A little bit Ponsonby, a whole lot of Country.

She’s Wild.
She’s Free.
She’s Jolene

Jolene is Ponsonby’s country restaurant with a modern edge. What began as a summer pop-up has become a permanent home on Ponsonby Road, where good food, delicious drinks and live music meet. She’s warm, wild and unapologetically herself, and now you’re part of the story too.
