Enter Another World
From the owners of Wellington institution The Matterhorn comes a new venue - Mighty Mighty. Occupying an upstairs space overlooking Cuba Mall, Mighty Mighty is fast becoming one of Wellington’s favourite haunts.
Plush red curtains and palm trees set the scene, live music gets people on the dance floor, and the cocktail menus are found inside brilliantly-coloured old vinyl dust jackets.
Stop by and see what all the fuss is about.
Schoc Yourself
A visit to Wellington would not be complete without a bit of Schoc treatment – Schoc chocolate that is. The Wairarapa-based company operates a chocolaterie and espresso bar in central Wellington, offering treats to tempt all tastebuds.
Try a blind chocolate taste test, and guess from a board of possible flavours. Or sample a hot chocolate, infused with spicy chilli. Based on the broader principles of Chocolate Therapy, this little shop is making waves worldwide.
Discover Schoc for yourself.
