There are a number of trendy cocktail bars in Wellington that are perfect for a romantic evening out, such as the upscale Hippotamus Restaurant and Bar located just across from Wellington Harbour. On level 3 of the QT Hotel, you may relax with a margarita at the bar and take in the harbour views while taking in the magnificent, ornate décor. The Library, which may be found concealed in the middle of Courtenay Place, is yet another excellent option. Don't be fooled by the outer look; as you go inside, the bar's name will give away the sort of décor that has been used to create an intimate and evocative space.
