About Underworld Tavern

Tucked down 13 Pirie Street in Mount Victoria (just above central Wellington), Underworld Tavern is equal parts neighbourhood tavern and rock-friendly craft beer haven.

Walk in and you’ll sense the vibe immediately: a warehouse-style bar, drinks heavy on craft brews and beers rather than just cocktails, a rooftop / glass-house style bar area for fresh air and views, and a crowd that spans beer enthusiasts, music lovers and locals on relaxed nights out.

The drinks list is rich

plenty of NZ IPAs, hazy ales, stouts and rotating taps from regional breweries. On the food side, they’ve got serious burgers (brisket, fried-chicken) and smoked meats alongside vegetarian / vegan-friendly bites. Live music, board-games nights, cult movie screenings and a general sense of “come-as-you-are” energy also feature, making it more than your standard bar.

In short

Underworld Tavern is a well-rounded venue for craft beer lovers, casual group nights, date nights with a bit of edge or simply hanging with good drinks in an unpretentious space with character.
