About PLONK

Conveniently located in the heart of Wellington's lively CBD, Plonk Wine Bar is a vibrant addition to the city's dynamic dining scene. It offers a modern and stylish retreat for both professionals and wine enthusiasts.

Plonk's interior is a seamless blend of contemporary design and comfort, the combination of sleek steel and plush leather creating a compelling atmosphere. The bar area is particularly eye-catching, with a fresh and fleshy design that draws guests in. Comfortable sofas and a few high tables provide varied seating options, making it an ideal spot for both casual gatherings and more intimate meetings.

The food menu is as diverse as it is delightful. It comprises a range of snacks and skewered items, perfect for light bites, alongside more substantial dishes for those seeking a heartier meal. There is something for everyone.

Plonk’s wine list is meticulously arranged according to classic wine varieties, primarily focusing on traditional styles with a few intriguing additions. A standout feature is "The Short List," which allows guests to choose wines categorised into enigmatically named styles such as “SCENTS. FLORALS. THE TROPICS. EXOTICA” and “RICHER. BROADER. TEXTURAL. ‘BIGGER BONES’”. This innovative approach ensures that both seasoned wine lovers and newcomers can find something to suit their tastes.

I appreciate the thoughtful offerings at Plonk. And its energy. Weekly gigs featuring jazz performances on Thursdays and DJ sessions on Fridays add to the spirited tone, with more exciting events announced regularly.

Plonk Wine Bar is a must-visit for anyone in Wellington, whether you're a local or a visitor.
