Pokies near Me

Booked to go before an event, to be close to the Stadium. What a mistake. Service was not what we expected. The table we got happened to be in a poor location. Wait staff seem very inexperienced or just poor at communication. One could not even understand us at all? The burger is a no-go. Seriously, both our patties tasted like boiled mince with no real flavour. Have you heard of the maillard reaction? Even the fries that you have to pay extra for were absolutely horrible! Like they had been baked multiple times, and just over-cooked.
The best part was having your card taken "to open a tab at the bar", which screams to me that something was not right, looking back now. Then, as soon as I paid, my bank blocked my card for potential fraud. This screams dodgy stuff happening here!
You guys better get your $h!t sorted out. You will never see me there again...

Update for owner: I don't have to unblock my card each time I have used it at a Bar or Restaurant (in fact, I have never had to, and this was the first time it has happened) so the fact that it happened this instance was not a good experience. Fact: Banks don't randomly block cards. There must be a pattern of behaviour that was picked up. And the fact that the message from the bank specified the transaction at The Duke as the reason for blocking the card, there was no question about my understanding.
Sorry if I hurt your feeling(s), but with the number of things that did not go well for us, I cannot put it down to being "too busy". If you're booked to capacity, then you should be able to prepare for that. Bottom line. And the fact that your food is over-priced while being horrible is just another jab. I didn't have time to negotiate with staff that hardly understood me (I didn't have Google translate this for me).
This may just be a one-off occurrence for you, but it left a horrible taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. There are too many good experiences elsewhere in Wellington that have been much better than this.

It is a nice place to catch up. I had see food and 🍷. The food was fresh and delicious 😋. I recommend it.

Lovely, welcoming service. Spacious and comfy. Great assortment of dishes on the menu. Pasta was fab, considering this is a pub. Craft beers on tap. Excellent coffee. Delicious!

We always have the best time at the Duke! Love the staff, food & drinks are amazing - especially the weekly dukes favourites and the great gin and wine lists!! Perfect for a relaxing after work catch up!

The team always go the extra mile!

BEST PLACE EVER. Staff? Superb, friendly, helpful, relaxed. Food? Exquisite, beautifully presented without being pretentious, great price point, good portions. Location? Love it! Not on the waterfront but so close to, so it's not as busy, great for a quiet meal or drink. The decor is lovely, chic, clean and airy. If you love Gin you Have to visit this place!! Two pages of gin served 3 clever ways. Beers are great with a mix of classics and craft, local and specialities. A good range of non-alcoholic drinks and great coffee too. Open from early to late. We were on Wellington for 2 days and ate at a range of places, my only regret is that we went anywhere else, the Duke outshone every other eatery and bar in every way.

Very friendly and fast Service. Nice ambiente and very delicious food but not large portion.
I would fully recommend this place if you look so.ething for food and drink.

A simple lunch with a friend today. We still got a best service, delicious food with 2 free rose. Thank you for letting us had a great time.

Amazing service & great priced meals, didnt really like the hollandaise other then that great!!

An excellent gastropub, with a great selection of craft beers, wine and artisan spirits. Great food to match with what you are drinking. Fantastic bar staff and the decor is excellent.

The food is fantastic and the staff wonderful but the music was so loud it was painful. There was no way to hear the staff, or to talk to my table companions. If noise control had been contacted I'm convinced the music would've gone over the volume limit. I really felt for the staff having to work in such a noisy place and the damage being done to their hearing.

Music too damn loud. Wanted to talk to my friends... Couldn't. Food good, service excellent.

Best Fish n' Chips ever. Light crispy batter and fresh AF fish. Bang on!

We had an awesome Friday evening here a couple of weeks ago. Went along with a few work mates and there was an excellent 3 piece band called 'Dr Ropata Experience' playing which added to the atmosphere. They had an excellent set of classic tunes which provided great back-ground ambience but they also played some classic sing-along tunes which set the evening off perfectly. Would highly recommend - particularly if this band are playing. Top marks.

Good selection of beers on tap and in bottle. Quite a few food options, the ones ordered by our table were well proportioned, presented and prepared. Service was pretty good as well. Would recommend.

Exceeded expectations! Great range of drinks and food. Lovely presentation and generous portion sizes great value for money and nice decor too. Really enjoyed our lunch.

If you want great service and well priced delicious meals then this is the place for you. Since the last time I was here (quite a few years ago) the interior has been renovated, but the quality of food is still as good as it was back then. I highly recommend Duke of Wellington for a tasty and satisfying meal.
I highly recommend the Beef Mediterranean Salad!!
