About
Garage Project Wild Workshop Taproom & Cellar Door in Te Aro is Wellington's go-to destination for adventurous craft beer lovers and curious explorers. This isn't your standard brewery—it's a full sensory experience where experimental brewing meets unconventional hospitality. Garage Project has built a cult following across New Zealand for pushing boundaries with wild fermentation, barrel aging, and collaborative brews that you won't find anywhere else. Their Wild Workshop concept lets you taste their most daring creations in a space that feels more like a creative laboratory than a traditional bar.
When you visit 7 Furness Lane, expect an industrial-cool atmosphere with exposed brick, thoughtful lighting, and a genuinely knowledgeable team who can guide you through their rotating lineup. Most people spend 1.5 to 3 hours here, moving from flights to full pours as they discover their preferences. It works equally well for solo explorers nursing a single beer, couples on a date, and groups of mates sharing tasters. The space is welcoming without being precious—bring friends who appreciate craft beer craftsmanship, or come alone if you want to chat with locals at the bar. Parking is available nearby on Furness Lane, and it's a short walk from Cuba Street.
Garage Project fits perfectly into a Wellington craft beer crawl (Tuatara and other breweries are nearby) or as a standalone afternoon adventure. The waterfront and Te Papa Museum are a 10-minute walk, so you can easily combine it with other city highlights. Year-round it's worth visiting, though the warmer months bring more foot traffic and outdoor appeal. Summer (December–February) often sees special releases and occasional outdoor events, while winter visitors appreciate the intimate indoor vibe. With a 4.8/5 Google rating from 69 reviews, locals consistently praise the beer quality and staff expertise.
