The Malthouse - Te Aro
About The Malthouse
The Malthouse story all began at 47 Willis Street, and has in its history been home to a succession of fine drinking establishments ever since the building was first built in 1910. God only knows how many people have sat at tables there – or lain underneath them since!
Back in 1910 there formally stood arguably Wellington’s first and finest hotel – “The Barrett’s” – all five stories of it!! Somewhere it lost three stories and it must have been well, one hell of a party!!! Actually there was a huge fire in 1983 that caused so much damage that it was decided to demolish the floors rather than fix them.
Then along came the “New Barrett’s Bar”. This was without a doubt Wellingtons most popular inner city bar in its time. It closed when The Chase Group were about to knock down the building and erect a twin to the BNZ tower. The crash of ‘87 put an end to that, and the building remained empty for a number of years.
It still to this day features a fantastic balcony, which was back then not allowed to be used in case it was not strong enough to hold people. That was until an enterprising engineer looked up pictures of when the Beatles were in town back in the late 60’s, and that then revealed hundreds of fans jumping on the balcony as they cheered on the Fab Four. It was then proved OK to have a few diners sitting with a beer or two on it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome range of beers. The table service makes tasters unavailable. The negative of this visit was that the person who served us was unhelpful and seemed to be in a bad mood (unusual as he is normally lovely)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tidy and friendly vibes. Great selection of beers but I don't like beers and there was only one cider to choose from. Recommend if you like beer, but not if you looking for cider. Obviously has a decent selection of spirits if you want to skip all the way there ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This must be the best craft beer bar in New Zealand. Great selection on tap and by the bottle. Excellent pizza too. It can be busy on a Friday evening...as you'd expect.
