The bar menu is designed for flavour-focused, casual eating — from classic cheeseburgers to other options crafted for a satisfying bite, including an Angus beef and bacon chili cheeseburger. On Wednesdays, Office Bar hosts a weekly quiz night where guests can test their knowledge over food and drinks with friends. The venue also offers customisable packages for hosting small functions and intimate gatherings, with the team promising exceptional service for events booked through them.

On Riddiford Street in Newtown, Office Bar has positioned itself as a go-to neighbourhood spot for a casual meal, a weekly quiz night, or hosting a private function — all under one roof.
Office Bar's daily bar menu leans into crowd-pleasing, flavour-focused bites, with burgers front and centre. The Angus beef and bacon chili cheeseburger is one of the standout options on the menu, alongside classic cheeseburgers and other options for guests looking for something a little different. The bar frames the experience as an "unforgettable burger experience," aiming to have something for both burger traditionalists and those after a more unique bite.
For a regular night out, Office Bar runs a weekly quiz night every Wednesday, inviting guests to test their knowledge with friends over food and drinks. It's pitched as a fun, low-key way to spend a weeknight in Newtown, combining the bar's food offering with some friendly competition.
Beyond regular service, Office Bar also caters to private events, offering customisable packages for small functions and intimate gatherings. The venue promises exceptional service for anyone looking to book a function, positioning itself as a flexible option for groups wanting something more private than a standard night at the bar.
Office Bar's hours shift depending on the day. Mondays run from 10am to 10pm, while Tuesday through Saturday the bar stays open considerably later, from 9am through to 1am — making it an option for both daytime visits and late nights out. Sundays wind things back slightly, running from midday to 10pm.
Office Bar operates under Peak Hospitality Ltd, which runs a small group of venues across the greater Wellington region. These include Bellevue Gardens Hotel in Lower Hutt, a sports bar with TAB betting and gaming machines; Bedrocks Bar, also in Lower Hutt, known for its cozy feel and friendly staff; Metro Sports Bar in Porirua, which offers big-screen sport, karaoke and poker; and Sporty's Bar in Palmerston North, a spot for sports fans and casual drinkers with cold beer on tap. While each venue has its own character, they share a common thread of casual hospitality aimed at locals looking to unwind.
Office Bar can be reached by phone, email, or through its Facebook page, and the venue also runs an enquiry form on its website for those wanting to ask about bookings, functions, or general questions. For anyone in Newtown looking for a casual bar with solid pub food, a weekly quiz night, or a space to host a private event, Office Bar offers a straightforward, no-frills option with flexible hours across the week.
