoy the entertainment, but this won’t include food.
