The best range of pubs is on Jackson Street in Petone. Choose between several bars, including:
Murphy's Law The ubiqutous Irish Pub
Firemans Arms Good beer, good food
Speights Ale House Restored Victorian Pub with excellent restaurant and Speights on tap
Or get some fresh artesian 'adams ale' from the well on the corner of Jackson Street and Buick Street - the locals say it's the purest water in the world, and best of all it's free.
[In fact, the locals laugh at the tourists and out-of-towners lining up at the tap, which is actually on the side of the Settlers Museum on the Esplanade at the bottom of Buick St. Contrary to the urban myth, the water from the tab is from the same supply as every other tap in town.]
