The little gem in the heart of Wellington
Poquito lies outside of the hustle and bustle of Courtney Place down the quieter side of Tory Street, breaking boundaries with craft cocktail service and eclectic whisky. We’re an atmospheric retreat with actual Kiwi hospitality, a salacious rendezvous with Caffeine and a spirit encyclopedia, all rolled into one. We are always in the lab creating new ingredients or researching old ones, but eschewing the stiffness of the classic cocktail bar in favour of relaxed, laid back service and effortless libations.
Our dynamic spirits selection is continually changing to reflect the best of the best of any different style. The whisky selection emphasises curated examples from important distilleries as opposed to the usual spread of generic age statements. Weekly live music from Wellington’s indie songwriting scene provides the perfect backdrop to meetings with friends or explorative nights out, and we encourage anyone with an instrument or an original to come on by and perform.
Poquito exists as a small family dream to provide international hospitality and knowledge with a truly Kiwi approach. To that end we keep a commitment to Wellington’s hospitality family – absurd family pricing will always be found here.
