About this place Dirty Little Secret

Dirty Little Secret is a rooftop bar built from shipping containers on top of the Hope Gibbons Building on Taranaki Street, in Wellington's Te Aro. It is a mainstream bar, gay-friendly rather than a gay venue, and the draw is sunset drinks and DJs above the city. It hosts a recurring Drag Bingo night, which brings a more queer crowd. Wellington weather decides a lot here: on a still evening it fills up fast, on a windy one it is quieter. Courtenay Place and Cuba Street are both a short walk away.

VISA WOAP. Pretty disappointed with the service, all the servers didn’t seem to care about actually serving us. Our WOAP burgers took over an hour to come and when they did they came cold. The burgers also seemed way nicer online, I would honestly give it a 3/10 considering it’s meant to be a WOAP burger it just seemed like a shitty one on the normal menu. Very disappointed.

Food takes over an hour to arrive and they don’t tell you beforehand. For simple fast food as well.
