crumpet

came here for cocktails and was blown over by the choice! i did flick through the box and got myself a cheeky green lady. our table was very wonky and i was worried one misplaced elbow would have sent it shattering to the floor. the feel and (snobby word alert) ambience of this little bar is great. the music, pictures and attentivestaffmade it for me. i sadly didn't want any crumpets but i'd only want one covered in jam and butter anyway! would recommend for a date with a difference or classy cocktails with a select few friends.

this is far and away my favorite bar in wellington. thestaffgo out of their way to make sure every drink is amazing, and are a wealth of information about everything they have on the shelf. top notch.

cute venue. went there on a friday night with friends who had been there before. no drinks list that we saw. apparently you are best to order cocktails. very hipster. had a nice glass of wine as did everyone else. we all ordered crumpets. none of us could read the food menu as it was dark. not sure whether this place is so exceptionally hip that you have to know what goes on here or what. waitress was a bit ditzy. barstaffamusing to watch making cocktails. needs a bit of process re-engineering if they want to make any money as was entertaining to watch but one could easily die of thirst. half the stuff we ordered wasn't on our bill. goodness me. good to be hip but you have to be able to run a business. if others weren't as honest as us one would wonder how long the place will last. i can now say i have been to a groovy hipster bar so can recommend such a thing to out of towners but really was a bit pretentious. nice to see a different side of wellington though.

we've visited crumpet many times and love the fact that it is a little different from most of its neighbouring bars. the range of beers & wines is excellent and if you are after an interesting cocktail then you'll be delighted by the bar staff's expertise and care in preparing your drink. the décor is somewhere between parisian bar and 1950's tea room and there's always interesting (often jazz) music playing in the background. thestaffare friendly and very attentive. if you are after somewhere a little bit different and special then this is the place.

stopped in for an afternoon cocktail and had a terrible experience. barstaffwere really snobby and have had much better elsewhere.
