The latest in the “stuff I convinced you was a good idea when you were drinking so that I could publish it on the Internet” series.
I have it on good authority that Cole is one of the worst tasting things X has tasted and he once ate a piece of couch to impress a girl. [...]

We all know that Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, but working in a bar you get hit with all sorts of crackpot philosophy. It seems after 34 pints everyone knows the meaning of life, it’s just that they’ve forgotten it by the time they wake up in the morning.
So, I decided that a [...]

It’s fair to say the first Dr. Sketchy’s night in Christchurch was a resounding success. The bar was so full we had to turn people away – off home to sketch their wife in the nude again.

I think it is a really good concept: Life drawing with booze added. I have talked to the organisers [...]

The latest baby pouring a pint is young Finley, who at less than a week old is the youngest baby yet to pour a pint. Congratulations Emma and Paul. And doesn’t he just look so happy to be the punchline of our joke?
Note how cool his wee cardie is…

Since we opened over a year ago we have received some high praise, but none quite so glowing as Dave Nixon’s weekend visit when he told me:

Future aliens will use this blog as a study on life in the early [...]

A woman came in over a month ago who had lost her earring which seemed to be very important to her. I found it and now don’t have her contact details. Hopefully she is one of the three regular viewers of this crappy blog…

Past month’s bachelors are now shacked up with nice girls, so maybe this blog contributes to some good in society to balance all the harm it causes…

This month’s bachelor is Damian. When we were setting up Damian helped us with painting, decorating and the concept of the place as a whole. He thought up the [...]

Again, in an effort to keep you up-to-date on what’s coming up:
All you arty types who fancy you can draw… You should all come down on Thursday June 24 at 6.30pm for Dr. Sketchy’s Anti Art School. Basically, it’s like a life drawing class, but more risque. It’s $10 and that money goes to the [...]

This month we have changed our approach… Rather than making art we have imagined in what context you might come across a giant blackboard? The result is a giant nerdfest.

Terrible, terrible news. The stuffed pheasant has been stolen…
You may remember a post some time ago titled “Tim’s Stuffing Stuff”. The point was that Tim had developed a healthy hobby outside of drinking. Him and Rosie spent so long lovingly stuffing the pheasant that was brought into us by Lady Ruby.
On Saturday night the phesent [...]
