The Little Place, with a Big Heart

Poquito is that special slice of genuine Wellington flare and true hospitality owned and run by longtime Wellingtonian Judi Weir and family. The amazing cocktail slinging bar team take the helm in the evenings to provide exceptional service and custom built cocktails, designed especially for you.

Locally owned and well loved, Poquito offers delicious coffee and daytime food, that turns into bar snack tapas in the evening. This is complemented by an ever-rotating range of fine wines, beers and delightful cocktails alongside their impressive Whisky selection and curated back bar.

Whats more there's always soulful music playing inside and a range of meaningful events that are free and easy. Poquito is also available for parties and function hire.

Poquito is the little place with a big heart.

Every Thursday night we host our ‘Songwriter Sessions’ where keen creators and listeners hear the freshest of local musical talent. This little gem of a night is hosted by Seamus Johnson, from local band Sea Mouse, who has voice of rock and blues legends of old.

We take pride in everything we create at Poquito, from our delicious coffee and tempting sweet treats in the day, to our carefully crafted cocktails in the evening.

After 4 years of new ownership Poquito is now becoming widely reputed as a fine destination for amazing cocktails and service. We are open until late and hope to see you soon!
