Great little space with widest variety of plays and shows in Wellington. Tickets are very affordable, and the bar is a wonderful place to watch the world go by outside the window

A very good small theatre in Wellington, with a friendly and artistic atmosphere. The venue is more intimate than a traditional large theatre, allowing the audience to feel close to the performers and fully enjoy the show. The programme is original and showcases local creativity. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable both before and after the performance. The theatre itself is a little small, but that is also part of its charm. A great cultural venue to spend an enjoyable evening in Wellington.

Very comfortable and cozy little venue. the stage was accommodating and seated roughly 80-100 people comfortably. The customer service was on point out of the six people working behind the bar only one person was qualified to manage the drinks. Plenty of house wines to select from which are local or near local from wolf creek, Oyster Bay just to name a few. Seating at the front was minimal but there is an upstairs lounge that can host more people. A good place to come a chill with the partner or friends Wheelchair access is available around the side 😊😊 Currently at the time of this post the BATS is hosting The NZ comedy festival and we (partner and I) had the privilege of watching Abby Howells (Taskmaster NZ) perform and she was just hilarious. Five stars!!

My husband and I went there to watch the improvised drama performance and it was brilliant!! Despite that the theater is a little tiny and crowded given so many people attending this show, it's an excellent experience being here. Staff are nice and kind. Thanks Mahua for performing in Wellington!
