Meow
This groovy place on Edwards Street embodies the artsy, alternative vibe that Wellington is famed for. The furniture has a retro, mid-century style, and the beer, wine and spirits are mostly independent and slightly different from what you might expect. Even the name, Meow, is typical Wellington. There’s nothing quite like being asked where you’re off to later and seeing a slightly confused expression on the person’s face when you reply, “Meow.” They’re also into their music here, with notables such as as Electric Wire Hustle performing fairly regularly.
