You may remember a posting regarding our collaborative novel. The concept was that sitting on the bar we would have a book that all the bright minds who came to the bar could contribute toward. At the end, we would have this awesome novel that represented the narrative of the group. I am sad to [...]

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 [...]

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: Goodbye Blue Monday is the best bar in New Zealand (and he has visited a few) Future aliens will use this blog as a study on life in [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As we have so many arty types drinking here, we have decided to exploit them and profit off their creativity. As such, we have started our first collaborative novel, written by you, the Goodbye Blue Monday customer. You will see it sitting at the end of the bar. Feel free to continue the narrative. Once [...]

Be very, very careful about drinking too much. If you get intoxicated and show up late at night wanting cheap red wine, we will convince you that putting on the Skank Skirt and letting us take photos of you is a good idea. Then you will wake up in the morning: “Oh god, what did [...]

Today when I came into work I discovered some tart had left her skirt behind on Saturday night. It must be a good night out when you are in the taxi home at the end of the night and realise you are just wearing your leopard-print g-string. “Fuck… I’ve got no skirt on. How embarrassing.” [...]

Another hilarious photo of a baby pouring piss. Feel free to bring your child in for us to exploit them… Matilda is two years old and her interests include doing poos on her own and pulling the cat’s tail.
