The Old Bailey is Wellington's original NZ pub. Book a function, pop by for an early morning breakfast or make the most of our weekday happy hour!

Nestled in the heart of Wellington's CBD we are a stone's throw from Parliament, Sky Stadium and the Wellington Railway Station. The Old Bailey, surrounded by its litigious neighbors can offer you an ideal venue for relief from a long sentence; whether it be dining in “Chambers” or a drink at The Bar, we are here to serve you.
