    Quaint old world atmosphere befitting a pub that has been in Wellington from its starting days! Quite a lot of options for seating. Decent food and a great selection of beers. A great place to unwind after a week'd grind in Wellington.

    Great place for huge group gathering, good bar food, great atmosphere, has a tiny court yard with plenty of sun under glass roof. Kids friendly with high chair. They offer virtual dining tour.

    Birthday Lunch – 10h May

    10 of my workmates and I rocked into the Thistle to enjoy a celebration lunch with one of our colleagues. We do dine here regularly, as the food is always of very good quality and the staff are extremely warm and friendly. (Thistle staff understand what ‘good customer service’ is – albeit due to good training or just individual desire to be of service, so maybe good recruitment. Whatever you like to call IT, it works and we keep going back for more)
    • I’ve ‘never had a meal here that wasn’t great – so one builds up expectations of a certain consistency of quality and our lunch was no exception.

    What did we love? I did wonder if Thistle pulled out all the stops as it was a birthday celebration
    • Once again the food was really superb
    • Our birthday girl received her main meal free, as per Thistles website (what a lovely gift for her & that made it even ‘more special’) 
    • Personalised Menu for our birthday girl – I just think that was a really lovely personal touch. (A gold bordered birthday menu designed with the name of the birthday person & given to all guests on the table) CLASSY !!
    • Our birthday girl took that memento home to show her partner as she was so chuffed by it. (So I guess you’ll have more guests arriving for birthday dinners or lunch in the future Thistle Inn)

    :) Thanks for a lovely celebratory lunch special and we’ll be back

    Great food, decent beer selection and always a good atmosphere for the office crowd. Bit on the pricey side, but it's in the centre of the capital so to be expected. The atrium offers a nice, bright spot to have lunch.

    Stalwart watering hole for the Thornton Civil Servant crew. Thistle Inn is as old as New Zealand is, and shows its refined class and dignity on all sides. Super beer options, if a little expensive once you do the maths, will see you, the nearby spies, and internationals being hosted well-watered. Wine choices are also strong, making Thistle a good choice for beer-lovers with significant others with differing tastes.
    Food options sit at a slightly awkward median between fine pub food and set dining - this lends itself well to a really mixed crowd of tastes, though can feel awkward as a dinner venue.

    Go here to enjoy the people-watching and great, beer-soaked atmosphere.

    Excellent service and excellent food. Wait staff was very polite and extremely attentive; even went to the extent of recognising a birthday card and acting accordingly.

    Third time eating here every time I am very satisfied. Good value for money.

    Rib eye steak, $34. Perfectly done (medium rare), topped with bacon & potato cake and asparagus, finished off with a delicious béarnaise sauce. Not your standard pub fayre. No hesitation recommending it.
    Friendly, welcoming staff and a cosy atmosphere on a quiet Monday evening.

    Superb service let down by OK food.
    Our waitress was beyond reproach with superb knowledge of the menu, attention to detail and a friendly manner. Well done. A 'Kid Friendly' restaurant that is welcoming with an attractive menu. My wife enjoyed her meal but my steak was underwhelming compared to the promise on offer on the menu and by the waiting staff. A bland under-cooked steak with sides that while inspired lacked substance. I would try something else if I come back.
