Lucky 8 is a pan-Asian restaurant and bar at 16 Courtenay Place, Te Aro, Wellington, an offshoot of the Auckland original that expanded to Wellington's Golden Mile. Owner Paul Wong describes it as a cross between a high-end restaurant and an edgy late-night lounge, inspired by the roadside beer stalls and street-food culture of Asia.
The venue is unusually multi-faceted, with four distinct areas — a Side Bar, the Main Lounge, a Private Dining Room and a street-facing Terrace. The menu spans Chinese and Japanese-influenced pan-Asian dishes, with signature cocktails and tapas at $8.88 and a bottomless yum cha option; guests can order à la carte or opt for the fixed-price unlimited yum cha. DJs feature on Friday and Saturday nights, giving the room an energetic, social character.
For MICE organisers, the dedicated Private Dining Room and multiple zones make Lucky 8 well suited to group functions, delegate dinners and after-hours social events in central Wellington. Its lively format and Courtenay Place address place it at the centre of the city's event and dining precinct.
