Welcome Function: Dockside Restaurant and Bar

The Welcome Function will take place on Sunday at The Deck, located within Dockside Restaurant and Bar. This stunning venue, originally built in 1887, is now a heritage-listed site recognised by the Wellington City Council. It stands as one of the oldest surviving structures integral to the operation of Wellington’s historic wharves.

Initially constructed as a single-storey warehouse, the building was later expanded in the 20th century to include a second level for Harbour Board tugboat crews. Timber buildings like this once lined the waterfront from Taranaki Street to Pipitea Wharf, but today, Shed 3 is among the few that remain, offering a rare glimpse into the city’s maritime past.
