About
Sprig + Fern Berhampore is Wellington's go-to neighbourhood brewery and bar, proving that some of the best craft beer in the capital doesn't need to hide in the CBD. Located on Adelaide Road in Berhampore, this locally-owned spot has built a reputation for excellent house-brewed beers, relaxed hospitality, and a genuine commitment to showcasing Wellington's brewing culture. Their rotating tap list features both their own creations and guest beers from around New Zealand, making it a natural hub for anyone serious about craft beer.
Visit expecting a genuine neighbourhood vibe rather than polished gastro-bar theatrics. The space feels lived-in and welcoming—perfect for solo drinkers at the bar, groups of mates, or couples looking for honest conversation over quality beer. Most visitors spend 1–3 hours here, though it's easy to lose track of time. The food offering is solid without being fancy, and staff genuinely know their product; they'll guide you through the menu without any pretension. It's worth noting the spot gets busy Friday and Saturday evenings, so aim for a weekday visit if you prefer a quieter experience.
Berhampore itself is emerging as Wellington's savviest neighbourhood for eating and drinking—Sprig + Fern anchors the local scene and pairs well with nearby cafes and boutique shops. It's 10–15 minutes from the city centre by bus or a pleasant walk from Newtown if you're bar-hopping. Spring through autumn is peak visiting season, though it's genuinely good year-round. If you're combining brewery visits, this is an essential stop on any Wellington craft beer crawl.
