When Off­beat Ori­gin­als mys­ter­i­ously and sud­denly closed last year, we were ter­ribly update.

Back in Octo­ber, a sign sadly advised that the joint was “closed until fur­ther notice”. We did­n’t hold out much hope, nom­in­at­ing Off­beat in the Most Missed cat­egory at the TAWAs.

But today Wellin­gonista Tom spot­ted this new sign:

Reopen­ing Feb­ru­ary? Yay! Under same man­age­ment? Even bet­ter! Wel­ling­ton beat­nik and hip­ster com­munity, it is time to rejoice!
