Gear Street Union: Craft beers, cocktails and diner dishes

Gear Street Union is a fun and vibrant diner-style bar. Housed in the old Wellington Motorcycles building, it’s full of character.

Always bustling on Friday and Saturday nights, it’s a popular destination for after-work drinks. There’s a long list of craft beers on tap, a selection of themed cocktails, and lots of local wines to choose from. If you don’t want to wait your turn at the bar, choose a drink from the huge industrial self-service fridge.

Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks, the diner theme continues throughout the menu. There’s a mix of American-influenced and Kiwi fare. Try macaroni cheese bites, buffalo chicken tenders, and fish and chips. Breakfast options range from eggs to smashed avocado.

The interior is bright, bold and full of character. Barbershop booths, bright neon signs, and diner merchandise line the walls. The main bar sits atop a huge pickup truck. The music is infectious, and the hospitality is fast and friendly.

Join other diners at large communal tables or tuck into a cosy corner in one of the booths. If the weather permits, the outdoor area is a welcome place to gather with friends under the festoon lights.
