Heyday Beer Co

Craft beer is enjoying its heyday in Wellington and there's no better place to enjoy it than at this friendly joint on Cuba Street.

Anyone who's walked up and down Cuba Street on a sunny afternoon will know Heyday Beer Co. No sooner does the sun peek out behind the buildings and Wellingtonians and visitors from far and wide flock to Heyday's friendly beanbags out front, soaking in some rays and hydrating with premium crafties. If, however, Wellington's notoriously temperamental weather doesn't allow for alfresco dining, head inside where you'll definitely learn a thing or two about the beer brewing process. Not ones to hide the craft, Heyday has its barrels on full display next to its easy-going bar stools and tables.

To go alongside your beer, Heyday has crafted the ultimate menu of comfort eats. Nothing compliments a beer better than a juicy burger and you can enjoy yours with Manuka smoked brisket, organic beef patties or jackfruit. Alternatively, dispose of the brioche and go all in with some chicken wings. Up next is another hand-held favourite: the taco. Take on two of these Mexican staples with brisket, BBQ pulled pork or jackfruit and be sure to order in some jalapeno cheesy bites and fries on the side.

Finally, it's time for a last beer. With rotating beers and seasonal specialties on tap, you're bound to try something new on each visit. Simply ask a member of staff for their recommendation and welcome in your very own heyday. Life's for living!
