About
Bebemos, located on Riddiford Street in Newtown, is Wellington's go-to brewery and bar for anyone serious about craft beer and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The brewery has built a loyal following by focusing on quality over hype—their rotating tap list features house-made brews alongside carefully curated guest beers, and the owners clearly know their craft. It's become a genuine local hub rather than a tourist trap, which is partly why it consistently earns strong ratings and keeps regulars coming back.
When you visit Bebemos, expect a relaxed, unpretentious vibe with knowledgeable staff who'll help you navigate the beer menu without being pushy. The space itself feels lived-in and comfortable—think industrial brewery aesthetics paired with proper hospitality. Most people spend 1.5 to 3 hours here, nursing a flight or two and chatting with staff or other drinkers. It works brilliantly for solo visitors (the bar seating is perfect for that), couples on a casual date, and groups of mates. Newtown's walkability means you can easily bar-hop or grab food nearby, and the venue's unpretentious nature means you won't feel out of place whatever your beer knowledge level.
Bebemos slots perfectly into a Newtown crawl—pair it with the character of the neighbourhood's vintage shops, galleries, and eclectic food scene. It's worth visiting year-round, though the warmer months bring more foot traffic and outdoor energy to the strip. If you're planning a Wellington brewery tour or just looking for somewhere authentic to drink craft beer, this is the kind of place that justifies the trip to Newtown.
