Wellington’s best hip hop bar….NOT

Is it just me or does a remov­al truck being loaded up with boxes of liquor out­side a bar that billed itself as “Wel­ling­ton’s best hip hop bar” sug­gest that the bar was­n’t quite as good as it would have liked to have thought, and is now in fact in receiv­er­ship?

Or is it actu­ally just mov­ing to a new loc­a­tion?

If you can use some exotic booze…

…there’s a bar in Cuba Mall. Okay, so that does­n’t swing quite as well as the ori­gin­al, but those with a long­ing for out­rageous cos­tumes and hard drink­ing, but who can­’t stom­ach the Sev­ens, ought to know that it’s Tiki Bar week­end at Mat­ter­horn.

That’s right: you have one more night to savour con­coc­tions based on clas­sics by Trader Vic and Beach­bum Berry; bar staff dressed as Hawaii­an deit­ies; bub­bling cauldrons of leth­ally refresh­ing punch; and some of the chees­iest slices of lounge exot­ica ever com­mit­ted to vinyl.

It’s been a ban­ner week here at the Wel­ling­tonista Towers for drink­ing net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies. Yes­ter­day was the VIP night at Beck­on, tonight was a Ponoko show­case at the Para­mount, and tomor­row we’re meet­ing up to dis­cuss our evil plans for world dom­in­a­tion.

Find out what we’ve been up to after the jump.
