The Welsh Dragon Bar

The Welsh Dragon Bar in Wellington is a lively, welcoming pub that brings a taste of Welsh hospitality and pub culture to New Zealand’s capital. Located on Cambridge Terrace in the Mount Victoria/Te Aro area, it stands out for its authentic pub feel, friendly staff, and a mix of classic pub food and drinks with an international twist. Step inside and you'll find wood-rich interiors, Welsh memorabilia (dragon flags, rugby shirts, Welsh beer taps) and a relaxed yet spirited atmosphere. According to reviews, it’s described as “a little taste of Wales” with a “huge selection of Welsh beers and ciders available.” The bar menu does more than just drinks: you’ll find hearty mains like pub-steak, bangers & mash, Sunday roast (including vegetarian/vegan versions), and an emphasis on quality-comfort food. One guest called their steak “the best pub steak in Wellington.” As the evening deepens, the energy picks up: live music nights, sports on big screens, regular quiz nights and a beer garden for summer evenings add to the social vibe. While the ambience remains friendly for locals and visitors alike, by 7pm the crowd often shifts toward a more upbeat weekend-bar energy. Situated on Cambridge Terrace — part of Wellington’s vibrant Courtenay/Cambridge precinct — the pub is easy to access from the city centre and nightlife hubs. Whether you’re looking for an early-evening drink, dinner plus pints, or a full night out, The Welsh Dragon is flexible and fun.
