This used to be a «gang» pub. For those not up to date with gang culture in NZ, it pretty much meant that no sane person would have ever gone in there!
Enter Paul Rowan… a Manchester lad who has a pretty good track record in launching really good gastro pubs in the Wellington area.
And he has done it again folks… the Empire is a great place to meet for a beer, have a snack or sit down for a good feed. Fish and Chips in newspaper… the PC brigade haven’t reached NZ yet… or, in a first for the area, stonegrill meals… where your meat of choice arrives on a hot stone and you get to cook it the way you like it!!!
Jazz on Sundays, Live music at the weekends with free sausage sizzle (it’s a banger wrapped in bread) on Friday nights are all things that have made this the No1 Meeting place in Petone.
If that hasn’t tempted you… they have Giant Jenga in the ber garden…
