About The Junction

The Junction is a pub on Victoria Street in Wellington Central, at the end of Chews Lane, describing itself as Wellington's newest pub. It's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days a week, whether you're after a quick bite, a slow lunch, or an after-work drink among friends.

The food side runs an all-day menu that covers everything from something healthy to something a little more indulgent, alongside a dedicated breakfast menu served from 8am on weekdays. The drinks menu covers pints, wine, and coffee, catering to everything from a morning caffeine fix to a hard day at the office that calls for a Pinot.

The Junction also hosts private functions, with a team on hand to help put together a function space for group bookings. As a supervised licensed venue, it operates as R18 unless minors are accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

The Junction: Wellington's Newest Pub on Victoria Street

At the end of Chews Lane on Victoria Street in Wellington Central sits The Junction, a pub that describes itself as Wellington's newest. It's built for the full run of a day — open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, six days a week — with room for a quick bite, a slow lunch, or an after-work drink among friends.

Food, All Day

The Junction runs both a breakfast menu and an all-day food menu, downloadable as PDFs from its website. The all-day menu is pitched as flexible: something healthy if that's what you're after, or something a little bit naughtier if it's not. Among the dishes featured is a classic fish and chips, giving a sense of the straightforward, pub-style food on offer alongside the wider all-day spread.

Breakfast service starts at 8am on weekdays, matching the venue's own opening hours, so there's time for a proper sit-down before the workday even if you're an early starter.

What's Your Poison?

The drinks side is just as central to The Junction's identity — the website leads with the line "What's Your Poison?" pointing straight to the drinks menu. Whether it's a pint, a wine, or a quick coffee, the bar is set up to cover the full range, open from 8am each weekday for coffee runs and staying open till late for anyone needing a Pinot after a hard day at the office.
