About Martini on Jackson

About this place

Martini on Jackson is a bar and restaurant at 181 Jackson Street, Petone, occupying the site that previously traded as Cheddar and reopened after a modern refit. It presents as a gastropub with a cocktail focus — handcrafted cocktails alongside small plates and a wider food menu.

Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 12pm–9.30pm, Friday 12pm–11pm, Saturday 11am–11pm and Sunday 11am–9pm, giving it later weekend trading than many Petone venues. Jazz and blues is programmed on selected nights. Online ordering and table booking are available through the venue's own website, and it can be reached on 04 260 1200.

Martini on Jackson holds a Google rating of 4.7.

For organisers

The cocktail-led offer and small-plates format suit stand-up drinks receptions, welcome functions and informal networking more than formal seated conferencing, and the late Friday and Saturday close supports evening social programmes. Its Jackson Street position places it within walking distance of other Petone food and drink venues.

Function space, group menus, capacity, exclusive hire and minimum spends are not published, so group and private-function availability should be confirmed directly with the venue.
