Just a hop, a skip and a jump into central Wellington you'll find a friendly relaxed place named The Hop Garden. It's still in its infancy - this very cool joint has only been open since January - so it's all new 'n' shiny, and there's still time for you to become a regular and claim you discovered it before anyone else. The crew who work they're a pretty nice - you might be able to bride them into backing you up...

Today you can grab yourself a $30 food and beverage voucher to take along when you visit. But like the genius bargain hunter you are - you'll only pay $10 for it. This coupon can be used any time during their opening hours, and they've just launched a full menu - go on and check it out!

The Hop Garden has a great selection of bar snacks and plates to share - if you're the type that always suffers from order envy as soon as the dishes arrive - this is the prefect solution! You'll also find a great selection of wine and more hoppy goodness than you can shake a stein at. In fact, there are 11 beers on tap and a wide selection of bottled brews and craft beer to try; Emerson’s Pilsners,  Moa Tuatara APA , Hofbräu and Crouchers to name just a few!

If you're after something more substantial your timing couldn't be better - The Hop Garden has just introduced their full restaurant menu - here's a sneak peak. How about Kalamata Olive and Herb Crusted Roasted Lamb Rump so tender and juicy it's almost sinful... or a fillet of Pan Fried Snapper, cooked to tender perfection and served with Chorizo and a Pepper Dew Sauce? You can read more about their tasty creations here.

So there you have it, trendsetter... get in quick and make this your local before the rest of the city does. You'll find it right at the bottom of Mount Victoria and it's open Monday to Wednesday 4:00 pm till late, Thursday and Friday from 12:00pm till late and on Weekends from 10:00am till late.
